Corewar-JS

Project Goals

• To create a web based redcode parser and Memory Array Redcode Simulator (MARS)
• Use node.js to reuse client code on the server. A client side runtime allows for users to test their warriors, and server side runtime to run verified competitons.
• Use the Ajax.org Code Editor (ACE) formerly known as bespin.
• Use canvas to create live (but replayable) visualization
• Allow advanced debugging and provide easy to understand error messages
• Provide ELO rankings for warriers and/or coders.
• Provide platform for coders to discuss their core war related activities and communicate with other community members.
• Provide easy access to core war tutorials and references
• Provide introductory core war walk through

Development Goals

• Literate programming
• Extensive Unit Testing
• Continuous integration and staging server allowing full access to all contributers
