  Some things I thought could be effective: bombing with mov 2,2667, which
could make the ring overrun itself.  Or, instead of gating at the end, launch
a mov 0,2 on a ring trails (about same effect).  Somehow, I feel that ring are
the ultimate defensive action: one instruction programs that crawl and auto-
repair.  But I believe the original design of the game specified an unknown
core size.  Of course, using random core size would make the hill very friendly
to cmp scanners and papers.  Maybe a x-hill with random core-size would stir
creativity.
