DESCRIPTION
       Core Wars is a simulation game. A number of programs are loaded into a
       virtual machine and executed. The programs can to crash each other,
       manipulate other programs, overwrite as much memory as they can, etc...
       The "best" program is selected according to a scoring mechanism which
       involves the number of memory cells the program has overwritten, the
       number of other programs it has crashed and whether/when it crashed.
       Two different languages are supported. The one called Corewars is easy
       to learn and described in the README file. The second language, called
       Redcode, is harder to learn but also more powerful.

       Use corewars-cmd --help to get a list of supported command line
