Super Quine

SuperHack is proving to be interesting.

I've made two completely different quines. The first, I lost the source to, sadly, the second is *under* 10x10! (I think that should be a challenge)

I won't show either in case a minimal quine challenge appears, I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone!

Speaking of which, are this & String Reversal the only SuperHack challenges at the moment? Or are there others hidden somewhere?

I was playing with Super Quine last night - my smallest rectangular area at the moment is 42 (7x6). I think <40 is probably possible; 30 is pushing it though.

I like SuperHack! Finally, a loop does look like a loop! Please, more of it!

ok therethinker your 24 code super quine is just sick! I was trying to beat 45!

I've managed 30 now... 24 is tough though!

I find it odd how it forgets previous solutions - does it only keep the absolute best ones as true solutions? Is it possible to also display each failing user's best attempt? It might be interesting.

only the best or ones within the window are kept as solutions. i'll add a history thing, you're right, would be neat.

Hehe, thanks M.

Also, I can't access the Super Small Quine forum topic anymore... is this on purpose?

I boiled my code down to 20 characters and it says its too high. (the current record is 20) Is this how it should be, or do I need to do 1 better to make the list?

sorry, bug with the equaling of scores. you should be good to go now.

you do lose access to the forum when your score gets invalidated. i'll probably keep it like this.

Hi,

noob Question, but I haven't been challenging for a few month, so this seems new to me. Where/how/when can one see previous solutions? It would be nice to see others solutions of course, is there something I was missing?

Btw. 24 thanks to laziness
