[13:01] fine... [13:01] :-) [13:01] eh :-) [13:06] MSG: Read error: Connection reset by peer [13:25] MSG: Quit: Ex-Chat [15:35] Join: next joined #corewars [15:35] hi [15:37] how are you ? [15:39] everyone is french ?? [15:47] Join: bvowk joined #corewars [15:47] hrm. [15:47] :) [15:47] Hey bvowky [15:47] Hi next! [15:47] * bvowk brutally assaults fluffy with a dead seagate 400GB ES [15:48] bvowk: You should know that there's a reason why I've named myself Fluffy. [15:48] It just bounces off [15:48] it won't bounce off forever.. [15:48] next: Not french, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :) [15:48] I'm very determined. [15:48] so, I get a nice new box.. [15:49] 4 way dual core opteron.. [15:49] 4 hotswap 400GB ES disks.. [15:49] So nothing unusual then [15:49] and I'm happily churning code over on them.. [15:49] your evolver? [15:49] and I figure.. alright.. its been about a week.. this box should be solid.. [15:49] and almost exactly at that instant.. the box drops [15:49] so I go to the server room to investigate.. [15:50] and I hear this terrible screaming sound as I approach the door [15:50] if it would be liquid you'd probably have noticed earlier [15:50] so I'm expecting it to be a bad case fan (as this thing contains a huge supply of fans capable of supplying air to a small office tower) [15:50] but no, its a disk.. [15:50] a normally silent disk.. [15:51] maybe the one that you can't hotswap? [15:51] so it was so hot the top of the case bent out of shape a little and discoloured a bit [15:51] so it was *HOT*swap [15:51] did you burn your hand? [15:52] no [15:52] it was in a carrier [15:52] but I've never seen a disk crash out like that! [15:52] so now you have three hotswappable disks, haven't you? [15:52] and I've seen alot of disks crask [15:52] yup [15:53] next: Are you still with us? [15:53] I won't ask questions about why you'd need some 1.2 TiB! [15:54] or 1.6 TiB before the disk crash :) [15:55] who wouldn't need that much disk? [15:55] me! [15:55] I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know what they'd do with that much space [15:55] obviously some sort of defect in their creativity [15:55] I still haven't filled the 20 GiB of my laptop and I alrady use it for several months [15:55] * bvowk feels sorry for fluffy [15:56] yes I am there, to excuse me I does not understand all [15:56] You don't tell me anything new bvowky. I'm defective by design :) [15:56] don't worry fluffy, maybe there's a pill out there that can fix you. [15:56] or at least treat your symptoms ;) [15:56] and I am new on core war [15:56] next: Ignore bvowk for the moment. It is just tech talk [15:56] ok ok [15:56] next: Can I help you in any way with corewar? [15:57] yes ! [15:58] Then tell you problems or questions :) [15:59] then how made one to play against other people with coreware [16:00] ? [16:00] there are "hills" were you can send you warriors to [16:00] (by email) [16:00] there they fight against each other [16:01] http://koth.org [16:01] and [16:01] http://sal.math.ualberta.ca [16:02] http://sal.math.ualberta.ca/hill.php?key=94b has a beginner's hill [16:02] to send a warrior to the beginner's hill, just send it to [16:03] make sure that the first line of your warrior is [16:03] ;recode-94b [16:03] erm [16:03] ;redcode-94b [16:04] you know if there is French site of corewar? [16:05] None that I know of :( [16:06] http://vyznev.net/corewar/guide.html is a simple guide for beginners to learn Redcode [16:06] unfortunately in English [16:06] ok thank you [16:07] :) [16:07] and where pourais I to find a compiler of redcode? [16:08] Windows or Linux/Unix? [16:08] windows [16:08] http://www.geocities.com/corewin2/ [16:08] and http://harald.ist.org/ares/ [16:09] althought I prefer Corewin [16:09] *although [16:09] ok [16:10] at http://www.ociw.edu/~birk/COREWAR/koenigstuhl.html you can find an archive of published warriors [16:10] ok [16:14] it's hard ! lol [16:15] Yes, it is, but it is also very interesting :) [16:16] Do you need something else? [16:17] yes but it's hard because I am french and I 'm 15 years old then I do not control yet too English [16:17] So far I can understand you very well :) [16:18] really ?

[16:41] :) [16:42] red core c'est presque comme un virus [16:43] yes, that you can think of it as a virus [16:43] but it only runs in a simulated computer and not on a real one [16:45] one can make it walk on truths computer? [16:45] no [16:45] ok [16:45] at least nobody has done that yet [16:46] and it wouldn't a little bit difficult [16:46] *would [16:46] *would be [16:46] grmpf [16:47] ok ok [16:47] :) [16:53] I make my first warrior !

[17:01] against all warriors which are listed at http://sal.math.ualberta.ca/hill.php?key=94b [17:01] those are warriors, who other beginners have written [17:02] next: It seems as if there was a problem with your warrior.
