Redcode

Redcode is a specialized programming language used in a computer game called Core War, where programs (called warriors) compete by running in a shared memory space. Each warrior is written in Redcode, which resembles assembly language, allowing precise control over instructions and memory. The goal is to outmaneuver or eliminate the opponent’s program by executing tactical moves within this simulated environment. Redcode enables players to craft strategic, low-level code that interacts directly with the game’s virtual machine, making it a unique mix of programming, game theory, and competitive problem-solving.
