2005-05-03.txt:02:57:28: <GregorR> Does anybody want to try out my combination of BrainFuck and CoreWars?  Essentially, you have two BrainFuckish programs running concurrently, and their data space is the opponent's program space.
2005-05-04.txt:07:14:25: <GregorR> It's a combination of BrainFuck and CoreWars.
2005-05-04.txt:07:15:11: <calamari> haha cool idea.. corewars is an oldie but goodie
2005-05-10.txt:06:05:46: <calamari> oh thats right.. you did the corewars thing :)
2005-05-10.txt:06:08:26: <calamari> nope.. I was never good at corewars.  I meant to play it, but ended up playing C-Robots instead (they were on the same shareware floppy)
2005-05-18.txt:20:35:15: <fizzie> I don't think I've had more than 14 consecutive )s, but I haven't written anything very big in scheme. A corewars interpreter/environment/thing once.
2005-05-18.txt:20:36:08: <pgimeno> corewars interpreter? uhm, too big a prog for me to write in that thing, I'm no so masochists
2005-05-18.txt:20:39:31: <fizzie> Well, it was for the course, not a voluntary thing. The list of possible topics mostly included various small games, corewars sounded most interesting of them. (Compared to a spreadsheet application or graph algorithm visualization.)
2005-05-30.txt:20:36:16: <jix> you know the corewar hills ?
2005-06-03.txt:04:31:51: <graue_> RedCode may be but CoreWars isn't
2005-09-15.txt:03:03:54: <wildhalcyon> a braintwist corewars simulation would be cool, but Im not sure how they would fare in a genetic organism sense.
2005-10-28.txt:04:31:49: <duerig> Now all we need is some form of corewars. Where bots try to get other bots to execute inimical programs.
2005-10-28.txt:04:32:06: <lament> duerig: i was thinking of actually having something like corewars here
2005-10-28.txt:04:32:27: <lament> but corewars itself would likely not be too popular
2006-03-08.txt:18:03:09: <SimonRC> Redcode is the machine-like language used for CoreWars, and the evolved warriors beat some hand-coded ones in a tournament!
2006-05-03.txt:21:52:36: <GregorR-W> Brainfuck meets corewars
2006-07-22.txt:03:38:48: <thematrixeatsyou> well i came up with a BF corewars but it's pretty shitty
2006-07-22.txt:03:39:32: <GregorR> I started wanting to go with very corewars-like, but discovered it just didn't work...
2006-08-02.txt:22:43:21: <RodgerTheGreat> has anyone here ever played corewars?
2006-10-22.txt:23:10:14: <RodgerTheGreat> ah, yes- corewar's painfully deformed cousing- FYB.
2006-10-29.txt:18:02:06: <RodgerTheGreat> kinda halfway between RoboWar and CoreWar
2006-10-29.txt:18:05:03: <RodgerTheGreat> pikhq: familiar with CoreWar?
2006-10-29.txt:18:44:04: * pikhq plays with Corewars for a bit
2007-01-18.txt:02:06:32: <CakeProphet> like corewars... but less competitive.
2007-01-18.txt:02:07:17: <oklopol> i've not yet seen the real strategy in corewars, but i must've gotten something wrong, never played
2007-06-20.txt:01:02:11: <RodgerTheGreat> pikhq: could you *try* to explain that redcode IS the language used in corewars?
2007-07-14.txt:05:05:32: <RodgerTheGreat> I've played RoboWar for the mac and Corewar. Similar?
2007-07-17.txt:07:20:40: <GreaseMonkey> fyb is like corewars-meets-rainfuck
2007-07-17.txt:07:21:06: <immibis> how can you have corewars in brainfuck, which can't modify its own code
2007-10-21.txt:18:42:01: <ehird`> RodgerTheGreat: that's a corewars-alike right?
2008-08-12.txt:18:42:37: <fizzie> ITYM corewars; that's the program-overwriting game.
