And what the corrected version is? Can you please send it to the newsgroup with a short description. The version on www.corewar.info is a bit enigmatic.
Anyway I think 21th RF Round was weird enough to treat it as a pure fun, not a real competition. And when you are having fun, it can't be waste of time, right? ;]

It is not a waste of time!

Regarding the corrected version of the program, I have to leave it to
the experts. Like any other games, rules have their advantages and
disadvantages. As long as all players agreed, everyone will have some
fun.

Actually I meant a waste of your (valuable) time. 🙂

Description:

I tried to optimise the scanning loop and core clear
but ran out of time before I could finish the pit so ALL
my optimising went to waste. :-(

My program scans the whole core for anything with
both fields zero and bombs around it with
jmp #0, #0 (just in case the b-field gets modified ;-)
after it has scanned the entire core it starts a vampire
coreclear (capturing the ball and the enemy). The
captured processes scan linearly for the enemy goal
and the process that finds it bombs it, eventually the
ball will bomb it.
