Well, the only x-rings I know of are Corona and Springer. I have already posted Springer, so here is Corona. I've also modified Corona for the standard hill (renamed as Nimbus) so I've included that as well. Corona 1.1 is currently KotXH by about 30 points and does very well against leapers. The fighters which it has most problems against are replicators and fighters using standard imps as part of their attack (ie. Edge 1.1, Longworm 1.2 and Trap 6). Against both of these types, Corona tends to tie very often. It loses *very* rarely with W/L/T percentages of about 46/ 7/47! ;redcode-x verbose ;name Corona 1.1 ;author Alex MacAulay ;strategy Creates a 63-point 2-process ring, waits, then sends out a ;strategy core-clear which kills off the ring and the subverted enemy. ;strategy 1.1 - Uses core-clear instead of jumper - better vs replicators. ;kill Corona step equ 127 runup spl 1 spl 1 spl 1 spl 1 spl 1 mov -1,0 spl 1 spl inc spread jmp @spread,#imp inc add #step,spread ; need a dat after this instruction dat 0,0 jstep equ step+4 jprocs equ 48 jbomb equ jptr jfirst equ jptr jlast equ jfrom start spl runup wait djn 0,#104 spl 1 mov -1,0 spl 1 mov
