2006-03-08.txt:18:03:02: <fuse> redcode, is it that core wars thingie?
2006-07-22.txt:03:39:05: <thematrixeatsyou> it closer resembles actual core wars
2006-07-22.txt:03:39:14: <GregorR> Yeah, mine isn't actually very much like core wars :-P
2008-08-19.txt:22:05:57: <dogface_> I suddenly wonder if you're doing a Core Wars-like thing.
2008-08-19.txt:22:09:11: <MikeRiley> hmmmmsounds fun.....core wars for befunge!!!
2008-11-03.txt:21:52:21: <jayCampbell> core wars-ish
2008-11-03.txt:21:54:53: <jayCampbell> most esolangs could be given the core wars abstraction layer
2008-11-03.txt:22:25:05: <jayCampbell> it doesn't have to be a direct core war analogy where you pollute the other guy's code
2009-02-05.txt:12:14:59: <ais523> AnMaster: programming language used by Core Wars
2009-03-27.txt:17:30:19: <ehird> impomatic just can't stop writing the same introductory article about core war
2009-05-08.txt:15:23:19: <Deewiant> No, but it's similar to Core Wars.
2009-05-26.txt:16:37:06: <impomatic> The official name of the game is Core War.
2009-12-23.txt:03:30:38: <ehird> The Linux OOM killer: "it's like a big game of core wars on your computer".
2010-02-23.txt:21:37:27: <cpressey> "team number" was for BeGlad, which was supposed to be Core Wars in Befunge
2010-05-06.txt:15:06:19: <phantomhoover> It appears that there is no Core Wars fanfic on the web.
2010-05-06.txt:18:46:03: <Phantom_Hoover> And contains no Core War fanfic, which is appalling.
2010-05-06.txt:18:47:46: <fizzie> Not even erotic Core War fanfics? How strange.
2010-05-06.txt:18:50:37: <Phantom_Hoover> I try to write erotic Core War fanfic here as a joke, but I can never finish the sentences.
2010-05-06.txt:19:15:05: <Phantom_Hoover> I will award one internet to the first person who can write erotic Core War fanfic.
2010-05-08.txt:11:18:18: <alise> 10:47:46 <fizzie> Not even erotic Core War fanfics? How strange.
2010-05-31.txt:14:22:08: <Deewiant> The idea was core wars in befunge
2010-09-21.txt:17:44:27: <alise> It couldn't possibly be Core Wars? :-P
2010-09-21.txt:17:44:45: <ais523> alise: it wasn't a core wars entry, I don't think
2011-02-01.txt:10:41:07: <impomatic> Fizzie: a reference to Core War 6 years before A. K. Dewdney "invented" it :-)
2011-02-08.txt:01:10:47: <elliott> Lymia: you may want to talk to impomatic, he's from the core war world and they do a _lot_ of evolving to great success (really competitive), albeit of assembly programs and I think mostly short ones (really short: like less than 20 instructions)
2011-02-14.txt:05:56:48: <Sgeo> impomatic, o.O at you controlling Core Wars?
2011-02-14.txt:14:56:19: <Sgeo> I am beginning to believe that Core Wars is dead
2011-02-14.txt:15:40:47: <ais523_> I'm far from a Core Wars expert
2011-02-14.txt:16:42:16: <Sgeo> ". BF Joust seemed like it might be a more accessible version of Core Wars, but I see it's much too susceptible to stupid tricks, and there's only one winning strategy (set decoys, race to the right side of the map, methodically zero every cell in order from left to right). The only variation comes in modifying that strategy."
2011-02-14.txt:23:51:02: <elliott> 06:56:19 <Sgeo> I am beginning to believe that Core Wars is dead
2011-02-15.txt:00:51:42: <Sgeo__> I just Googled Core Wars vs VirtualBox
2011-02-17.txt:01:52:20: <elliott> *core war
2011-02-17.txt:01:53:31: <elliott> but core war has like multiple hills and shit
2011-02-17.txt:19:39:32: <elliott> Core War has that 4-or-5-I-forget-instruction nano hill.
