Redcode
An assembly language designed specifically for the Core War game, featuring a minimal instruction set and running on the MARS virtual machine. Its niche nature means that LLM training corpora contain very limited examples of Redcode, resulting in poor zero-shot generation performance by language models.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Core War is a programming game in which players write programs in an assembly language called Redcode and pit them against each other in a shared virtual memory, with the winner being the one whose program causes the opponent's program to crash.
In Redcode, a thread terminates immediately upon executing a DAT instruction.
LLMs perform extremely poorly at directly generating valid Redcode code in a zero-shot manner, because there is almost no relevant content in their training data.
