| Portable MARS is the official Core War simulator of the ICWS and the
rec.games.corewar
newsgroup. pMARS serves as a test bed for new Redcode standards
and tournament styles. It has also been used in genetic algorithm experiments
and as an assembly language teaching aid. pMARS is under active
development by a group of Core War enthusiasts who put a lot of time into
this project. Please take the time to fill out the questionaire at the
end of the README file and return it.
If you are going to be running pMARS on a DOS or Windows machine, don't forget to download pSHELL also, it's incredibly helpful. |