2011-02-17.txt:19:44:56: <elliott> nescience: you would be surprised, anyway. as i said, the core war nano hill has a maximum length of 5 instructions
2011-02-17.txt:19:48:10: <tswett> elliott: how many possibilities are there with 5 instructions, in Core Wars?
2011-03-06.txt:23:43:48: <Patashu> but, stuff like fyb and core wars
2011-03-06.txt:23:44:20: <elliott> I firmly believe that BF Joust has the same depth as Core War.
2011-03-21.txt:22:10:33: <impomatic> http://twitpic.com/3nt8eh/full Hilbert Curve bomber  in Core War :-)
2011-08-21.txt:18:38:55: <ais523> Gregor: isn't that the whole concept of Core Wars?
2012-06-20.txt:19:01:06: <john_metcalf> Taneb: my bio :-P "I'm a recreational programmer interested in Core War, Forth, Smalltalk, assembly, programming games & algorithms ? Find me at http://RetroProgramming.com "
2012-06-29.txt:20:07:25: <mroman> bfjoust should be more like core wars.
2012-07-04.txt:02:36:29: <newsham> bf core wars?
2012-07-04.txt:02:37:33: <elliott> newsham: not quite core wars
2013-01-26.txt:16:01:13: <oerjan> does the memory layout of core war fit?  only relative addressing iirc.
2013-01-26.txt:16:01:45: <Taneb> I don't know core war well enough to tell you
2013-02-13.txt:13:33:24: -!- impomatic has quit (Quit: Core War - the ultimate programming game http://corewar.co.uk).
2013-03-01.txt:20:57:31: <impomatic> Hmmm... Core War with time travelling processes http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/martin.bodin/timecorewar.html.en
2013-03-08.txt:12:57:47: <impomatic> The Museum of Modern Art wants to add Core War to it's video game display http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21661690
2013-03-08.txt:12:58:40: <myname> i heard about core war as a child and it sounded awesome
2013-03-08.txt:12:59:14: <Jafet1> Was core wars really a thing
2013-03-08.txt:13:03:44: <myname> okay, more like core war
2013-03-08.txt:13:05:27: <impomatic> Core War is quite active.  There's been 178 successful submissions to the main hill so far this year.  Even more that didn't enter the hill.
2013-03-22.txt:18:36:55: <impomatic> I'm trying to contact a few old Core War players for my history thing :-)
2013-04-05.txt:19:43:20: <impomatic> Someone needs to write a Core War app for Android.  And a decent Forth interpreter.  And a decent personal wiki.
2013-04-09.txt:20:59:04: <impomatic> Actually there's a version of Core War with time traveling processes http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/martin.bodin/timecorewar.html.en
2013-04-24.txt:21:20:58: <FireFly> I found a post that mentions a "Core Wars-like game" called Jintori, in which programs compute in two-dimensional space
2013-06-26.txt:19:10:45: <itsy> AnotherTest: some old Core War stuff which was mentioned on Usenet about 20 years ago!
2013-10-05.txt:13:44:18: <impomatic> I've found another three articles about Core War in old magazines and added them to the list http://www.retroprogramming.com/2011/11/bibliography-of-programming-games.html
2013-10-05.txt:21:27:23: <impomatic> Bike, elliot: They have some negatives from a Core War tournament
2013-10-05.txt:21:28:40: <impomatic> Yes. I have an archive or Core War stuff. Am trying to find as much as possible before it disappears forever.
2013-10-28.txt:21:58:59: <Taneb> FireFly, it's a weird BF game, closer to Core Wars than BFJoust
2013-10-28.txt:22:01:41: <fizzie> "BeGlad (Befunge Gladiators) is more like Core Wars; Programs written in a modified version of Befunge-97 actually attack within Befunge-space itself, trying to force the other program to run out of processes and die."
2013-10-30.txt:13:47:28: <FireFly> I'm just pondering what a core wars-like befunge-based game could look like
2013-10-30.txt:13:49:22: <john_metcalf> I'm not sure about befunge, but there are a couple of 2D programming games. One is similar to Core War http://corewar.co.uk/corelife
