Build pMARS Simulator

Acerca de

Provides comprehensive guidance for building pMARS (portable Memory Array Redcode Simulator) from source, particularly within Debian-based environments. It excels at configuring legacy C software for headless execution by stripping X11 dependencies, managing build-time dependencies, and performing rigorous verification via binary analysis and debugging tools. This skill is ideal for developers needing to deploy Core War simulators in server-side or containerized environments where graphical interfaces are not available, ensuring a stable and verified build through structured phases of preparation, configuration, and testing.
