exMARS combines the latest advance in corewar simulation technology, with
|
|
proactive performance optimizations.
|
|
|
|
Actually exMARS is a redcode simulator, just like exhaust and pMARS. In fact,
|
|
I have shamelessly taken sourcecode from pMARS, exhaust, some ideas from
|
|
qMars, a shot of optimizations, shook everything well, and garnished
|
|
everything with a high level interface for Ruby.
|
|
|
|
The resulting program has the following main features:
|
|
|
|
* Uses the parser from pMARS, so no previous parsing is neccessary. At first
|
|
this was my main motivation for exMARS.
|
|
* Speed: 50% faster than pmars on a Pentium III, and often more than twice as
|
|
fast than pmars on a Pentium 4 (using gcc 3.3.1, and the same compiler
|
|
options).
|
|
* Rewritten the code in a more object oriented way, which allows different
|
|
Mars at the same time in the same program, it should also be thread save.
|
|
* To get Ruby interface you can install games/ruby-exmars port.
