I don't think anyone really cares.  Why don't you guys take it back to
private e-mail.  You're both schumcks for handling yourselves this way.
No one person can claim their piece of code for themselves, I'd thought
you would all know this by now.  I wrote something like the imp ring a
long time ago and even mentioned it here, but are you going to give ME
credit for it?  And could I care less?

I think one of the nice things about corewar was that it is something like
an evolutionary process with the programmers more as stimuli for the
continuing of the corewar warrior evolution nothing more.

Besides it's extremely easy to re-write someone else's program without
knowing what the code looks like, even unintentionally.  I developed
PitTrap completely on my own but it turned out that scissors88 by Scott
Nelson had already been doing basically the same thing long before.

So chill out and enjoy the games...  (Wish I could say the same for
myself, but I've been so busy at work that I've had no real time to spend
on the game in months, c'est la vie...)
