I'm still interested in the idea of having a "baby" hill. We talked about it a few months ago, but nothing was ever done. Think we could convince the wonderful people at pizza or stormking (or maybe wastedyouth) to set it up for us? It is little enough that it really should not put too much load on the server. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, here are the stats: ICWS'94 Tiny Hill Specs: (Accessed with ";redcode-t", available at "?????") hillsize: 20 warriors rounds: 100 coresize: 800 max. processes: 800 duration: after 8,000 cycles, a tie is declared. max. entry length: 10 minimum distance: 10 instruction set: extended ICWS '94 Draft Some of you will probably think that this is pretty weak, but to me it looks like fun. I even wrote a p-warrior just for this hill... ;name Tiny-P ;author harleyQ2 ;stategy jackbrained p-warrior _RES equ 0 ;here pmars loads results _STR equ 1 ;here I store my strategy res ldp.ab _RES, #0 ;load result last match str ldp.a _STR, str1 ;load strategy in use sne.ab #0, res ;check result, win or tie OK lost add.a #1, str1 ;lost change mod.a #2, str1 ;secure jump win stp.ab str1, _STR ;save strategy str1 jmp @0, imp dat 0, stream imp mov imp, imp+1 stream djn.f #100, <-11 ..okay, maybe a 20 instruction limit would be better... joshua harleyQ2
