3: Deadlock's Domain (Deadlock)

Instructions

To win this battle you must grab files as they spawn in the central hosts and bring them back to your host.

Reading the #FILE register will tell you the ID of the most recently created file currently in that host.

 Gain one point for every file you bring back to your host.

 Lose one point every time one of your EXAs executes a KILL instruction.

For more information see "Hacker Battle Domination" in the second issue of the zine.
