Battle #1...  Kline vs Macrae.

;name Round5.2000
;author P.Kline
;simple pspacer

Kline submitted a p^3 with HeScans and a one-shot->dclear.

;name RotF Copy
;author Robert Macrae q^4 -> silkish/imp after David Moore / Ben Ford
;Endless agonising, and I came back to the first version.
;Oh well, at least I learned to code a P^3, though it
;never quite beat this 8-/

On the surface you might expect HeScans to win out, but
Macrae stuck in one of those ever-popular anti-HSA wimps.
Good thinking Macrae.  Dclear and HSA never had a chance.

Battle #2... Paulsson vs Moore

;name myMooreKiller
;author Magnus Paulsson
;Moore improved my warrior myBlur into a realy good warior
;would be a fitting way to thank him by beating him here!
;Thinking, Moore has written nice p-space warriors, some
;switch after two losses or ties. So I write my first
;p-space warrior that use mini-HSA, two losses->two rounds
;of Jed Imp (hoping that Moore will switch).
;The only problem is the small logical inconsistency that
;there is no reason to switch on ties since we're not
;fighting a hill!
;Testing gives losses to most wariors but .... :-)

Paulsson submitted a p^3 (I guess it's technically a p^3)
with some really weird state assignments, hehe.

;name G2
;author David Moore
;two-shot scanner

Moore submitted what I think is a one-shot scanner, which
he called a two-shot scanner.  Odd. :)  Close battles...
that little G2 program was cagey...

Battle #3...  Ford vs Janeczek

;name Self-Modifying Code
;author Ben Ford
;p^3++: silk, rock, scan, burn, wipe
;heavily based on Recycled Bits by David Moore
;improved the brain with ideas from the P^3 switcher
;saved 15 instructions and 1 cycle in brains + tables
;v0.11 more constants tweaked and more instructions shaved
;      and anti-combatra measure added
;nothing else seems to want to fall into place
;so going with this and will see what happens

;name Quicksilver
;author Michal Janeczek
;Q^4 -> stone/imp

Janeczek submitted the only imp/stone of Round 5!
Amazing!  I know that's what I would've used... :)

Quicksilver by Michal Janeczek scores 348
Self-Modifying Code by Ben Ford scores 210
Results: 102 56 42

Quicksilver by Michal Janeczek scores 328
Self-Modifying Code by Ben Ford scores 229
Results: 95 62 43

Janeczek's imp/stone appeared to have
decent core coverage and resistance to all
of Ford's p^3 components.

Victor: Janeczek

Battle #4... Schmidt vs Liporati

;name 2 Crazy
;author Christian Schmidt
;scanner and stone/paper
;for the KOFACOTO quarterfinal

p^3 with an old version of Mirage, combined
with a classic looking stone/paper...

;name Stolen RedCode
;author Leonardo H. Liporati
;p^3++: silk, rock, scan, burn
;based on Self-Modifing Code by Ben Ford
;changed the silk by the one in Origami Harquebus by MJ Pihlaja
;changed the scanner by a mini-HSA
;deleted the wipe component removing three states and
;changing two transitions of the state machine

another p^3... man everyone loves p^3's... hehe... :)

2 Crazy by Christian Schmidt scores 309
Stolen RedCode by Leonardo H. Liporati scores 243
Results: 87 65 48

2 Crazy by Christian Schmidt scores 308
Stolen RedCode by Leonardo H. Liporati scores 242
Results: 86 64 50

2 Crazy by Christian Schmidt scores 327
Stolen RedCode by Leonardo H. Liporati scores 216
Results: 90 53 57

Both warriors had components that could beat the
others... looks like 2 Crazy did better because
Stolen's p^3 spent too much time in its two stone
components.

Victor: Schmidt

the 4 survivors will face off as follows:

Janeczek vs Schmidt
