This document proposes a completely new standard for the Core Wars, which is not compatible with any existing I.C.W.S. system. A new ``redcode'' language is defined, which supports (among other things) manipulation of a block of many locations with a single instruction, powerful and ductile addressing modes, and complex multitasking features; at the same time, the virtual processor that executes this code is described. We specify also the behaviour that an assembler converting source redcode into object code (executable by the virtual processor) must obey, and the directives it must have. Also, many examples are given, and a major sample program is listed and commented. In other words, this book is for the R.O.M.E.68000 system what the classical articles by A. K. Dewdney in Scientific American were for the Core Wars that you already know (note that you should really have read them before attempting to read this book). For more information, see the Introduction.
