BADGE WARS

==========

*Assembly language meets Battlebots*

------------------------------------

Two warriors enter the arena. These warriors are not flesh and blood, they are

made out of a series of instructions written in a language called Redcode.

It's a battle of bits to the death! Only one will survive. The winner will go on

to be king of the core.

BadgeWars is an implementation of [CoreWars](http://www.corewars.org), but a

minified version intended for use on microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are

everywhere nowadays, and one of the most interesting places they're showing

up are on conference badges, specifically badges at [Defcon](http://defcon.org).

BadgeWars aims to provide a distributed CoreWars ecosystem where each badge

has a "king of the core" (KOTC). Badges communicate over mesh wireless, 

exchanging KOTCs with each other. If a newcomer manages to outlive the badge's

current KOTC, it becomes the KOTC and can start replicating to other nearby

badges, at least as long as it remains KOTC.
