Ah looks interesting. Perhaps this is inspired by Core War?

Isn't it just a case of cloning yourself as many time as possible until you encounter an enemy, and then you have superior number even with a lesser good algorithm?

Reminds me (in spirit) of screeps https://screeps.com/ - any inspiration?
In 2006, Symantec ran a programming competition of sorts for University students, where you had to write code for a tiny bot that was trying to collect as many resources as possible from the game map. What made it particularly interesting was that one of the features of the instruction set was a peek/poke operation that would let you modify the memory of other bots, letting you try to break them and take control of them to help your cause.
