Metadata

It is possible to include certain information about your warrior within special metadata comments. These comments are recognised by the parser and included in the parsed output (though they are excluded when the parsed warrior is loaded into the core).

The following metadata comments are recognised by the redcode parser

;redcode-94

Indicates that this warrior was written using ICWS’94 standard compliant redcode.

Earlier standards of Corewar did not have a standard way to declare the version of redcode used. The RuMARS parser supports ;redcode and ;redcode-94 comments.

;name

Allows the author to give a name to their warrior, for example ;name imp.

The RuMARS parser will insert a default name comment of ;name Player <N> if no name comment is found in the source redcode.

;author

Specifies the name of the warrior’s author (i.e. you).
