Yes, there aren't only stone/imp on the big hill! My first campire, The Missionary, was fairly successful, so I followed up and did The Count, which was even better, and finally Virus. Virus is a Mod-3.5 vampire, meaning that there are gaps of 3 or 2 untouched locations, but never more. The pit is a standard pit, with the added feature that at the end of the fang-planting run, the pit is neatly surrounded by fangs that jump back into it, in case for some strange reason the pit overflows. After the bombing run, a core-clear is started, and the pit is wiped out last. Also, the core-clear becomes a perfect gate, because imps have been known to rise from the dead. There's a large decoy at the end, just for fun. ;redcode-94x ;name Virus ;author Jay Han ;strategy Vampire ;macro start equ 20 step equ 23 n equ 16873 org bite gate equ head-step loop add.x head ,fang bite mov.i fang ,@fang ptr djn.b loop ,#n-1 head spl.b #step ,<-step kill mov.i bomb ,
