Ever wondered what happens when you mix your grandma's #knitting patterns with 1980s assembly language? 🤔 Welcome to the world of Core War warriors, where digital gladiators throw virtual knitting needles to crash each other's imaginary computers. 😂 Spoiler alert: watching paint dry might be more exciting than this spectacle of "advanced" coding strategies. 🖥️💥

pMARS 0.9.5 is ready for release, unless any further changes are requested over the next couple of days. This release includes a new larger X Window display, a new colour Curses display, an optional CVD-safe colour palette, and multiple small issues fixed: https://corewar.co.uk/pmars.htm #corewar

Core War Challenge (Difficult): Write a program to spawn 8000 processes and fill the entire core with JMP 0 instructions, with one process running each JMP. If you solve the challenge, please share the program length and cycles, but not the code. #corewar

The 88 Core War Tournament is over! Congratulations to Inversed. #corewar

1st "Semiopacity" by inversed
2nd "Janus" by inversed
3rd "chaoscan" by Christian Schmidt
4th "TrItE Fighter 5" by Philip Thorne
5th "Bewitching'88" by S.Fernandes

⭐ Core War tournament reminder... the deadline for the 88 tournament is at 11:30am (GMT) on Saturday 15th November. Entries currently received from two players. https://corewar.co.uk/tournamentweekend2025a.htm #corewar

You are invited to enter The Core War Tournament Weekend 2025: 15–16 November. Full details at https://corewar.co.uk/tournamentweekend2025a.htm #corewar

The Core War Tournament Weekend will return to The Retro Computer Festival on 15–16 November, featuring an 88 tournament on Saturday and 94nop tournament on Sunday. Entries will be added to the top-x of the 88 / 94nop Koenigstuhl hills, after which we'll run an iterative push-off tournament with diversity scoring. Final rankings will be based on each entry's position in the iterative push-off. Entries by email, with a maximum of two per person per tournament. More details to follow. #corewar

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://corewar.co.uk/mandragora.htm #corewar

🏆 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. http://inversed.ru/CoreWar_Challenge_2.htm #corewar

This looks silly but it's a whole day of coding.

MOV instruction with different modes works. Still no negative values support.

This means simple Imp warrior program is simulated properly as shown on the recording.

#CoreWar #Assembly #x86

Printing warrior code done. Last feature was showing one or two operands (they all have two in memory.)

Now I need to create arena and insert two warriors. This will finish preparing for the most fun last step: simulation!

#x86 #Assembly #CoreWar

SMOLiX CoreWar first steps.

With just 3 bytes I have:
- program id (0-1) + opcode (0-15)
- destination: mode (0-3) + sign (0-1) + value (0-15)
- source: mode (0-3) + sign (0-1) + value (0-15)

The IMP warrior is:
db 0x01, 0x41, 0x40 => MOV $1, $0

#Assembly #CoreWar

Do anyone remember CoreWar?

I was thinking of doing some scripting language for my OS and then I recalled CoreWar. I was playing with it back in the days. It's simple and fun. The full RedCode is way too complicated for my needs so I started thinking about my own version.

Here's the latest draft.
