Description:

Core Wars is a simulation game. A number of programs are loaded into a
virtual machine and executed. The programs can to crash each other,
manipulate other programs, overwrite as much memory as they can,
etc... The "best" program is selected according to a scoring mechanism
which involves the number of memory cells the program has overwritten,
the number of other programs it has crashed and whether/when it
crashed.

Two different languages are supported. The one called "Corewars" is
easy to learn. The second language, called "Redcode", is harder to
learn but also more powerful.

Additional polish Core Wars documentation is contained in pmars
package.
