[alt.sources.d] Corewar, UNIX

clagett@ms.uky.edu (Bill) (10/07/89)

Does a public-domain version of Core War, as written about by A. K. Dewey in
     "Scientific America," exist?  Under UNIX even?

Thanks,
bill.

Yes, and I have several versions.  I may as well take requests for
sources again; this is a yearly sort of thing.  Email the address
below.

However, Corewars V2.0 by Choon-Piaw Na (cna@cory.berkeley.edu) will be out
for beta-testing at the beginning of next year.  You'll see it first for the
Amiga though, but a Unix port should be available Real Soon After.  8-)

V1.0 is still available from him via email if you still want it.  It will
be posted if demand warrants it.  (NOTE: V1.0 doesn't have the
auto-decrement indirect addressing mode, but it does include the SPL
instruction which was left out by most other implementation of Corewars.)
