Hi everybody,

Yesterday I have finished many changes for yace, my corewar - evolver.
At the moment I have problems uploading it to the homepage
http://martinus.awhs.at, so if you want to have yace, please send me a
mail! (it's about 110 kb zipped)


The main changes:

o I have added project files for MS Visual C++ 5.0, and an executable
for everyone who can't compile yace. I have also successfully compiled
yace under linux (you may get many many warnings, which can be
ignored...)

o evolving with a hill added! now yace creates a hill as at
www.koth.org. It also creates a html-file in the koth-directory, where
you can have a look at the warriors (looks very interesting I think :-)

o yace can be stopped by deleting the file 'del2stop'

o many other things I have forgotten...


The koth-module seems to be very usefull, but I didn't have much time to
test it. Here is one cool warrior it created:

end 0


This is the first scanner I have ever evolved. It is not a very good
warrior, but looks promising :-)
