K. Dewdney recently that described a game called Core War, where two programs written by the combatting programmers try to trash each other. The last program still standing (executing valid instructions) wins. Has anybody out there seen it? Have a copy of the game running on UNIX? We plan on putting one together if nobody has one they can share, but I'd be interested in others experiences/hints/bells/whistles anyway. thanks. dan becker harpo!db or harpo!groucho!dcb
