IRC Mini Tournament #09 - Sunday 27 April 2003
The 9th Sunday tournament takes place in a 2520 cell core, with
each battle being a multi-warrior fight between three warriors.
The only permitted addressing modes are <, {, } and >.
Altogether, eight authors enter a total of twelve warriors, making 220
combinations. Christian Schmidt's evolved warriors claim the first two
places with a very impressive lead. If either your browser or yourself
doesn't like tables, the results are also available in
results.txt. To download all of the compo warriors in one go, just
grab irct09.zip (9K).

[metcalf] Hi bvowk, we've already started
[bvowk] Hello :)
[Philb] Hello bvowk of 94x :-)
[Fizmo] First entry on the way, John
[Philb] First on way.
[metcalf] Time is about up, but if anyone is still working (most of you I
think) an extension is allowed (if everyone agrees)
[sascha] Entry on the way..
[sascha] No Brain for a second, John you really must hate us!
[metcalf] Oh, I though it sounded fairly easy :-)
[metcalf] Everyone could surely make a 2 line clear!
[Fizmo] phew.... a 20-liner and a 26-liner :>
[Fizmo] cooling my finger now in ice water....... ;-)
[sascha] Puhh, hardest round so far!
[bvowk] ok, I tossed in one entry..
[Philb] Got lost again - I'm done [1 entry for me]
[metcalf] Okay, Philb (1), Fizmo (2), Sascha (1+1 on way), Will (1), Simon
Logreader (1)
[Fizmo] I had just one stupid idea but don't know how good it is, because I
optimized it just against previous versions of it
[Roy] Is it time already!?!?!
* Roy is sending!!
[Mizcu] finally got something ready..
[metcalf] Okay, time will be called in 4 minutes, after than, no more entries!
[Roy] and john, this was NOT less stress, and I didn't make good warriors :'(
[Mizcu] these have habit of going towards worse even if we try something
simpler?
[sascha] Any invalid Warriors?
[metcalf] You should have stuck to single process warriors, you can make a
bomber or scissors. Also, paper is possible
[Roy] I tried a paper, but I didn't get it to work. the problem is the spl
@0 again :)
[Philb] Hey no-one told me to use single process ;-)
[metcalf] Okay, all done?
[Roy] Roy(2) then i'm done :)
[metcalf] Okay, closed, about to run :-)
[Roy] I'm curious about the names I got :-P
[sascha] curious for the results, hard but nice round!
[metcalf] Results are now online, phew
[metcalf] Congratulations, Dave Hillis would be proud :-)
[Fizmo] 8->
[sascha] Hey, Place four is O.K, Place two under the handmade Warriors is
very good. Hey Fiz trying to be an evolver
[Fizmo] thx. The only idea I had
[Philb] Well done Fizmo, uh everyone!
[metcalf] Christian Schmidt wins with 100%, also 2nd with 87.3%
[metcalf] 3rd is Bvowk with the first hand-written warrior, and 52.0%
[willvarfa] congrats Fizmo!!!
[metcalf] 30 minute evolved warriors have double the points of the best
hand-written warrior, amazing!
[Fizmo] Well, I took an already evolved warrior and tweaked it a bit to
conform to the rules, and added some more lines
[Roy] Nice Chris :)
[Fizmo] thx
[metcalf] Looks like a paper :-)
[bvowk] Anyways, I've got to be going. Thanks for the contest, Thanks for the