2008-08-12.txt:18:42:45: <asiekierka> i like corewars
2008-08-12.txt:18:44:53: <Deewiant> I was just thinking of corewars in befunge a while ago
2008-11-03.txt:22:49:51: <oklopol> anyway wasn't BeYourFunge ehird's corewards on befunge?
2008-11-07.txt:02:22:27: <jayCampbell> hadn't seen fyb when i suggested brainfuck corewars
2009-01-25.txt:14:48:57: <impomatic> Anyone want to implement Redcode++? http://corewar.co.uk/opcodes.htm
2009-01-25.txt:17:34:50: <ais523> impomatic: probably not very useful for actual CoreWars games, but it's always nice to have esolang-in-esolang implementations
2009-01-27.txt:18:40:41: <impomatic> There's a redcode specific IRC channel, #corewars on irc.koth.org
2009-01-27.txt:22:19:42: <impomatic> We're also talking about bf in #corewars on irc.koth.org
2009-01-27.txt:22:20:38: <lamente> nice, corewars
2009-01-27.txt:22:21:43: * ehird tries to work out impomatic's name in #corewars
2009-01-29.txt:13:14:11: <impomatic> Corewar will be 25 years old later this year :-)
2009-01-30.txt:19:06:48: <lament> impomatic: you play corewars?
2009-01-30.txt:19:07:31: <ehird> he said he's played corewars since 1993 IIRC
2009-01-30.txt:19:09:37: <impomatic> It's fun, but slow at the moment. There's a history at http://corewar.co.uk/history.htm which give brief details of what's happened each year
2009-01-30.txt:19:11:49: <impomatic> There are several irregular newsletters too, http://corewar.co.uk/journals.htm
2009-01-30.txt:22:24:22: <impomatic> Has anyone got any really old corewar stuff?  I'm building a big online archive
2009-01-30.txt:22:26:56: <Deewiant> impomatic: I might, somewhere, but I think it's all from corewar.co.uk anyway
2009-01-30.txt:22:27:21: <impomatic> Deewiant, I should have all of the corewar.co.uk stuff! :-)
2009-01-30.txt:23:11:39: <impomatic> While we're talking comics, http://corewar.co.uk/cwcomics.txt
2009-01-30.txt:23:14:44: <oklopol> basically you've gotten me to desperately want to try both corewars and code golfing.
2009-01-31.txt:15:42:26: <impomatic> X-Scale: I think I've seen you in #corewars ;-)
2009-01-31.txt:16:06:26: <X-Scale> #corewars ftw
2009-02-05.txt:10:20:41: <impomatic> It's at http://corewar.co.uk/assembly/underload.htm
2009-02-05.txt:12:16:16: <ais523> AnMaster: http://vyznev.net/corewar/guide.html is a good guide, if you haven't seen it before
2009-02-05.txt:12:55:56: <impomatic> There's some kind of Corewar game which uses a function language. Called struggle I think
2009-02-05.txt:12:56:36: <ais523> there was a BF-based game inspired by Corewars running on Agora for a while, and it's just starting back up again I think
2009-02-06.txt:20:21:31: <bsmntbombdood> i see you people have been playing brainfuck-corewars
2009-02-07.txt:15:23:09: <ehird> ... It occurs to me I'm sitting in #corewars and haven't ever played corewars.
2009-02-13.txt:17:46:09: <impomatic> I guess I'm interested because I'm an actual corewar player
2009-02-13.txt:17:49:13: <ais523> for instance, in CoreWars the opponent's at a random location
2009-02-14.txt:17:08:09: <ehird> btw, I discussed an OISC corewar with impomatic
2009-02-14.txt:17:08:40: <ais523> OISC corewar, I love it
2009-02-14.txt:17:09:56: <ais523> what about a MiniMAX corewar?
2009-02-14.txt:22:02:06: <ehird> #corewars maybe?
