=== building ===
|
|
|
|
In order to compile this, you will need GNU Make, GCC, GNU LD, pkg-config, Open MPI, and gtkmm 4.
|
|
|
|
On Debian, you can install all of these with
|
|
apt install make gcc binutils pkg-config openmpi-bin libgtkmm-4.0-dev
|
|
|
|
On macOS with Homebrew, you can install all of these with
|
|
brew install make gcc binutils pkg-config open-mpi gtkmm4
|
|
|
|
Then, to build all of the software, just run make.
|
|

|
=== core war standard ===
|
|
|
|
lib94 attempts to follow the draft standard at <https://corewar.co.uk/standards/icws94.txt>, minus P-space. There are no read/write
|
|
limits (or if you prefer, they are the same as the core size). The minimum separation is always 0, and the core size is set at 8000.
|
|
To change the core size, change LIB94_CORE_SIZE in include/lib94/lib94.hpp, run make clean, and then run make. The maximum number of
|
|
processes is set at 16000. To change that, change LIB94_MAX_PROCESSES in include/lib94/lib94.hpp, run make clean, and then run make.

=== bench ===
|
|
|
|
The "bench" program (short for test bench) is intended for testing out warriors and seeing exactly what they do. It allows you to
|
|
single step, or run at a variety of rates. It has a large display which shows core reads/writes/executions as they happen, and a
|
|
listing of all of the instructions in the core. It also shows "alive" warriors, their instruction pointer for the next step, and
|
|
how many processes they have.
|
|
|
|
To open bench, just run bin/bench after building as above.
|
|
|
|
=== tabulator ===
|
|
|
|
The "tabulator" program runs every possible pairing of warriors from a selection against each other with every possible separation
|
|
and turn order, and then shows the number of wins of each warrior against each other warrior in a table format. The column header
|
|
is the winner, and the row header is the loser. This program uses MPI to run this across multiple processes.
|
|
|
|
To run all of the included warriors against each other, run
|
|
mpirun bin/tabulator warriors/*.red
|
