Hints
- If you are an expirienced Redcoder, you might want to use the "Load Expert Settings" button in the options dialog.
- To toggle displaying full content in the monitor, press CTRL-O. (Default setting shows ICWS'88 style)
- Current Hills are using in-register-evaluation and allow more than only strict '94 rules.
- A click between the Entry Point field and the trace program checkbox centers the actual cell in the monitor view.
- Break conditions are ignored, when Watches are disabled.
- To speed up execution without disabling the monitor view, press CTRL-F
- Beginners should study the ICWS'94 draft carefully, after reading a tutorial to Redcode.
