User Reviews

  • Highly recommended. pMARS is a fast command-line Redcode simulator which works well on Windows, Linux, and OSX. It supports the extended draft CWS'94 standard. Unfortunately, it can be a little tricky to compile. The latest release (0.9.4, 04/07/2022) is available at corewar.co.uk/pmars.htm and koth.org/pmars/ - is it possible to sync it to SourceForge?
  • ohh... thanks guys for a classic core wars ! compiled and works perfectly :)
  • The software isn't really core wars so it's got the false advertising thing going for it, but I guess since it doesn't work it's all good.
