There was a C program written for a contest that was formatted in ASCII art as a Japanese character. When compiled and ran it printed out another program formatted in a different Japanese character, then another, then finally it printed out the first again.

I was looking for the code to that and could not find it on the internet. I dont remember what contest nor what the name of the program was.

Thanks.

If the source is abcd efg (i.e., the C string "abcd\nefg") Then the output should be gfe dcba (i.e., the C string "gfe\ndcba") Bonus points for using esoteric languages such as brainf*ck. *EDIT:** Removed the unnecessary… >>> More

I have created a turing-complete programming language (already proven) so it must be possible to write a quine for it, right? But all quines I know store their source code in a string and then replace a special character in it using something like chr and ord. My language only has the following Basic… >>> More

I just wanted to know if it is 100% possible, if my language is turing-complete, to write a program in it that prints itself out (of course not using a file reading function) So if the language just has the really necessary things in order to make it turing complete (I would prove that by translating… >>> More
