Article 1650 of rec.games.corewar: From: gt7804b@prism.gatech.EDU (Wayne Edward Sheppard) Newsgroups: rec.games.corewar Subject: Another scanner Message-ID: <86155@hydra.gatech.EDU> Date: 23 Feb 93 08:11:19 GMT Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology Lines: 39 Here is an interesting cmp-scanner that has two coreclears! he two coreclears are needed against impspirals. After a small (compared to Charon 8.1) scanning time, the core is blanketed with spl 0. The offset for this coreclear is 381. 381=8001/(7*3) is the optimal coreclear for 3 and 7 point rings. This should write over the ring completely. Now all it has to do is a dat coreclear. I was able to get it down to 14 lines, and all of the major bugs are out. But it doesn't look like the double coreclear is worth the extra lines. ;redcode ;strategy Basic spl/jmp cmp scanner ;strategy with TWO coreclears ;strategy first coreclear spl 0 at offset of 381=8001/(7*3) ;strategy second coreclear dat 0 ;strategy Problem : Two lines larger that Charon 8 add off,1 loc cmp 1,50 slt #20,-1 djn -3,<1499 mov j,@loc dec mov s,
