Corewars is great and was my first contact with programming when I was a child, as my father was (and still is) a very active member of its small community. I also won two youth computer science contests with a topic about corewar. It's very dear to my heart and probably what ignited my love for programming overall and changed the course of my whole life :)

Ah where does the community hang out these days?

My memory is that it used to be some irc and a lot of an email group, but memory too fuzzy.
