@xcorewar What discussion has occurred respecting memory architecture? One problem I found with Core War is a lack of horizon; two dimensional memory might also help. How might the instruction set be modified to support these two concepts?

🏆 Congratulations to Inversed and Dave Hillis, who claimed first and second place in the Nano Core War Challenge with Reptiloid Supremacy, Reptiloid Conspiracy, and Smitten Atrocity. https://t.co/scXa77PHwl #corewar

Here's a 3D MDS map of the top 100 warriors from the 88 Koenigstuhl. Each point represents a warrior. The closer a point is to another point, the closer the warriors' scores are. #corewar

Here's a multidimensional scaling map of the 88-Koenigstuhl top 100. #corewar

Here's a multidimensional scaling map of the 94-Koenigstuhl top 100. #corewar

🥇 Stasis Prime and Mountain Viper have entered the top-50 of the 88-Koenigstuhl in first and second place. Congrats to inversed

The Color Robot Battle page has been updated with the tournament results and the robot code

Robots faced each other for 20 rounds running at 100x the original CPU speed for a maximum possible score of 360. Congratulations to AlchemicRaker and Fractality on their incredible scores, and thanks to everyone who entered 🙂
