This was a bit confusing for me. Is this a simplified Core War[0]?<p>[0] <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War</a>

I love the idea! I never got too seriously into Core War but I remember discovering it as a high school student and getting exposed to assembly programming. I think that the "natural" language that this game uses is quite intuitive and the whole game is a great way to get started with assembly.<p>However, I do find the UI quite unintuitive at certain points. Especially when I wrote a program, I couldn't figure out how to run it in the local training assembly.

Website has gone down.

Slightly unrelated, but does anyone know what font is being used on the website? "Dos" is the only reference to it in the CSS stylesheet but I can't seem to find it online.

Heh, my program that just copies the current instruction to +1 wasn't allowed on the board, fair enough I guess :D

If you click "Let's take a peek", you can never get back to the front page. That's kinda annoying.

I guess worms are still allowed as long as they are more than a single instruction, right?

I feel like not being able to treat data as code and code as data limits the strategy a lot.<p>You can't read what code is in a cell, you can only read and write data. So you can't do self-modifying code, beyond blindly copying an existing code cell somewhere else.
