My name is Lukasz Adamowski and I'm from Poland. I'm interesting in Core War for several years (maybe 5, I don't remember). I have wrote some warriors, but most of them is rather not very good. The most interesting warrior I wrote is named The Shortest Worm, because I think it is really the shortest. It's not very good warrior, but I think its' structure is interesting. Here it is: LENGTH equ 4 WHERE equ 100 start mov #LENGTH, $0 mov <-1, <(WHERE+LENGTH-1) jmn $-1, $-2 jmp @(WHERE+LENGTH-3) end start It's nice, isn't it? Short, fast, universal, with potential possibility to attack (i.e. LENGTH>4, some kind of bomber between jmn and jmp...). I have written many warriors base on this one, but I'm affraid they weren't good oponents on KOTH. I don't know well, what the paper is, because I haven't met with that name earlier. As I can see it's the kind of warrior I used to name the worm. Am I right? Is Gemini a paper? Thank you. Lukasz (Luke)
