Making warriors that hop around like frogs, bomb like crazy, or breed like rabbits, right? And you're wondering to yourself <i>"Have I made the best Corewar program ever?"</i>... or maybe you're wondering <i>"Have I made ANYTHING that doesn't suck?"</i></p> <p>Well, I've got the cure for what ails ya'! Or, at least a step in a new direction. This is a collection of reasonably well-balanced warriors. Now, granted, it may be tilted a little too far in the paper direction for more experienced players, but it seemed reasonable, since most newbies have more trouble killing papers.</p> <p>And, what's MORE, it includes a nifty at-a-glance batch file and Qbasic file that I fixed up from stuff I stole from Steve Bailey. Incidentally, the Qbasic file needs Qbasic.exe, which is a standard file from MS-DOS, and is on the Win95 CD under \other\oldmsdos.</p> <ul> <li><a href="bench.zip">Download</a> the Wilkie benchmark in one ZIP file!</li> </ul> <p>If you want it in pieces, download each of the following :</p> <p>Support files :</p> <ul> <li><a href="process.bas">process.bas</a> , <a href="koth.bat">koth.bat</a>, <a href="fight.bat">fight.bat</a> </ul> <p>The papers :</p> <ul> <li><a href="time.red">TimeScape (1.0)</a>, <a href="comments.htm#TimeScape">comments</a> <li><a href="nobody.red">nobody special</a>, <a href="comments.htm#nobody">comments</a> <li><a href="paperone.red">Paperone</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Paperone">comments</a> <li><a href="marcia13.red">Marcia Trionfale 1.3</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Marcia">comments</a> </ul> <p>The stones :</p> <ul> <li><a href="bluefunk.red">Blue Funk 3</a>, <a href="comments.htm#BlueFunk">comments</a> <li><a href="cannon.red">Cannonade</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Cannonade">comments</a> <li><a href="tornado.red">Tornado</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Tornado">comments</a> <li><a href="fstorm.red">Fire Storm v1.1</a>, <a href="comments.htm#FireStorm">comments</a> </ul> <p>The scissors :</p> <ul> <li><a href="rave.red">Rave</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Rave">comments</a> <li><a href="irongate.red">Iron Gate</a>, <a href="comments.htm#IronGate">comments</a> <li><a href="pswing.red">Porch Swing</a>, <a href="comments.htm#PorchSwing">comments</a> <li><a href="thermite.red">Thermite 1.0</a>, <a href="comments.htm#Thermite">comments</a> </ul> </div> <div id="footer"> <p>All content on this and all other KOTH.org web pages is copyright KOTH.org, 1995-2022.
