Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mars Version : not sure Upstream Author : not sure * URL : http://corewar.co.uk/mars.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War * License : not sure Programming Lang: C Description : Memory Array Redcode Simulator
A while back there was a package in Debian called "corewars", where assembly programs battled to control an VM's memory. It looks like it was removed because it depends on GTK1 (not GTK2). I was interested to actually get around to trying it, but I'm not quite interested enough to bother compiling / packaging it myself. It looks like there is a reference simulator posted on usenet, written in C, and a bunch of different simulators that were subsequently derived from or inspired by the reference implementation. I haven't investigated which one should be packaged, or if any are DSFG-licensed. If none are, I guess this ticket can be updated to reflect that and at least it'll be in wnpp-check next time I remember corewars. The above links include a list of implementations. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
