Amiga pMARS ----------- This is an Amiga port of pMARS 0.8.5... There are two copies of pMARS in this archive. The pMARS executable is the simple, text-based version. This will run on pretty much any Amiga and is a good deal (roughly 20 times!) faster than the graphical one. It includes support for the 94 extensions. Requirements: Kickstart 1.3 or better, any 680x0 processor. pMARSv is the graphical version. It has all of the features of the normal one (including the debugger), but is pretty slow... This requires Kickstart 2.0 or better, and some features probably need 3.0. It's only been tried on my 3.0 machine though, so it might not work on 2.0/2.1. If that's the case, let me know. Misc Notes ---------- A few minor things aren't supported, namely the display/system commands in the debugger. The graphical version is fairly basic - oh, please note that it may seem a little unresponsive to keypresses on the higher speed settings. You may need to press a key a few times to get it's attention while plotting. Sorry about this; as you can imagine the simulation is *very* processor intensive. If you slow the simulation down a little it will react much better. The Amiga source code is not included in this archive, but is freely available upon request. Other ----- If you find a bug, or would like some additional features, mail me. It's all fairly simple at the moment, but once we know it works I'll worry about any enhancements. If you need to know how to do something in the debugger, or want to know why a program won't compile properly, it's best to ask in the rec.games.corewar newsgroup rather than ask me - I don't know much about this sort of thing yet. If I've left something out, or some feature doesn't work as you know it should, then *please* let me know. It's likely to be ignorance on my part rather than being a deliberate omission. I'm still a complete corewar newbie :) Mark Howson , Sunday 14-Jun-98 12:49:11 Amiga 1200T, 68040/25 603e/200, 32Mb RAM etc.
