TINY BENCHMARK 2004
-------------------

The 25 warriors assembled here form the tiny benchmark - a carefully
balanced selection of opponents for tiny-redcoders to test and optimize
their tiny warriors against.

Included for convenience are Dos batch files which use MTS to schedule
benchmarking (documented below) and the benchmark results for all tiny
warriors published to date (xxxxxxxx.res)

The benchmark warriors are:

BATCH BENCHMARK
---------------

This program will battle all files without an extension in the current
directory against a benchmark.  The benchmark warriors should be in the
current directory with the extension *.RED.  Stefan Strack's MTS is
required.  Filenames should be no longer than 8 characters.

If you wish to change the parameters for pMars, edit TESTXXXX.BAT. To
keep track of which files have been benchmarked, they are renamed from
*. to *.RC.  Individual results for each benchmarked warrior are
stored in *.RES. A score summary is displayed to the screen and saved
to RESULTS.TXT.
