Hello everyone.  I bet you all are wondering how a scanner-replicator
works.  First of all, it is not doing both at the same time.  It scans
until it finds something.  That gets bombed thoroughly.  Now it switches
to a replicator.

This allows me to have a small target area for other scanners.  But
against bombers and imps, it doesn't take too long before I turn
into a replicator.  Yhis allows me to kill most bombers and tie the
imps.

There is a lot of room for improvement.  For example you could use
CMP scanning in the main scanning loop to find something quicker.


Here's the code:

;redcode verbose
;name PLASMA 4
;author Wayne Sheppard
;strategy Scanner-Replicator
;strategy Better killing Process
;kill PLASMA
bomb      equ start-1    ;this should point to dat 0 , 0
start     add #3039,loc  ;best increment size
loc       jmz start,-1
          cmp #-1,@loc   ;don't look at DJN trails
          slt #100,loc   ;program length
          jmp start
          mov bomb,@loc  ;bomb whatever I found
          cmp <loc,bomb  ;is next location dat 0,0
          jmp -2         ;bomb more of program
