    Hi all! I'm new to corewar and I'm not quite sure where to start learning the ins and outs of redcode and various strategies. I am experienced in high level languages and I have gone through https://corewar-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and various
    other sites linked to KOTH or the main corewar site but I'm still not sure where else to look for information/learning resources.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the slow reply. The Beginners' Guide to Redcode is a good
    place to start learning Redcode. I'm working very slowly on a modern
    strategy guide. It's far from complete, but every section links to a more-or-less complete list of articles written about the strategy. I
    recommend picking one strategy to begin with and experimenting with it
    for a while.

    Good luck,

    John
