Philip Kendall - The Complete Redcode/Core War Resources List
The aim of this page is to provide a complete list of all the Redcode
and Core War resources available on the Internet. If you know of something
which isn't mentioned here, please tell
me.
For the best of the Core War sites out here (IMHO), see my links page.
- Ilmari Karonen's Beginner's Guide to Redcode
is an excellent introduction for new players.
- The Core War FTP
Site has a large collection of MARS simulators, documents and warriors.
It is rather out of date, and can be slow, so it now has mirrors in France
and the USA.
- Philip Kendall's
Core War Page
has a few bits, including this resource list, the Core Warrior
index and the results of the Redcode Maniacs Tournament.
- Terry Newton's Core War Page
has pMARS available for download, as well as some
information on evolving warriors via genetic algorithms.
- Damien 'Planar' Doligez's
Core War Page is a
vast archive containing almost every warrior and newsletter ever published,
and also Mount Olympus, a giant hill where every warrior fights
every other.
- A.K. Dewdney (the father of Core War) has his home page at the
University of Western Ontario, Canada.
- Marco Pontello's Extra Redcode
Kit features "an assembler, disassembler, MARS and Tournament
MARS. All ICWS'86 compliant. The Tournament can dynamically spawn
between various machines in a LAN, for faster execution". Mostly in
Italian.
- Fechner's FTP site
has a selection of stuff for download, including pMARS.
- Nándor Sieben's Home Page
has a version of pMARS which will run with graphics under
Win95.
- Ian Oversby's Autumn '98 Tournament
- guess!
- Phil Knight
has some Core War related programs on his page.
- Christoph Birk's
Königstuhl
is an attempt to fight all warriors against each other, and has been
recently updated, despite what this list used to say.
- The Pizza Core War Server
is the home of the '94 Draft Hill and the Beginner's Hill, as well as
the less-used Low Process and Tiny Hills. Also available are some of
the Redcode documents, for example Steven Morrell's Book.
- rec.games.corewar is the Usenet
newsgroup devoted to Core War and Redcode.
- The rec.games.corewar FAQ.
Fairly self-explanatory, I think.
- The Stormking Core War Server
has the '88, Large and Multiwarrior Hills, as well as a lot of useful
information, including the rec.games.corewar FAQ, and pMARS for
download.
- Scott Manley's
Warrior Benchmark Page
is an attempt to fight every warrior against a fixed set of warriors.
Not updated for over a year.
