core wars
(jargon) | Core Wars
n.
A game between assembler programs in a machine or machine simulator, where
the objective is to kill your opponent's program by overwriting it.
Popularized in the 1980s by A. K. Dewdney's column in Scientific American
magazine, but described in Software Practice And Experience a decade
earlier. The game was actually devised and played by Victor Vyssotsky,
Robert Morris Sr., and Doug McIlroy in the early 1960s (Dennis Ritchie is
sometimes incorrectly cited as a co-author, but was not involved). Their
original game was called ‘Darwin’ and ran on a IBM 7090 at Bell Labs. See {
core}. For information on the modern game, do a web search for the
‘rec.games.corewar FAQ’ or surf to the King Of The Hill site.
