[00:13] 80% done downloading 'wrath of con' hmm... [02:54] how about origin of species :) [02:56] 80,69165475Do you, do you really believe [02:56] 80,69165475that we were nothing but them monkeys swinging up in the trees? [02:56] 80,69165475Don’t it seem a little likelier that Adam and Eve [02:56] 80,69165475did a lot of humping, and that was the origin of the species? [02:58] and where did Adam and Eve come from? [02:58] pmars adam.red eve.red? [02:59] God of course [02:59] it's a song :P [03:00] making fun of intelligent design [03:00] and stuff [03:01] ...brought by the one true God. It's a fact: anybody else who ever had a God, their God's wack [03:02] We ain't got to worry about 'em, we picked the right horse. [03:02] You're in the right house of worship (of course!)

[18:04] Hi Fizmo :-) [18:04] :-) [18:04] What's new? [18:05] Well, I'm back :-P [18:05] Nice to see you [18:06] Did you make a corewar new years resolution? [18:08] hehehe, yes, I did ;-) [18:08] :-) [18:12] hey fixz [18:15] Hi Bvowk [18:15] I see you've declared yourself a God bvowk :-) [18:22] I said it was just to me. [18:22] Hi bvowk [18:23] a Happy New Year [18:24] happy new year Fizzer. [19:03] Join: NorthStar joined #corewars [19:05] So.. [19:05] whatcha hacking fizster? [19:05] got anything interesting? [19:07] i got five tests, two projects, and eight work-papers scheduled until next friday [19:08] cisco lab-test and theory test tomorrow, and 90 minutes of time to brush up my OSPF [19:08] im not stressted, im only a person who refused to work or to do homework on holidays [19:10] I'm currently attempting to solve a seemingly random series of crashes to a major box in my infrastructure. [19:10] it's not going well. [19:11] bvowk, the switch needs to be on 'more magic' remember ! [19:15] I've tried both positions without success. [19:16] The problem is that I don't really have a good idea what the underlying cause is. I've fixed a couple things that just appear to be symptoms. [19:16] unless you can reproduce something.. it's pretty hard to fix it :( [19:19] Everyone always fails to remember that [19:19] I always used to remind people at work [19:19] Usually I'd tell them if it breaks to leave it exactly as is so I can see what the problem is [19:20] They never would [19:37] it's true. [19:42] FatalC is a corewar Goddess :-) http://twitter.com/alexeld/statuses/1081419534 [19:48] heh [19:52] Odd. I don't see a FatalC in here [19:53] Beginning to feel paranoid! [19:55] FatalC is now known as sf_ghoul [20:03] I miss sf_ghoul [20:06] oh [20:10] she used to hang out here alot. [20:16] why did that change? [20:16] Did you scare her off? :( [20:17] why do you think it was me?! [20:17] Busy I guess, she's still active. [20:18] She might be pissed off about my nano hill attack. [20:18] bvowk, isn't it obvious? :D [20:18] She had quite a pile of warriors on the hill [20:18] See blog and twitter http://sfghoul.blogspot.com and http://twitter.com/fatalc [20:21] blogblogbloglbog [20:48] im a little bit concerned about the beginners hill right now [20:48] it appears that every warrior you submit would get on the hill [20:48] becasue of the number of warriors on the hill and the ages of warriors on the hill [20:49] and i dont wanna submit a bunch of garbage warriors and knock legitimate ones off the hill :< [20:49] but i DO want to submit some warriors ! what a dilemma... [20:49] there are legitimate warriors on b-hill? [20:50] Age 50 is too low. [20:50] (for warriors to be retired) [20:51] actually i agree [20:51] 50 was an ok compromise when the hill was semi-dead, but now theres actual traffic [20:52] On average, a warrior will be retired every other submission. [20:52] Which leaves a gap, so the next warrior gets on. [20:53] It's quite rare for a warrior not to enter the beginner hill [20:53] (on average) [20:53] 100 would be better. Also there's more of a sense of achievement for reaching 100 :-) [20:55] * flyduck tries to remember how to use xargs [20:56] funny fact: Microprocessors project was timed to take 20 hours on average, i believe i could've gotten an average in 2 hours [20:56] time currently taken, 24 hours, and still not finished [20:56] ambitious? kinda [21:01] ls ~/code/redcode/beginner_bench/compiled | xargs exhaust [21:01] :D [21:04] nice. [21:04] it's always good to have more unixy people around. [21:06] xargs is a very nice tool [21:10] hmm.. [21:10] i need an explanation for this [21:11] well, bvowk is only one that couldnt answer, and i wont bother with it [21:12] yesterday i f*ed a CCNA labtest because i couldnt get ping to move ; but now ive made the same thing in packet tracer and it works [21:13] (ive got a mercy-test tomorrow..) [21:21] hmm, pmars says coresize=80 is too small? :/ [21:22] You also need to set length to 5, -l 5 [21:22] i was just about to check nano hill's other specs :) [21:23] You might find this file useful, pmars option files for all current hills http://corewar.co.uk/pmars/pmarsopt.zip [21:24] use pmars -@ nano.opt [21:25] when you specify multiple warriors to pmars it'll do a multi-warrior battle, correct? [21:25] Yes [21:25] Up to 36 warriors I think [21:26] will exhaust do the same thing? [21:26] (well.. 2 warriors is a multi-warrior battle too, if one wants to nitpick) [21:26] exhaust can do multiwarrior [21:26] but can you make it so it doesnt ? [21:27] like if you specify 4 warriors it'll run 6 seperate battles? [21:27] probably not, huh.. [21:27] exhaust doesnt care since its a simulator, not a user interface [21:28] No, if you specify four, all four will run in memory at the same time for 1 battle [21:28] * Fizmo waves [21:28] byebye [21:28] * OoS waves [21:28] MSG: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.5/2008120122] [21:28] yes, but you need a piece of code to set the stuff into memory [21:29] If you want to run 6 seperate one on one battles, you need to run a scheduler which calls pMARS with each pair [21:29] E.g. MTS in the pTools archive http://corewar.co.uk/ptools11.zip [21:30] or a scheduler which calls exhaust with each pair.. [21:37] or a perl script,which i just did :P [21:38] although the output isnt very nice..

[23:52] all it does it replicate itself exactly and jump to the new location [23:53] oh [23:53] yeah, you showed me that one :D [23:53] but now ive managed to make it into 3 lines, and it has a djn train at the end : ) [23:53] nice :D [23:53] so my 5 line program before 4 lines with an added attack :) [23:54] i realized 2 different tricks i could use to shorten it [23:55] instead of a ptr, a mov, djn, and add, and a jump, it's now just mov, djn, jmp :) [23:56] hmmm
