	––– Executing instructions since 2020 –––

Status: Preparing for evaluations...

This project is a replica of the computer game Core War, launched in 1984.

In this project our assignment was:

• Do a assembler to compile custom assembler code (AKA. Champions) to bytecode.
• Do a VM to execute instructions and oversee the game.
• Do our own Champion.

The Team

• Niklas Pimenoff
• Samuli Eronen
• Oskari Rantanen
• Gerhard Molin

The Game

The last player to stay alive wins!

The VM

Execute instructions :))

Assembler

Compile custom assembly code (Redcode)

How to Makefile

Build all
$ make
Build asm (Assembler)
$ make asm
Build corewar (VM)
$ make corewar
Clean .o files and clutter
$ make clean
Clean all
$ make fclean

How to run

How to run VM

$ ./corewar champion_file.cor ... <champion_file_4.cor>

Corewar can handle 1 to 4 champions at a time.

Additional options for VM:

• -lldfix: Reference corewar's lld only reads 2 bytes, and this flag fixes that bug.
• -dump <cycle>: Dump memory to stdout 32 octets / line and exit the game.
• -prettydump <cycle>: Dump memory to stdout 64 octets / line fancier and exit the game.
• -n <nb> champion_file_2.cor: Override champion execution order by giving a champion a custom number.

How to run ASM

$ ./asm champion_file.s
