Faerion IRC Server project consists of an advanced, secure, multi-lingual IRC server for Unix/Win32.
Faerion is a Unicode-based IRC server. It features enhanced support and transparent conversion for different charsets, and provides a stealth network model, persistent channels, compressed links, etc.
Main features:
- Support for transparent, user-controlled charset translation (virtually) from anything to anything. This is done by using Unicode mappings, which can be installed or removed on the fly, without having to interrupt the server. The server supports a special "fallback" conversion table which maps all characters that are not supported by a users preferred charset to the closest looking characters. This process is typically referred to as "transliteration" and is widely used on Russian IRC networks to avoid problems with incompatible charsets. The difference is that with Faerion, the server takes all necessary investigation to see what should be transliterated, and what can be passed without changes.
- Clients that have native support for Unicode (UTF-8), will benefit from using it at full scale without the implication of "cryptic writings" (which raw UTF-8 is for a typical human eye).
- Support for "persistent channels": channels registered with the Channel Service (mode +r) are not deleted when the last user leaves. This slightly saves bandwidth and helps mitigate several privacy issues (such as channel key revelation).
- Support for channel forwarding based on user address matching rules: with channel mode +f enabled, all ban masks can have a ",#channel" suffix appended to them to forward clients to another channel instead of declining the attempt to join the channel.
- Limited portability. The server is currently available for most POSIX platforms (modern BSD and Linux variants) and Microsoft Windows.
Enhancements:
- The LIST command now requires users with unregistered nicknames to additionally specify a pseudo random number to prove their human nature, otherwise the command is ignored.
- Opers no longer need an O-line to use any command; remotely set +o works just fine.
- Fixed the charset conversion problem when a user gets registered on the server.
- Invite list no longer overrides ban list.
- Fixed a crash in WHOIS.
- Fixed to compile without warnings in -Werror mode with GCC 3+.
- Fixed the +c channel mode to disallow colors instead of stripping them.Also, when a topic is being changed by a nonop on a +c-t channel to something that contains colors, the attempt is denied.

Its interface is similar to many IRC chat clients, but you can have presence information for every channel, and its design is fully decentralized.

IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot.

It consists of a Java chess server, with frontend scripts to convert an IRC client into a chess bot. Players then communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands, and dont require any special software to play.

Frontend scripts are available for IRSSI and X-Chat.

The client is merely responsible for interpreting this data and displaying it. In this way, porting the system to a variety of IRC clients is very simple, since
the client script will be short, and effectively contain no code specific to the game being played.

In other words, the Java part is smart. The script is dumb and is just there to make things look pretty.

This idea works. Currently, client scripts have been designed for RSSI and XChat. Since both these programs use Perl for scripting, the scripts are practically identical, with a few client specific modifications.

Porting this script to other IRC clients shouldnt be too much of a hassle, since its just the frontend thats ported, not the chess game itself. Anyone wanting to create frontend scripts for other IRC clients, please feel free to do so.

The PROTOCOL file describes exactly what needs to be done.

Bozocas Webchat is a IRC chat applet.
