Greetings all,
Many years ago I became famaliar with a pretty cool game called CoreWars. I was never terribly good at it, being a young fellow with little real programming behind me in anything but QuickBASIC, and never really took it anywhere - but the concept always seemed very cool to me.

I'm not even entirely sure what prompted me to think of it the other day, but I suddenly thought 'How about perl CoreWars?', and a week later, so it was... In one form or another.
I've kinda crossed it with a little of a Mac game 'RoboWar', in which you programme little robots to blast each other away, and UNIXed it a bit with processes instead of memory blocks, but its the same basic idea.
It's still a little simplistic, but its got potential - I figured I could see what you guys think of it, and where you think it could go.
Posting the source would be a little untidy, so for all who are interested the JProcWars homepage is up.
Tell me what you think.

JP,
