A demo application for Practicing Ruby 5.2

If you want to run this on your own machine, you can run bundle to install the dependencies, or manually install them using gem.

From there, if you want to connect to a Freenode channel without a password, do the following:

ROVER_CHANNEL="#somechannel" ROVER_NAME="somenick" ruby bin/space_explorer

If the room you are trying to connect to requires a password, do this instead:

$ ROVER_CHANNEL="#somechannel" ROVER_NAME="somenick" ROVER_PASSWORD="somepassword" ruby bin/space_explorer

If you have any questions, feel free to email gregory@practicingruby.com.

Enjoy!
