🔥 Corewar: The Battle of Code

Corewar is a programming game where players write programs, called warriors, that battle for control of a simulated computer memory called the core. The game is a test of logic, strategy, and low-level programming skill.

🧠 How It Works

• Language: Warriors are written in an assembly-like language called Redcode (this version uses a pseudo-redcode language).
• Simulator: The game runs in a virtual machine that follows the rules of the MARS (Memory Array Redcode Simulator).
• Goal: Each warrior tries to:
  • Survive longest in the memory.
  • Crash or disable the opponent's code.
  • Take over the memory by replicating or overwriting other programs.

💻 Game Mechanics

• The core memory is a circular array where each cell can contain a Redcode instruction.
• Multiple warriors are loaded into different parts of the core.
• Warriors execute instructions based on their 'cooldown'.
• If a warrior runs out of processes, it dies.
• The last warrior running wins.
