Corewar idea regarding a self-resetting core
|
| |
Hi all,
I would like to present you an idea regarding a self-resetting core, that might have the potential to add new behaviors to corewar without changing the instruction set and the game-play.
Let's assume that each cell in the core possess a counter. Whenever a cell is executed, modified or used as a pointer the counter is reset. After each process execution all counters in the core are decremented by 1. If a counter reaches zero, then the cell is converted back into its initial state "dat.f $0, $0" (which don't need a counter then).... more »

Boclr: Bombing scanner trick
|

We all know the concept behind clear-directed scanners right? A scanner with a SPL-clear, when the scanner finds something the SPL-clear is redirected to that position and it keeps scanning.
The problem with this strategy is the initial state of the clear, it isn't very effective to just start clearing somewhere. That is why the Zooom-trick was invented. This warrior didn't start the clear until it found something, without more lines of code, very clever!... more »
