Description
This is the QR code of a QUINE program I made in Petit Computer, available for DSi/3DS. It's an interesting challenge. The purpose of a QUINE program is to accept no inputs and output the program's source code. It's a bit long and won't fit on the screen if it runs, but I think I did a good job. I'm run it against the community to see if it can be simplified a bit.EDIT: People submitted far better examples of quines here! [link]

Nice. Don't know the language, but I know what QUINE-ing is, thanks to a book titled GΓΆdel, Escher, Bach: and Eternal Golden Braid that my dad showed me a few years ago.
Also, did you know your text capture gif is the only thing that pops up when you search "cemetech"?

Not really.
I think your fixation on cemetech is a little creepy. Kerm mentioned you before.

I do admit, I was kinda annoying on SAX back in February(? Maybe early March?) when I used SAX as a way to allieviate boredom, but now I'm only on when I have a technical problem or need coding help.

Works fine for me. What does it do when you run it?

It runs the print command of the whole prg!

It just runs the print command of the whole program!

"The purpose of a QUINE program is to accept no inputs and output the program's source code."
From the description.
That is exactly what it's supposed to do. Telling a program to display its own source code is a complicated logical puzzle someone might try when they are learning a new language. Every language has it's own rules and quirks, and generally a different way of solving it.

I didn't know what that meant... π£

You could have looked it up before bashing me about it. You come off looking extremely ignorant about computers, programming, and computational theory.
