Terry Newton has a good web site devoted to evolving core warriors. It
includes links to papers and programs including ga_war.c.
http://www.nc5.infi.net/~wtnewton/corewar/evol/index.html

My program is in a constant state of flux and would be pretty painfull
to read. I'd be happy to email it out though.

In my most sucessful experiment (meaning "I can't reproduce these
results") I got a population of warriors like the one below. It has a
Wilkies benchmark of about 95 and isn't strong enough to get on the
beginners hill.
