+# DuckHunt IRC Bot
+
+A competitive IRC game bot implementing the classic DuckHunt mechanics with modern features. Players compete to shoot ducks that spawn in channels, managing ammunition, accuracy, and collecting items in a persistent progression system.
+
+## Features
+
+### Core Gameplay
+- **Duck Spawning**: Ducks appear randomly in configured channels with ASCII art
+- **Shooting Mechanics**: Players use `!bang` to shoot ducks with limited ammunition
+- **Accuracy System**: Hit chances based on player skill that improves with successful shots
+- **Gun Jamming**: Weapons can jam and require reloading based on reliability stats
+- **Wild Shots**: Shooting without targets results in gun confiscation
+
+### Progression System
+- **Experience Points**: Earned from successful duck kills and befriending
+- **Level System**: 40 levels with titles and increasing XP requirements
+- **Statistics Tracking**: Comprehensive stats including accuracy, best times, and shot counts
+- **Leaderboards**: Top player rankings and personal statistics
+
+### Item System
+- **Shop**: 8 different items available for purchase with earned money
+- **Inventory**: Persistent item storage with quantity tracking
+- **Item Effects**: Consumable and permanent items affecting gameplay
+- **Competitive Drops**: Items drop to the ground for any player to grab with `!snatch`
+
+### Gun Mechanics
+- **Ammunition Management**: Limited shots per magazine with reloading required
+- **Charger System**: Multiple magazines with reload mechanics
+- **Gun Confiscation**: Administrative punishment system for wild shooting
+- **Reliability**: Weapon condition affecting jam probability
+
+## Installation
+
+### Requirements
+- Python 3.7 or higher
+- asyncio support
+- SSL/TLS support for secure IRC connections
+
+### Setup
+1. Clone the repository
+2. Install Python dependencies (none required beyond standard library)
+3. Copy and configure `config.json`
+4. Run the bot
+
+```bash
+python3 duckhunt.py
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The bot uses `config.json` for all configuration. Key sections include:
+
+### IRC Connection
+```json
+{
+    "server": "irc.example.net",
+    "port": 6697,
+    "nick": "DuckHunt",
+    "channels": ["#games"],
+    "ssl": true
+}
+```
+
+### SASL Authentication
+```json
+{
+    "sasl": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "username": "bot_username",
+        "password": "bot_password"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Game Settings
+- Duck spawn intervals and timing
+- Sleep hours when ducks don't spawn
+- Duck type probabilities and rewards
+- Shop item prices and effects
+
+## Commands
+
+### Player Commands
+- `!bang` - Shoot at a duck
+- `!reload` - Reload your weapon
+- `!bef` / `!befriend` - Attempt to befriend a duck instead of shooting
+- `!shop` - View available items for purchase
+- `!duckstats` - View your personal statistics
+- `!topduck` - View the leaderboard
+- `!snatch` - Grab items dropped by other players
+- `!use <item_number> [target]` - Use an item from inventory
+- `!sell <item_number>` - Sell an item for half price
+
+### Admin Commands
+- `!rearm [player]` - Restore confiscated guns
+- `!disarm <player>` - Confiscate a player's gun
+- `!ducklaunch` - Force spawn a duck
+- `!reset <player> [confirm]` - Reset player statistics
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Modular Design
+- `duckhuntbot.py` - Main bot class and IRC handling
+- `game.py` - Duck spawning and game mechanics
+- `db.py` - Player data persistence and management
+- `utils.py` - Input validation and IRC message parsing
+- `sasl.py` - SASL authentication implementation
+- `logging_utils.py` - Enhanced logging with rotation
+
+### Database
+Player data is stored in JSON format with automatic backups. The system handles:
+- Player statistics and progression
+- Inventory and item management
+- Configuration and preferences
+- Historical data and records
+
+### Concurrency
+Built on Python's asyncio framework for handling:
+- IRC message processing
+- Duck spawning timers
+- Background cleanup tasks
+- Multiple simultaneous players
+
+## Duck Types
+
+- **Normal Duck**: Standard rewards and difficulty
+- **Fast Duck**: Higher XP but harder to hit
+- **Rare Duck**: Bonus rewards and special drops
+- **Boss Duck**: Challenging encounters with significant rewards
+
+## Item Types
+
+1. **Extra Shots** - Temporary ammunition boost
+2. **Faster Reload** - Reduced reload time
+3. **Accuracy Charm** - Permanent accuracy improvement
+4. **Lucky Charm** - Increased rare duck encounters
+5. **Friendship Bracelet** - Better befriending success rates
+6. **Duck Caller** - Faster duck spawning
+7. **Camouflage** - Temporary stealth mode
+8. **Energy Drink** - Energy restoration
+
+## Development
+
+The codebase follows clean architecture principles with:
+- Separation of concerns between IRC, game logic, and data persistence
+- Comprehensive error handling and logging
+- Input validation and sanitization
+- Graceful shutdown handling
+- Signal-based process management
+
+### Adding Features
+New features can be added by:
+1. Extending the command processing in `duckhuntbot.py`
+2. Adding game mechanics to `game.py`
+3. Updating data structures in `db.py`
+4. Configuring behavior in `config.json`
