[16:58] MSG: Quit: humhum [16:58] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [17:00] hey [17:00] just back from work.... [17:00] trying to set up a small web server in my kome LAN [17:01] hacking on anything interesting wrt to corewars? [17:01] * bvowk thinks he's going to submit a new nano shortly.. [17:01] nano away! [17:01] I always try to find enough time to *really* start with cw...but never had for a long time... [17:02] I know corewars since being a child [17:02] i read dewdneys article when I was about 13 or something [17:02] had an amiga those days...and there was a corewars version, too! [17:03] but since then...i've never written a warrior again [17:03] :-( [17:03] well [17:03] holiday during june, I think [17:03] hope to find time *then* [17:03] yeah.. me too actually.. that'd put you at about 27 eh? [17:03] ;-) [17:04] I wish it was 27...actually I'm 30... [17:04] uh [17:04] I'd say start with nano.. its quick, its simple, and results are a little easier to figure (as there are 50 warriors on the hill) [17:04] ah [17:04] 94nop is *involved* [17:05] i see [17:05] there's a state of the art.. and its pretty tight (at least from my perspective, I can't write redcode to save my life) [17:05] hrm.. [17:05] 43rd place [17:05] :( [17:06] =) [17:06] not last...you've beaten 7 others [17:06] I was hoping for better, it burned alot of computrons to come up with that. [17:07] hehe...I know this feeling [17:07] http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=31115 <-- mizcu, I guess you better nap before your games :) [17:07] but it didn't took that much brain cells :P [17:07] fiveop: bah, brain cells.. [17:08] who needs them, anyway [17:09] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4908484.stm [17:10] these articles support my habit to sleep ... well nearly 40% of the time (if my timetable allows it) [17:12] the made a study with some college boys, some years ago. After keeping them awake for five days they were not even able to calculate 2+3--- [17:12] well [17:13] actually I think I know people [17:13] who can't do that after a whole night of sleep either... [17:13] :P [17:14] *yawn* [17:14] ;-) [17:14] heh [17:17] Join: sf joined #corewars [17:17] Hello [17:18] heya sf [17:18] Hi Bvowk [17:18] Nice new entry :) [17:19] bah! [17:20] It scores better than 3 of mine [17:20] I was hoping it would be higher than that.. [17:20] :( [17:21] Try submitting another :) [17:22] don't have another ready yet :) [17:22] I bet there are hundreds of thousands! Just send the second best :) [17:26] heh [17:29] Have you looked at the code? What form is it? [17:29] wouldn't that be telling? :) [17:29] spl mov mov djn djn [17:30] Oh? [17:30] is the first djn a djn.f -2? [17:30] Does the second ever get executed? [17:31] If not it would score much better if you removed the second djn because there are quite a few scanners on the hill [17:32] there were *MANY* variants, but this one scored best.. [17:32] 14 scanners on the hill [17:33] Might be worth a try, you'd have a 20% less chance of being detected against 28% of the warriors :P [18:13] MSG: Quit: I was using TinyIRC!

[22:20] Yes [22:21] What do ya need? [22:22] A large amount of help probaility [22:22] Well, ask questions, I have to leave in an hour or so [22:22] MOV 2,-1 [22:22] JMP 2 [22:22] DAT 0,0 [22:22] MOV -3,10 [22:22] SPL 9 [22:22] MOV -4,10 [22:22] MOV -4,10 [22:22] MOV -4,10 [22:22] MOV -4,10 [22:23] MOV -4,10 [22:23] MOV -4,10 [22:23] This is my first attempt [22:23] Which for some probaility very obvious reason doesn't work [22:23] Not sure why though [22:24] Can you see off hand what the problem with it is? [22:26] The idea is the first thread copies itself so the second thread can execute [22:27] You copy a dat to position 11 [22:27] as well as 14 [22:28] I'm guessin you want to copy mov/jmp/dat sequences? [22:28] You are copying it as mov/dat/jmp [22:28] So you hit the dat before you jump [22:28] And your process dies [22:30] datagram: Thanks [22:32] So is 94b going to let warriors older than 50 live?
