Also question(s):

How many bots can compete per person?
And some bots are over the 30 lines limit or is that OK?
Also if I change one line of my bot and call it my second bot is that allowed?
What does PROTECT do?

There's a limit of 3.

The interpreter cuts off anything past 32 lines

Sure

Read the first post on this topic

Um, PROTECT is supposed to be undone by attempting to set the variable, right?

I have a PROTECT EXECUTION_POINTER (which I assume allows incrementing at the end of each line)
but when I do
SET EXECUTION_POINTER 1
SET EXECUTION_POINTER 1

That is meant to go to the first line (which protects it again), right?

Tell me if this works but I will still test it soon!

Are submissions with less than 32 lines of code allowed? If so, how does the execution behave (looping or NOPs)? What happens when a bot tries to overwrite code after the end of the program?

Side note: my submissions should be coming soon…

Question: Does the red rectangle mean that that bot is the target pf the hack, rather than the hacker?

So if I see

Then A is hacking B

Thanks. I've ran simulations with many submitted bots (including the really good CopyBot, and RunRunRun wins because nothing can attack it since it protects all its code quite quickly. This is because of the low amount of code bunched together, which means that using the RANDOM (required because using DATA would add lines that would reduce the security of the bot). It however is vulnerable to tags, but it cannot be immobilised.

Yours is really good too! I compared it to mine and another, and yours was beating the other one. But not mine because I wouldn't publish a losing program). Your coding is really well done! +1

PROTECT @RANDOM%6+1 and PROTECT EXECUTION_POINTER

If you want it. I don't know if it's any good but it did beat its parent most of the times I tried it. I was just throwing it out there as one more thing to test against.

I may just use some lines but it beat mine?
