- When does the archive at Soda get updated for this newsgroup? I am in
- the process of updating my warrior library and will be collecting all
- of the warriors ever posted to this newsgroup. The last archive put
- at Soda was in March. Who is in charge of this archive and when will
- it get updated next?
-
- When I finish with my warrior library, I will be sure to announce it
- and place it out on FTP. It will be compatible with IBM PC's (this means
- that I will have to truncate some filenames) and will all be very
- organized. I think I will have them sorted as follows:
- rec.games.corewar posting, valentine tournament, some of my own,
- various years of ICWS tournaments (all separated by year), and
- finally the traditional warriors (dwarf, imp, etc).
-
- My intention is to make these warriors easily accessable to my impending
- release of the next version of Core Wars Deluxe. The new version will
- allow you to specify a list of paths (in a config file even) that will
- guarentee you that if it could not find the given warrior in the current
- directory, then it will search your warrior patch and use the first
- warrior it finds that matches what you supplied on the command line.
- This will make it easier to sort your warriors when developing new ones
- to test against the vast arsenal of what you have already collected.
-
- Incedentally... there will be about 200 warriors in this collection.
- They will all be unmodified from the original posting. The ones I
- have collected from other sources will be left unmodified by me, but
- I cannot guarentee that they weren't modfied before I got them to
- begin with.
-
- If you would like to add *your* warriors to this library, just send
- Email to me and we will discuss them. Send mail to sadkins@ohiou.edu.
-
- Thanks.
- Scott
