virtual machine arena program and others
Core War is a 1984 programming game created by D. G. Jones and A. K. Dewdney in which two or more battle programs (called "warriors") compete for control of a virtual computer. These battle programs are written in an abstract assembly language called Redcode.

This is the arena where cores fight against each other, The last player receiving a life through the live instruction (opcode 0x1) wins the game
./corewar [-c] [-dump nb] [-a] [-n nb] [-v] [-w ip host] <core1.cor> [core2.cor][core3.cor][core4.cor]
- -v : graphic mode
- -w ip host : connect to the server
- -c : color mode
- -dump nb : Dumps memory after nb cycles then exits
- -n nb : Attributes number nb to next player
- -a : prints output of each aff instructions
This is the program compiling the .s to its matching .cor binary
./asm <sourcefile.s>
This program disassemble the .cor to its matching .s assembly file
./decompiler [-l] <core1.cor>
- -l : try to generates labels when references can be deducted
This program stores .cor's inside its pseudo database and has its own corewar arena It attributes a rank to each one of them considering their wins and defeats.
When launching the corewar program with -w IP Port to that server, one can download and upload .cor's from and to the server, as well as looking at their given scores.
- compute number of victories of all cores in the server database
- for each core A: for each .cor B that A wins against, add to the score of A the number of victories of B + 1
./scorewar
