When I read the intro, I was like „They want to teach beginners with Corewars? That‘s brave...“
I really like the idea of Corewars (and programmning games in general), but I never managed to get into it because the whole concept of assembly language was too foreign for me. I would have had to invest too much time up front, just understanding the basics.
I loved Robocode, but then that uses Java ;-)
- vrperson 6y agoHave you tried Human Resource Machine?
- pmontra 6y agoI understand the feeling. However you can play some puzzle games that are much more difficult than the assembly of MARS. Furthermore any simple machine language traslates pretty well into a basic version of C: add, sub, pointer operations, bitwise operations, compare a value with zero and possibly move the program counter to a memory location, copy memory from RAM to a register (think of it as a predefined veritable). Everything is an int, maybe a float. All very low level.
