Welcome to BotB's Lyceum, a wiki-esque situation where BotBrs are attempting to help each other learn.
If you're new to the site, you should check out this article.
About the Lyceum
The Lyceum has several
categories and a general structure on how articles are related to each other. The most important ones are:
BotB Help
For everyone who's feeling a bit lost and confused, maybe.
Battles
Information about battles, both major and minor, as well as an overview of the many major battle series on BotB.
Formats
Information on all available and different formats on BotB.
Classes
An overview of all the different classes a BotBr can get, depending on which points they obtain.
Terminology
As a website with a lot of history, we also have our very own terminology in some cases. Most of it is explained in this very lyceum!
•
Trackers: A common tool for creating chip music is a tracker. Since this site features a lot of different chiptune formats, we also use a lot of different trackers.
•
Effects Commands: Since there are so many different tools to create music with, most of which use different effects and effect commands, there is a whole category related to it. Useful when you're working on something and forgot a specific command.
•
Helper Tools: A collection of tools used to make your life easier.
•
This Website: Especially helpful if you need information about BotB itself. The battle system, rules, navigation, etc...
•
The Hall of Knowledge: For everyone who wants to know EVEN MOAR!!!
Battles
Battles are the mainstay of the BotB community. BotB has a plethora of battle types, from major battles lasting several months to shorter hour-long battles (
XHBs), and a lot of different
formats. Maybe you could even
host one yourself...!
BotBrs
BotB users are referred to as
BotBrs. When a new account is created that BotBr is given the default
BotBr class of
n00b. After earning 25
points the BotBr will
level up to a different class level 1. BotBrs also earn
boons, the BotB currency, as they inspire BotB activity.
Announcements
BotB has a few ways of communicating activity. The home page is the most obvious, but there is also a (largely inactive) Twitter:
@battleofthebits. There is also a YouTube, where
results streams,
individual entries and battle compilations are uploaded:
battleofthebits.
Do note that the YouTube channel is not comprehensive in either regard. Not every entry gets an upload. Not every major receives a results stream.
IRC
BotBrs and non-BotBrs alike may talk up thing such as XHBs and relationship advice in our FREE*
IRC CHANNEL! We've even included
BotB the IRC bot and Vombot just for kicks at no extra charge!
*ISP/cellular telephone/telepathy subscription fees may apply.
Discord
An unofficial Discord Server, also featuring a channel linked to the BotB-IRC-Chat can be found by following
this invite link.
Glossary
The BotB Lyceum ontological
Glossary is a quick reference help.
