This the CodeWar simulator, a game for programmers.

CodeWar is essentially a simulation engine which allows multiple processes
to compete simultaneously within the same virtual environment. This
in turn provides programmers with the facilities to compete against one
another by seeing who can write the program which exists the longest
within this environment. Unlike other simulators such as CRobots, the
competing robots are real native programs and may thus be written in any
language.

Less formally, CodeWar allows programmers to create programs (robots)
which can compete against one another using a variety of
armaments (cannons, missiles, etc.) by executing them at the same time
and communicating with the CodeWar simulator. Robots have the ability to
detect these other robots and make up their own strategies to outsmart
other programmers' code.

CodeWar is open source freeware. It was written by Rhett and James Jacobs
of Amigan Software.