2009-02-14.txt:22:02:35: <Ortez> yes i have been on #corewars
2009-02-26.txt:14:15:20: <impomatic> I thought I'd include it here with an explanation of how it works http://corewar.co.uk/assembly/underload.htm
2009-03-05.txt:17:09:13: <ehird> the main page is in the style of corewar.co.uk, and his name is on it
2009-03-05.txt:18:33:33: * impomatic wonders why the corewar subreddit has been banned :-(
2009-03-05.txt:18:35:09: <impomatic> http://www.reddit.com/r/corewar/
2009-03-05.txt:18:36:19: <ais523> why was corewar reddit banned, anyway/
2009-03-08.txt:20:42:44: <ehird> also, has this corewar prorgam been made? I call it the "Imp-O-Matic" (hur hur)
2009-03-08.txt:20:43:58: <ais523> corewar isn't about surviving, it's about winning
2009-04-11.txt:00:13:51: <impomatic> I considered making a PCG based on Corewar, but I could figure out decent mechanics without losing the spirit of Corewar
2009-04-18.txt:21:59:23: <impomatic> Corewar's DJN instruction. DJN A,B  will subtract 1 from memory location B and jump to A if the result at location B is non-zero
2009-05-04.txt:12:42:26: <impomatic> The #corewars channel will be moving to freenode if anyone is interested.
2009-05-05.txt:21:06:55: <impomatic> Hi, just a quick question. How does this channel get logged? We want to log the #corewars channel
2009-05-05.txt:21:48:29: <impomatic> Has anyone played with Corelife? It's a 2D version of corewar
2009-05-08.txt:18:01:51: <impomatic> Have some info about CoreLife now, the second 2 dimensional programming language: http://corewar.co.uk/corelife/
2009-05-16.txt:16:12:20: <impomatic> I've prepared mirrors for all of the Geocities Corewar sites. Now I'm working on the sites for some other programming games.
2009-05-23.txt:16:55:52: <seanstickle> Back in the day, I dabbled in Corewar, and this seemed interesting to me
2009-05-23.txt:21:56:29: <coppro> then go play corewar
2009-05-23.txt:21:56:52: <ais523> corewar, or BF joust?
2009-05-23.txt:21:58:58: <coppro> corewar!
2009-05-24.txt:19:57:03: <ehird> in the corewar instruction set?
2009-05-24.txt:20:21:08: <ehird> impomatic: since you're a corewar/bfjoust person... any idea how a Haskell warring-programs game would work? I can't think of a way to harness the purely-functionality :-P
2009-05-24.txt:20:33:09: <ais523> although it wouldn't work much like corewar or BF Joust
2009-05-26.txt:15:49:53: <Patashu> are there any 'program vs program' languages besides corewar, fukyourbrane and BF joust?
2009-05-26.txt:15:50:08: <ais523> Patashu: quite a few, I think; but only corewar is really popular
2009-05-26.txt:16:02:41: <impomatic> There are a few which don't involve robots, but most of the ones I've looked at are similar to Corewar
2009-05-26.txt:16:22:31: <ais523> impomatic: corewar question: how effective is using SPL 0, rather than a goto, to create a loop?
2009-05-26.txt:16:36:21: <impomatic> By the way, the #corewars channel has moved to freenode :-)
2009-05-26.txt:16:36:31: <ais523> so, is it corewar or corewars?
2009-05-26.txt:16:37:36: <impomatic> Corewar is more common though.
2009-05-26.txt:21:15:07: <AnMaster> No thanks. I'm not really interested in corewars or similar things
2009-05-27.txt:01:28:38: <nescience> do like corewars stuff and queue up the entries, who cares about instant results!
2009-05-27.txt:03:32:41: <nescience> the hill should have an "age" parameter ala corewars hills
2009-05-27.txt:22:24:12: <AnMaster> Corewars - UN Edition
2009-05-28.txt:14:48:35: <Patashu> heard of corewars?
