20 years ago - Mandragora entered the KOTH 94nop hill on this day in 2005. A clear/imp with a g2-style SPL/DAT clear and vortex-launched imps https://t.co/LMn0Hg94QH
@citcsmobile Yes, pMARS is a good choice, also exMARS. Both easy to call from a script and capture the results. AzureMARS also looks promising, but I need to experiment with it a bit more.
@wrbuckley Not much interest in write limits today, but ~30 years ago there was a write-limit hill with several effective strategies. Eric Schwertfeger wrote about them here: https://t.co/vAbUKTqjmF - pMARS and CoreWin both support read/write limits.
@xcorewar What discussion has occurred respecting memory architecture? One problem I found with Core War is a lack of horizon; two dimensional memory might also help. How might the instruction set be modified to support these two concepts?
🏆 Congratulations to Inversed and Dave Hillis, who claimed first and second place in the Nano Core War Challenge with Reptiloid Supremacy, Reptiloid Conspiracy, and Smitten Atrocity. https://t.co/scXa77PHwl #corewar
