I had heard of it before but had never seen it. It is rather interesting and I am trying to learn more about redcode. So far I have tried combining imp and dwarf I got a program good at surviving but not good at killing. I wanted it to go forward as a normal imp but also split and throw dat bombs behind me as I go forward. Please explain to me how to code this stuff. I have no experience in assembly. What follows is the program that I sort of put together. ;redcode ;name orc ;author Timothy Echeandia ;strategy Well I am rather new to corewar so I tried combining imp ;and dwarf. You get a more deadly imp an thereby the name orc. I am ;running corewars the X11 version and it survived against xtc. I think ;that this warrior more survives and ties than kills off. Right now ;killing off is giving me problems. orc mov orc, orc+1 bomb dat #0, #0 bomber add #-4, bomb mov bomb, @bomb jmp bomber end orc