2009-05-28.txt:14:48:45: <leonid_> dunno about corewars
2009-05-28.txt:16:52:40: <AnMaster> (which isn't a good name for it probably, but I can't think of anything better for stuff like corewars, bf joust and so on)
2009-05-29.txt:07:08:39: <myndzi> sorta like some of the corewars events
2009-05-29.txt:07:09:03: <myndzi> there've been corewars tournaments held where somebody came up with a unique idea/twist
2009-05-29.txt:07:09:51: <myndzi> there's a lot more spamming the hill with multiple slight changes going on here than it seems happens with corewars
2009-05-29.txt:08:04:06: <myndzi> anyway, my nick's been registered for some time but i didn't really come to this network until #corewars did
2009-06-01.txt:09:49:03: <ais523> people who never really got into corewar, for instance
2009-06-04.txt:19:29:14: <ais523> impomatic: it was loosely inspired by corewar, I think
2009-08-30.txt:20:16:50: <impomatic> mov.i #1,1 is an imp in Corewar
2009-12-19.txt:23:19:50: <Guest50560> is corewar.co.uk loading for you
2009-12-19.txt:23:26:58: <soupdragon> is corewar fun?
2010-03-02.txt:07:29:21: <dev_squid> Is CoreWar still around?
2010-03-12.txt:21:32:29: <lament> Sgeo: i can see that working in CoreWars
2010-05-15.txt:13:54:53: <impomatic> Does this Aleph-null look okay? See bottom of page, reference 1 - http://corewar.co.uk/darwin
2010-05-21.txt:22:21:17: <impomatic> Does anyone recognise this language? It looks like odd Pascal to me: http://corewar.co.uk/droid/droidsrc.txt
2010-05-23.txt:13:03:42: <Phantom_Hoover> (I'm totally going for CoreWars.)
2010-05-31.txt:12:02:14: <AnMaster> Deewiant, relet: weren't beglad supposed to be something like corewars?
2010-07-12.txt:23:54:57: <ais523> competitive multitasking would be along the lines of CoreWars
2010-08-26.txt:18:22:36: <Phantom_Hoover_> I am still bitter that there does not exist CoreWars fanfic.
2010-08-31.txt:21:38:18: <Phantom_Hoover> This is getting near that CoreWars fanfic I want written.
2010-08-31.txt:21:39:44: <alise> Phantom_Hoover: CoreWars slash!
2010-09-28.txt:16:10:09: <ais523> I suppose if people had a large enough area, and they were far enough apart, it could work a bit like corewars
2011-01-14.txt:18:27:29: <impomatic> Oerjan: was it about corewar, programming games or recursion?
2011-01-20.txt:15:22:54: <elliott> Anyway removing IO and adding commands is the approach of FukYorBrane, the premier CoreWars clone for brainfuck (indeed, the only one :P)
2011-01-21.txt:18:14:09: <elliott> 05.05.02:18:57:28 <GregorR> Does anybody want to try out my combination of BrainFuck and CoreWars?  Essentially, you have two BrainFuckish programs running concurrently, and their data space is the opponent's program space.
2011-01-21.txt:22:59:15: <elliott> realtime corewars
2011-01-23.txt:04:06:15: <elliott> j-invariant: you know games like corewars?
2011-02-01.txt:02:15:05: <Lymia> That program is basicly the FYB version of a CoreWars core clear.
2011-02-01.txt:02:45:10: <Lymia> It's not like corewars in that respect.
2011-02-01.txt:02:54:10: <kfr> Corewars and such are too dry for my taste
2011-02-07.txt:05:19:15: <myndzi> not as robust as like, corewars
2011-02-07.txt:05:21:55: <quintopia> so you'd rather corewars
2011-02-07.txt:05:21:56: <Lymia> Corewars has the SPL instruction.
2011-02-07.txt:05:26:43: <Lymia> quintopia, sounds kinda like CoreWars.
2011-02-07.txt:05:34:25: <myndzi> which i learned about from impomatic in #corewars
2011-02-07.txt:05:37:25: <myndzi> corewars hills run way more than that, and isn't there an infinite corewars hill?
