CORE WAR TOURNAMENT ANOUNCEMENT
Inversed has announced the Nano Core War Challenge, with a first prize of $100. Entries will be scored against the Nash equilibrium, and a new equilibrium will be calculated.
What is Core War?
Core War is a programming game which challenges players to write a program in an assembly-like language called Redcode. Programs compete by trying to eliminate all opponents in a shared, simulated memory called the core. The last program standing wins the round.
What is Nano Core War?
Nano Core War is a compact Core War environment with a memory size of 80 and a max program length of 5. It encourages efficient code, supports diverse strategies, and is ideal for experimenting with genetic algorithms.
Full details are available on the tournament website and in the newsgroup rec.games.corewar

Interesting scoring, but consistent with kind of non-transitive success that core wars programs have.
