CoreWar "Koenigstuhl" Page

This hill is named after the location of the place where I worked (Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy) until 1997 ('Koenigstuhl' translates to 'King's Chair'). Similar to Planar's Mt.Olympus (last update: 1998-08-31) this is an infinite hill. The difference is that I separated the hill into several categories and I let every program fight every other program:

88 ('88 instruction set) - KotH: Lithobolia C yvfp by Steve Gunnell: TOP-50: Top 50 of the 88-Koenigstuhl - KotH: Into the Unknown by John Metcalf; KotH (Battle Royale): Torment by John Metcalf
94nop ('94 instruction set, no Pspace, no '88 programs) - KotH: Hullab3loo by Roy van Rijn: TOP-50: Top 50 of the 94nop-Koenigstuhl - KotH: Hullab3loo by Roy van Rijn; KotH (Battle Royale): pdQscan by P.Kline
Pspace (Pspace-only) - KotH: Sunset by David Moore: TOP-50: Top 50 of the Pspace-Koenigstuhl - KotH: Sunset by David Moore; KotH (Battle Royale): Self-Modifying Code v0.11 by Ben Ford

ICWS/64 (CORESIZE==8192 && MAXPROCESSES==64): KotH: Twimp by Monika Keindl
ICWS (CORESIZE==8192 && MAXPROCESSES==8000): KotH: Eye of the Storm T by John Metcalf; KotH (Battle Royale): Ice Dragon by John Metcalf

Limited Process (MAXPROCESSES==8 && MAXLEN==200): KotH: R.O.U.S. by S.Fernandes; KotH (Battle Royale): R.O.U.S. by S.Fernandes
X (CORESIZE==55440 && MAXLEN==200 && MAXCYC==500000): KotH: Fatamorgana X by Zul Nadzri
Tiny (CORESIZE==800 && MAXLEN==20 && MAXCYC==8000): KotH: dfd94f0-408f53a4-b1f60e08.rc by bvowk; KotH (Battle Royale): Dimachaerus 3 by inversed
Nano (CORESIZE==80 && MAXLEN==5 && MAXCYC==800): KotH: [RS] Nextratulated Sturvinator 2 by inversed; KotH (Battle Royale): Another MEVO Thing by Terry Newton
Odd Hill (non-competitive, special tournament rule sets)

'88 hill(s): "-8 -r 1000" (648 entries: 88.tar.gz)

Recursive 88-Koenigstuhl -- Battle Royale 88-Koenigstuhl

Re-run with "-P" (all permutations) for the top-200 and "-r 1000" for all weaker warriors.

The score on the "Royale" hill is sampled at the iteration when the warrior was in the last position.

I also switched to pmars-0.9.4 and a 32-bit (little endian) score table (was 16-bit and pmars-0.9.2).

88-TOP-50 Hill, "-8 -P", '88 rules (15602 rounds)

Any program that reaches rank-50 or higher on the '88-Koenigstuhl will also enter the TOP-50 Koenigstuhl. Programs that fall below rank-50 on both ('88 and TOP-50) hills will be removed from the TOP-50 Koenigstuhl.

Recursive Pspace-Koenigstuhl -- Battle Royale Pspace-Koenigstuhl

Note: "-P" (randomizing all possible starting positions) will not make the battles reproducible, because the order of the fights makes a difference with P-space.

Recursive X-Koenigstuhl

I switched to pmars-0.9.4 and a 32-bit (little endian) score table (was 16-bit and pmars-0.9.2).

Please note that I did not create a Battle Royale hill, since running all permutations (-P switch) on the 'X' hill would take quite some time; maybe later ...

Hill for all programs that do not fit any other hill (eg. special tournament rounds or non-competitive programs).

Flat (un-weighted) scores of the Odd-hill.

If you cannot find your program(s) here, please send your program to birk AT carnegiescience DOT edu with a subject line like 'Koenigstuhl entry'. Please note that the Koenigstuhl is an "archive" hill, ie. published programs only. If you would like to see how your program would do on the Koenigstuhl before you publish it, please download the appropriate hill and run your program against it.
