Project Structure

This project consists of five parts:

• Champion
• Assembler
• Virtual Machine(THE ARENA)
• Visualizer

Project has one developed champion: bot_kompot.s. It is located in the project's root directory.

Assembler is the module of program asm

Virtual Machine + Visualizer are modules of program corewar

Cloning the repo & installation

This repository includes submodule. So if you want to clone it, you can use the following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules <repository url>

To get the executables asm & corewar, simply run make

Usage

asm

Usage: ./asm champion.cor

Corewar

Usage: ./corewar [-v N] [(-d|-dump) N] [--ncurses [--stealth] [--start-in N] [(--venom|--skibidi)]] [-n N champion.cor] <champion1.cor> <...>
	(-d|-dump) N		: dumps memory after N cycles then exits
	--ncurses		: ncurses output mode
				--start-in N	: waits N cycles, then starts the ncurses mode
				--stealth	: hides the real contents of the memory in ncurses mode
				--no-stat	: turn off stat(3rd) window in ncurses mode
				--(venom|skibidi|bigshaq) : playing last chosen sounds in ncurses mode
	-n N champion.cor	: sets the N of the next player
	-v N			: verbosity levels, can be added together to enable several
				- 0	: Show only essentials
				- 1	: Show lives
				- 2	: Show cycles
				- 4	: Show operations (Params are NOT litteral ...)
				- 8	: Show deaths

Visualisation

The best visualizer performance is with iTerm (make sure you've got the latest version).
