Article 1508 of rec.games.corewar: From: gt7804b@prism.gatech.EDU (Wayne Edward Sheppard) Newsgroups: rec.games.corewar Subject: Some Redcode Message-ID: <76303@hydra.gatech.EDU> Date: 26 Nov 92 05:52:19 GMT Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology Lines: 134 I would like to share some of my code. PLASMA4a is my first program to reach #1 on the hill. Too bad it didn't stay up there very long. It can't survive with all of the imps and scanners out there. I'm sure someone could come up with an improvement. Heres an idea of how it works: The main loop scans until it finds something non-zero( also ignoring -1 ). Then it bombs up from that location, while a replicator kicks in. The second program is where I got the inspiration for PLASMA. Send it in to the Hill and look at the scores. It does amazingly well against other scanners and bombers. (65-35-0 on average) But against reps and imps, it loses 99 times out of a hundred. Maybe some other people could post some code also. ;redcode verbose ;name PLASMA 4a ;author Wayne Sheppard bomb equ start-1 start add #3039,loc ;mod 1 loc jmz start,-1 cmp #-1,@loc ;don't look at DJN trails slt #100,loc ;program length jmp start spl rep spl 0 mov bomb,
