SGB_09.net CORE WARS Steve's Guide for Beginners Iss 9 (v2) Issue 6 provided an outline of the instruction set and addressing modes. Issue 7 looked at one (inefficient) way of copying blocks of code/data around. Issue 8 looked at another variation of copying and at the SPL command. ====== This issue is a bit of a cheat really, but since they are pseudo-notes of my wanderings through the core war world, I reckon its valid. ====== Study Steven Morrell's "My First Corwar Book" chapters 1 (Imp-Rings) and 2 (Stones). These are very clear and well explained - The only problem is that chapters on other types are not available. ====== Using SPL to do copies: Refer to Beppe's hints on Replicators in "Core Warrior" #1, #3. ====== Other info in Core Warrior is also very useful. There is more there than is quickly readable.
