What was the challenge? [07:39] 90 minutes of short programming problems, 60 minutes of math, and another 60 of long problems [07:39] things like shorten this string by removing repeat characters [07:40] or maximum removable nodes in a graph so there is still a path from a to b [07:50] That last one sounds tricky [08:03] Find the shortest path between the two nodes, remove a node, if there is no path, add it back in and remove a different one [08:24] Join: Davse_Bam joined #corewars [08:28] Hi Davse [08:29] Hi Metcalf [08:35] Are you working on anything interesting? [08:37] hmm [08:38] no not at the moment. I was planning to write a MARS in java, which should have some of the same possibilities as CoreWin, but im not very good at keeping up the speed at getting the projekt done :-) but i got a subset of ICWS94 implemented [08:40] what about you? [08:43] I'm not very good at completing stuff I start either [08:45] I'm working on nanoWarrior issue 3, a few web things and an implementation of heapsort in redcode [08:49] cool :-) [08:50] what is nanoWarrior? [09:08] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [09:29] Davese_Bam: http://corewar.co.uk/nw - a newsletter about the nano corewar hill [09:37] Join: CoreOld joined #corewars [10:03] ok sound interresting :-) [10:04] but is a nanohill just a normal hill with the contrains as core size 80, 800 cycles sze 5? [10:04] is there also a lesser instruction set? [10:05] instruction set is same [10:05] although there isnt much use for p-space instructions [10:06] no.. i could see that :-) [11:39] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [12:32] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [14:59] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [15:28] is it possible to make a pre increment? [15:30] No. [15:30] Predecrement and postincrement only. [15:31] ok [15:31] tahnk you [15:32] Join: my007ms joined #corewars [15:32] hello all [15:39] any one there ? [15:41] yes :-) [15:41] sorry [15:41] hi [15:41] hi Davse_Bam [15:46] Hi my007ms [15:46] hi Metcalf [15:47] Metcalf can you help pleas ? [15:47] is this game help me study assembly ? [15:50] it is only a subset of assembly [15:51] if you want to study assembly then I would suggest to read some books about it. Maybe use freedos in a virtual box, then you will have a nice clean access to the memory [15:52] so Redcode is not assembly [15:53] it is a form of assmbly. What are you planning to use assembly for? [15:54] i need to learn assembly for security proposes [15:55] so i learn assembly main for dissembler :) [15:58] hmm then i will suggest you to get a compiler, which can compile to bin and asm [15:58] from c [15:58] or learn assembly from the bottom, by using a book or something :-) [15:59] but try to make a simple C program, like hello world and disammble it [15:59] :( was hope i enjoy learning with the game :) [16:03] he :-) well you can properly learn some basic structure and some ways of thinking i guess [16:04] i will give it try :) i like the idea much [16:04] i learn it by programming 8051 microprocessers [16:04] is it played over network ? [16:10] 8051? [16:10] that is a cpu from intel [16:12] yes i know [16:13] Corewar is normally played by email [16:13] You write your program, email it to the server, then it's automatically played against the opponents on the hill. [16:16] Join: sh0ne joined #corewars [16:16] and how i know the result ? [16:16] hi [16:16] where i can see other while thy play ? [16:17] Hi sh0ne [16:17] my007ms: the server sends you an email with the scores. Also, you can check the scores online [16:19] Here's one of the hills - http://sal.math.ualberta.ca/hill.php?key=nano [16:19] is there pdf format form this link http://corewar.co.uk/karonen/guide.htm [16:19] A hill is limited to a certain number of entries. New entries push off the weakest program [16:19] Alternatively, there are infinite hills.