2011-02-07.txt:05:38:26: <myndzi> i guess the biggest difference is that corewars players uhh.. spend a lot of time on one submission and enter it
2011-02-07.txt:05:49:19: <Lymia> Would work better in FYB or CoreWars.
2011-02-09.txt:02:07:56: <myndzi> anyway, i don't know; there isn't anything like pspace in corewars
2011-02-09.txt:20:39:20: <impomatic> Maybe it could be in magazine format like http://corewar.co.uk/nw/nw03.txt :-)
2011-02-11.txt:21:22:17: <impomatic> ais523: it's the same in Corewar
2011-02-12.txt:20:23:45: <impomatic> !bfjoust firefly http://corewar.co.uk/2.txt
2011-02-12.txt:20:28:36: <impomatic> !bfjoust moonshine http://corewar.co.uk/2.txt
2011-02-12.txt:20:32:09: <impomatic> !bfjoust moonshine http://corewar.co.uk/2.txt
2011-02-14.txt:01:08:42: <quintopia> Gregor: one of these days bf joust is going to be more popular than JESUS. also corewars.
2011-02-14.txt:01:09:52: <elliott> quintopia: I don't think bf joust has the same vibe as corewars
2011-02-14.txt:01:10:07: <elliott> like the 4-instruction nano hill corewar has
2011-02-14.txt:01:10:09: <Gregor> FYB was designed to have the same vibe as corewars *shrugs*
2011-02-14.txt:05:55:06: <impomatic> !bfjoust moonbeam http://corewar.co.uk/2.txt
2011-02-14.txt:05:58:58: <impomatic> Sgeo: only corewar.co.uk but I have a top secret evil plan that involves taking over the others!
2011-02-14.txt:06:02:25: <impomatic> No official site.  The main sites are http://corewar.co.uk http://corewar.info http://koth.org http://users.obs.carnegiescience.edu/birk/COREWAR/koenigstuhl.html and http://sal.math.ualberta.ca

2011-02-14.txt:15:09:26: <Gregor> BF Joust is better than corewars :P
2011-02-17.txt:01:52:14: <quintopia> it's easier than corewars
2011-02-17.txt:19:35:02: <nescience> and closer to corewars' integrate and recombine attitude :P
2011-03-01.txt:18:59:52: <impomatic> Gregor: http://corewar.co.uk/assembly/forth.htm
2011-03-04.txt:20:56:21: <impomatic> Like on the corewar hills http://sal.math.ualberta.ca/hill.php?key=tiny
2011-03-19.txt:19:45:12: <impomatic> The bot that logs #corewars seems to have been down for a while.
2011-03-22.txt:17:22:09: <Gregor> impomatic: glogbot is public-access, so if you want a logger in #corewars then just ask the appropriate person to /invite it.
2011-03-22.txt:18:05:37: <Gregor> impomatic: Good thing you got a new logbot in #corewars, since clearly the place is hoppin' ;)
2011-03-28.txt:16:29:54: <Phantom_Hoover> Corewars?
2011-03-31.txt:14:46:13: <impomatic> Oh well.  There's some slightly crazy Corewar Fanfic here http://annesophiecc.tumblr.com/post/4190311225/v8-fb-corewar (in French)
2011-06-24.txt:10:55:27: <CakeProphet>  corewars is a fairly interesting thing.
2011-06-25.txt:22:48:24: <CakeProphet> I think bfjoust could be a bit more interesting if it had a fork command, similar to corewars SPT
2011-06-25.txt:22:52:59: <ais523> unlike in corewars, where splitting is definitely an advantage
2011-06-25.txt:22:59:51: <ais523> so we're talking about a hypothetical version of BF Joust with corewars-style threading
2011-07-10.txt:18:44:04: <Madk> it was more similar to corewar than anything else
2011-07-20.txt:07:05:54: <atehwa> It seems to me that enthusiasm on CoreWars is declining, too.
