[02:44] Join: Phelix joined #corewars [02:46] Hi, I have been trying to install pmars on my macintosh, when I try and make with the default file I get an undefined symbols: _sighandler. Does anyone know how to work around this? [02:56] MSG: Quit: Quitting!

[19:23] Hi Mizcu [19:23] Checking now [19:30] just thought of something [19:32] CIA threw dat but if the 'desynch' of trigger and loop is ignored, what about nop (your mouth stapled shut?) [19:51] Sorry, was inventing a maths problem for a class tomorrow. [19:52] you a teach nowadays? [19:53] No, not me! [19:54] Join: yoR joined #corewars [19:55] Hiya [19:55] aye [19:57] Miz: An article about that would be intresting, I hope you write it [19:58] unfortunately there is not much to talk about them [19:59] rather an lexicon-entry with trigger-bombs and vampish bombs introduced and discussed [19:59] Steven's mum is 18 years older than him. If you add the digits of her age, it equals his age. Her birthday is tomorrow. If you add the digital of the age she will be tomorrow, it equals the age of his little sister. [19:59] Hi yoR [19:59] CIA didn't switch to attach whatever executed the dat bomb [19:59] It switched because the opponent had executed a dat and not died and must therefore be a multiprocess warrior better dealt with by a SSD clear [19:59] I think Phil wrote a decent spy bomber? [19:59] Ah yes, you mention it in the log :-) [19:59] Have you been working on anything interesting Roy? (sorts?) [20:02] JM: I made a self-made-up-sort, but it performed very bad (in Java) even worse then insertionsort [20:03] MSG: Ping timeout: 245 seconds [20:09] Join: OoS joined #corewars [20:09] I had an idea for a new sort, but didn't write it down. Now I've forgotten it! :-( [20:09] * OoS is working on Bubble Sort again tonight [20:10] do either of you have spybomber-ideas? [20:11] since they are technically vampirish-warriors, they could be given an airbag, or return of the vamp's style strange hybrid [20:11] but they dont count [20:13] SpybombAirbag would be pretty cool [20:13] But thats kind of hard when you step out of the loop [20:14] ah yes, spybomb-blur, i had a prototype but it scored bad (probably because i somehow always fail miserably when trying to make something blurish) [20:15] JM: Bubble? You had some good bubbles didn't you? [20:15] How fast can you make a spybomber? [20:15] .33c with distbomb, .5c with trigbomb [20:15] There was a spybomb blur on the hill [20:15] There's a decent bubble in my temp directory [20:16] What are distbomb / trigbomb? [20:16] distance bomb: mov.ab #iamhere, trigger [20:17] triggerbomb: dat first used in piltdown, second in CIA [20:18] distance-bomb can probably be sped up like myvamp/steppingstone did [20:23] Maybe distance bomb could be made .5c with the right maths [20:23] like how? [20:24] you mean like mov.ab #iamhere, *anotherbomb? [20:25] The bubble in my temp directory is good on average, but has a worst case slower than a bog standard bubble due to extra housekeeping [20:25] That's one way [20:25] I just tried some stuff for distance bomb in Excel and I couldn't make it work [20:26] (that would prevent use of 'pit-pointer' like vampires use, as in jmp *pitpointer, -blah) [20:30] MSG: Ping timeout: 245 seconds [20:31] Join: OoS joined #corewars [20:34] technically add or sub -bombs could be used with pre-defined trigger-ins to offset possible error brought by relocating pointer [20:35] Why should you use a spybomber.. because its faster then scanning? its basicly the same right (?) [20:35] trigger-ins meaning the trigger-instruction, like dat 0, offsetvalue [20:36] You could drop spybombs and then scan some specific locations.. [20:36] Roy, hit your head on a wall [20:36] if you want to kill papers, sure, use a scanner [20:36] Yes sir [20:36] * yoR boinks [20:37] spybombers are rather like vampires in their practical fighting, but they dont use pit [20:38] they dont score practically, but that doesnt mean that they are not worth spending time on [20:38] Spybombs aren't triggered by decoys [20:39] Ah of course, spybombs are stable...
