What you're describing just isn't what this game called "radiation hardening" is. It would be a different, also interesting game.
But "radiation hardening" challenges are common in code golf, and always (from challenges I've seen) framed in terms of character mutation.
Also I suspect some unconscious bias based on your username :P
- tomxor 3y agoAh, I wasn't aware it was the name of a common code golf challenge, I do code golfing myself but apparently not enough :) I guess it makes sense people would frame the game that way, arbitrary bit flips seems way too hard, I'm not even sure it's possible for a program to cope on it's own.
- cubefox 3y agoTo be fair, "radiation" suggests only bit flips.
- dEnigma 3y agoSo by "character mutation" you mean the deletion of characters? Because to my ears that term still sounds like bit flips, i.e. changing characters.

- tedunangst 3y ago> This tag is for challenges which require answers to still work when a random edit to the source code is made. What if my random edit is to add a character?
- jonahx 3y agoPossible -- depends on the rules of the specific challenge. Most of the time it's edits, deletes, or some combination. Sometimes the score depends on how many edits your code can withstand.
