TITLE
cw - Core Ware with visual display
INTENDED ENVIRONMENT
UNIX
TESTED ENVIRONMENTS
BSD 4.2 VAX 11/750
DESCRIPTION
Cw is the "Core War" game system. There are three programs in
this system, "rcasm" the assembler, "unrc" the disassembler, and
"mars" the simulator. By default the simulator runs in visual
mode (representing the memory array with a box of periods ('.')),
but can be run in non-visual mode where you have the option to
print each instruction as it is executed.
This program is entirely new and has not been posted previously.
NOTES
Cw uses curses, lex, yacc and bitfields. If your system does
not have virtual memory, some of the sizes defined in "cw.h"
will have to be changed. There is no equivalent of a "fork"
instruction in this implementation, but "mars" can run more
than two programs at once.
CHALLENGE
Lets have a net-wide battle where those participating post
their best redcode program to net.sources.games. Winners are
invited to boast on net.games.
