   We use core wars to teach our postgraduate students about
   machine code programming.  This year, we're thinking of
   setting the memory bound to 10000, so that arithmetic is
   easier.  Has anyone any views on this?

Wouldn't an even power of two, like 8192, make more sense?
Not that CW supports any bitwise boolean operations, but just
to relate it to standard memory sizes in computers.
