8sync new manual preview

Christopher Allan Webber at

I've written a pretty robust tutorial for 8sync, which will appear in the manual in the 8sync 0.4 release. It includes a full tutorial to write a custom IRC bot, how to write your own actors, how to write a networked actor from scratch (with an example of one you can connect to via telnet), and a section on live hacking.

Feedback welcome!

@Jason Self Yeah, it's in the orgmode source file at the top comment... this is just an export. It'll be in there when I convert to texinfo anyway... that'll be happening very shortly. This is my "draft pad" for the new texinfo file since I don't know how to write texinfo well. :)

The first simple example with just (when (looks-like-me?)) seems to be missing the string splitter and an actual argument to (looks-like-me?).

@Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠) You may be right. That's the one example I actually haven't tested yet... oops! I modified some existing code which does run for the tutorial and never got around to actually testing it out.

I'll make sure it works ok, thanks for reading!
