Description : Memory Array Redcode Simulator
A while back there was a package in Debian called "corewars", where
assembly programs battled to control an VM's memory. It looks like it
was removed because it depends on GTK1 (not GTK2).
I was interested to actually get around to trying it, but I'm not
quite interested enough to bother compiling / packaging it myself. It
looks like there is a reference simulator posted on usenet, written in
C, and a bunch of different simulators that were subsequently derived
from or inspired by the reference implementation.
I haven't investigated which one should be packaged, or if any are
DSFG-licensed. If none are, I guess this ticket can be updated to
reflect that and at least it'll be in wnpp-check next time I remember
corewars. The above links include a list of implementations.
