Lambda: The Gathering


s a two-player competitive game and programming language defined in the task description of the ICFP programming contest 2011. The language works with two kinds of values: integers and functions.

Each player has a set of 256 "slots", each of which stores a single value and has a hit point counter ("vitality"). Each turn, a player applies one of the 15 primitives ("cards") to one of his slots from either left or right. This means that if your opponent harms your slot, you will have more difficulty writing programs.
