Actually, not quite 8) here's how i'd do it:

;redcode-94
;name DwarfBomb (v2)
;author Ben Snitkoff
;stategy Dwarf throwing dwarf
;strategy [PVK] Actually, it's more like a warrior that spawns tons of
stones, since the "main" part isnt a dwarf. Anyway...
;assert 1

        org main

bomb:   DAT #12, #-12           ;You could use antoher stepsize...3044, fe.
dwarf:  ADD bomb, 1		  ; move here from after 'jmp dwarf' (CCB)
        MOV bomb, 6
        JMP dwarf			  ; in most warriors, this would be a djn, but then,
					  ;most warriors also have a spl 0 on the top of the loop... you could
still do it, though

main:   ADD #800-3, $ptr        ; changed to '$' from '@' (CCB) [PVK]
Changed the step so
					  ;the loop rolls perfectly around the core(the ">" change the value of
ptr's b-field too)
        MOV bomb,   >ptr        ; changed to '>' from '@' (CCB)
        MOV bomb+1, >ptr        ; changed 'dwarf' to 'bomb' (CCB)
        MOV bomb+2, >ptr
        MOV bomb+3, >ptr
        SPL <ptr                 ; changed to '-7' from '-6' (CCB)
        JMP main
ptr:    DAT #0, bomb+3           ;Changed so that the original dwarf is
overwritten(under
					   ;the previous build, the main program could have overwritten itself
with a dwarf)
        end


HTH,
 Paul
