stupid-irssi-tricks: various irssi perl scripts by Urchlay.

bitmaptext.pl - print giant characters made of UTF-8 boxes
colors_per_channel.pl - Selectively strip colors in text from certain channels/nicks
complete_text.pl - word completion based on channel text
frotzglue.pl - Run a z-code interactive fiction game in a channel
help_path_completion.pl - Support /help word completion for files in help_path
jumble.pl - Smiultae bad tpying
newdice.pl - Die roller that accepts AD&D notation
seen.pl - Tell people when other people were online [*]
spaceslash.pl - treat " /command" as though the space weren't there
trap_stdin.pl - don't lock up irssi if a script tries to read STDIN
unifmt.pl - Fancy Unicode text formatting
upsidedown.pl - print "upside down" text
urlcleaner.pl - trim down ebay and amazon URLs
wide.pl - print double-width characters
yttitle.pl - get titles for youtube videos using yt-dlp

Some of these scripts are very unpolished, and may not have been
updated for modern irssi. They're in a separate repo partly because
they're not all ready for prime-time, and partly because I refuse to
create a github account.

Some of these scripts are intended to be used for bots: dedicated
irssi instances, not used for normal chatting, that just exist to run
scripts. irssi makes a *great* foundation for an IRC bot (beats the
crap out of the old Net::IRC module, for instance).

[*] The seen.pl script is the only one I didn't write: it's a modified
version of seen.pl from the irssi-scripts github repo, with the Polish
messages translated to English.
