Variants
- CoreWars 8086 implements a game very similar to the original Core War. Instead of using the customized instruction set of Redcode, CoreWars 8086 warrior programs are written in 8086 assembly language.
- Tierra is an adaptation of Core War, written by Thomas S. Ray (an early member of the ICWS), used in the modeling of living systems.
- Avida is a further derivative of Core War, building upon Tierra, and abstracting further the processes of evolution. Avida, created by Christoph Adami, Charles Ofria, and Titus Brown, is used in scientific research about evolution.
- Feralcore, a networked Core War with an underlying virtual machine based on the Motorola 68000 and Macsbug-like interface.
