So instead of making yet another quine, it would be cool to generate an already existing quine from something that doesn't look like it at all.
|
|
So what if it is encoded in seemingly random words, like the programming language [Shakespeare](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare) or [Chef](https://esolangs.org/wiki/chef).
|
|
|
|
So let us take this quine:
|
|
https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/brainfuck/index.php
|
|
|
|
```bf
|
|
+[-<+]-ÿ<<<<<<<[.>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
So the original development for the higher-level-quine went like this:
|
|
|
|
- create a file that secretly compiles (almost completely) into the Brainfuck quine.
|
|
- in a language younger than two weeks to **ensure** nobody made this earlier.
|
|
- and propose features that improve both the language and help you with this ridiculous idea
|
|
- like variable-names of any size and composed of any\* characters which is kinda cool for any programming language to have
|
|
- then realize no editor has syntax highlighting for this language
|
|
- make that first yourself for a IDE you have not touched for years, yay first atom package published to apm!!!
|
|
- realize the rabbit hole has been entered...
|
|
|
|
So that is what this project is: a source-file containing what seems some oddly but still acceptable formatted text that compiles to the quine.

# How to run
|
|
|
|
Run `build.sh` with the mblf compiler installed.
|
|
The mblf compiler needs to be installed from [source](https://github.com/MBLF-Project/mblf/releases/tag/v0.1.0), as it needs the **AllArged patch**.
|
|
|
|
## Installing mblf from source with AllArged patch
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/MBLF-Project/quine-stuff.git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/MBLF-Project/mblf.git
|
|
|
|
cp quine-stuff/patches/AllArged.diff mblf/
|
|
cd mblf
|
|
|
|
git checkout tags/v0.1.0
|
|
git apply AllArged.diff
|
|
rm AllArged.diff
|
|
|
|
cargo install --path .
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generate quine
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd ../quine-stuff
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If all steps went correctly, you should have the file quine.bf, which was generated from the wordFactList.mblf
