Redcoders Frenzy  

The '88 Win Round

Organiser: John Metcalf

Once again there are 17 entries from 9 authors, this time competing using '88 standard redcode, coresize 8000. To reduce the advantage imp warriors seem to enjoy in the '88 environment, the rules for round 3 differ in two ways from the settings of the '88 standard hill at KotH. In round 3 a tie is not declared until 800000 cycles have passed. Also, a win is worth 6 points instead of the more usual 3. But will this be enough to discorage tie-prone warriors? Each pair of warriors battled for 4000 rounds. 14 hours, 51 minutes and 03 seconds later we have our answer...

Janeczek takes first place with Quicksilver '88 (qscan -> stone/imp) while Wainwright's Return to the Citadel (qscan -> paper/imp) takes second place. Once again Hillis evolves a formidable opponent to claim third. Stone/imps feature again in ranks 4 (Espiritu's) and 6 (Gunnell's). Ford, Thorne and Grabun are next, each with a dat bomber. Finally, we have a .4c vampire with airbag from Moore.
