The Quickscanner Hill

Archived from groups: rec.games.corewar (More info?)

Hi,

as you might have noticed I'm working on some texts about quickscanners
at the moment. While preparing the next part I've had a little idea. Why
not make a infinite hill for quickscanners? Now there is one at:

http://corewars.jgutzeit.de/quicks [...] ex.en.html

All you have to do is to use the following paper and append a good
quickscanner and send it to the hill. You warrior will fight a more or
less randomly selected set of warrior using "pmars -P". The exact rules
can be found at

http://corewars.jgutzeit.de/quicks [...] es.en.html

ATTENTION! The source of your warrior will be published on the page the
moment it enters the hill. If you want to keep your quickscanner-
knowledge a secret, don't submit your warriors.

Since my computer is quite slow, especially when running "pmars -P", it
might take a some time before you get the results, i.e. 2 or 3 days.

Good luck!
