I want to learn to create my own Tcl scripts. Are there any tutorials?
By far the best tutorial on writing Tcl scripts for Eggdrop is SUNiNet’s Guide to TCL scripting for Eggdrop. You can also download the Beginners Guide to TCL, which is quite old (written in the 1.1.5 era) but still useful. A must-read is Peterre’s How to write eggdrop scripts that won’t choke on brackets and other special characters. You’ll need a couple of references when scripting. The first is the doc/tcl-commands.doc file included with your Eggdrop, which explains Eggdrop’s built-in Tcl commands. The second is the Tcl Manual itself, which contains an indispensable reference of Tcl’s own commands which can be used in your scripts. Examining scripts written by others is important to see how things are done. You can refer to scripts written by myself and others in the Tcl Archive. Once you’re somewhat comfortable with Tcl, you might want to check out the sprawling resource known as the Tcler’s Wiki, which contains lots of useful info to improve your scripting.
