EyeWire Chat Commands
Chat commands to improve your EyeWire experience.
One of the most important features in chat is /pm, a feature that allows you to send a private message to another EyeWirer.
Send a private message in chat by typing /pm USERNAME followed by whatever you want to say. So if you wanted to send a message to @Nseraf asking him what is the meaning of life, I would type ‘/pm Nseraf What is the meaning of life?’ and in chat it appears only to the user you send the message to. When someone sends you a message it appears as you see below. User @ice912 does not see the private messages between me Nseraf.
Too much chat? Shut it off by typing /silence into the comment bar. To turn chat back on, type the same command again.
International player? Type /join Korean or /join English to switch between EyeWire’s language chat channels.
ProTip: /join en or /join ko also work.
/me loves EyeWire
To add a special line in the EyeWire chat roll, type /me followed by an action you would like to express to other players. For example, typing ‘/me loves bacon’ results in the message ‘amy loves bacon‘
nkem_test Commands
EyeWire Chat has special player-generated commands created by @nkem. Here they are in full glory. This is one post in a series of posts highlighting features created by EyeWirers!
The following text first appeared here in the EyeWire forum and explains @nkem’s chatbot aka @nkem_test. Nkem’s bots also provide stats and feedback during competitions.
Overview over all commands that nkem_test understands right now:
If you send @nkem_bot a private message (how to send a private message), he’ll answer with a pm as well. (I use that for testing)
[These commands help players answer FAQs in chat by providing automatic detailed responses to common questions. Type the bold text into chat and @nkem_bot will give you — and the player asking a question — an answer]
FAQ
!about (Am I really helping science?)
Of course you are helping science: https://blog.eyewire.org/about/
!cb (cell body)
Does your cube contain such a huge blob? http://i.imgur.com/qAnsB.png
Then you got a (rather uninteresting) cell body. Just reconstruct the superficies and submit that work.
!colors (chat colors)
Yellow: Admin | Purple: Moderator | Blue: Day topscorers | Red: All-time topscorer
!dbg (debug window)
Type /debug in chat to see the cube ID, coordinates and other information.
!explore (explore mode)
Press Ctrl+E (or Cmd+E on Mac) to toggle “explore mode” on and off
Ctrl+D will delete everything you have done in explore mode; Ctrl+M will add it to your work
If you hit “I’m finished”, ALL colored paths are submitted! Be sure to use Ctrl+D

!video (rprentkis tutorial videos)

!w (Wolfram Alpha)
Query WolframAlpha straight from chat!
From @nkem:
a possible conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit would now require something like:“nkem_test, what’s 23°C in Fahrenheit?” or even something minimalistic as“!w 23C to F”Of course, Wolfram|Alpha is not just a conversion tool; third derivatives, distances and weather data of Boston in 1981 should work as well…
!online <username>
Checks for last activity of the user – seems to be a bit buggy… rather useless right now
!stats
might give some personal player statistics during competitions – answers are private messages
============
I am a bit biased concerning the usefulness of my bot… So if you find something annoying, please let me know. Feature requests, spell corrections and everything else is also welcome. However I can’t promise to include all suggested features…
We will keep this post updated with the lastest chat commands. See you online at EyeWire.org!
