Core Wars

Postby starfruitinc » Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:46 am UTC

I found out about Core Wars today! It seems like such a cool game. Basically, you program a bot in assembly and try to delete opponent's bots. Has anyone else played with this before?

If you don't know what it is here are some good places to start:

http://www.koth.org/index.html

If there are enough people interested, we could even form tournaments!


Note: if this should go into "Logic puzzles", please move this thread there moderators. Thanks!
