Core War

A programming game where players write Redcode programs to battle in a virtual computer memory, also used for genetic programming experiments.

Core War is a programming game where players write programs in Redcode, a low-level assembly-like language, to eliminate opponents in the memory of a virtual computer. It serves as a platform for experimenting with genetic programming and AI. The game targets developers and hobbyists interested in programming challenges and algorithmic competition. It is positioned as a community-driven, open-source project with a long history and active tournaments.
