A few weeks ago, someone stated they had a working version of corewar and a few programs to go with it. apparently my request for this info got lost. (Im still a rookie) could someone mail me the pgrams and a set of instructions to implement the code on a 4.1bsd (apparently what it was written for) thanqueue

Corewar is a game in which little computer programs battle it out in a simulated computer. It derives from the game darwin somewhat but is a little easier to implement. A.K. Dewdney discussed it in the "Computer Recreations" column of Scientific American a few months ago. I wrote an implementation of it and posted it to net.sources. As soon as I get a copy of mcvax!piet's bug fixes (are you listening? Did you not get my mail?) I will post version 2 unless too many net gestapo protest. meanwhile people can send me requests for individually mailed copies, but watch out; there's a lot and intermediate site administrators might get upset. Tapes can be sent too, IFF they have return postage and a reusable mailer. tapes not meeting these crtiteria will be added to my scratch-tape collection. Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc.

Well, well. That will teach me to read ALL news (gasp) before replying. I got to 'net.sources' and see that mcvax!play (not piet, sorry for any confusion my memory fault caused) has already posted his version. It seems to have some good stuff added, and made OK at my site. I won't officially bless it because I think it doesn't matter as long as people enjoy it and no one makes a million bucks selling it for apple II's. (unless mcvax!play and I get cuts) --berry

But what is corewar? I'm burnt out on rogue and need something new to spend 5 hours a day on. -- uucp: ucbvax!ucsbcsl!discolo arpa: ucsbcsl!discolo@berkeley csnet: discolo@ucsb USMail: Computer Systems Lab U.C.
