| Mar 1, 2018 at 14:26 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | @mbomb007 I quite like that... Perhaps a challenge to create a quine that is the same when rotated 90° using that scoring mechanism? | |
| Mar 1, 2018 at 14:13 | comment | added | mbomb007 | I think another interesting scoring method would be max(width, height) ** 2, so getting your program to be more square would be incentivized. | |

| Mar 1, 2018 at 8:53 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | @mbomb007 I'm not sure I feel the programs have to be different, I think a quine that can be rotated would be valid as I feel that might be a challenge on its own. Does that help you compete (not really I'm guessing, by the last comment!), I would love to see a Python solution! | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 22:55 | comment | added | mbomb007 | I really want to see an answer in Python, even if it has symmetry. I'm getting stuck | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 21:41 | comment | added | mbomb007 | And the same applies to the one in the sandbox | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 21:41 | comment | added | Martin Ender | You might want to require the two programs to be different. Otherwise, quines which happen to have rotational symmetry would be valid answers. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 21:40 | comment | added | mbomb007 | Are the quine and its rotation allowed to be the same? | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 21:32 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | @WeijunZhou Indeed, I'm not sure how feasible it is, but I have a more complex version of this in the sandbox. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 21:30 | comment | added | Weijun Zhou | Having seen the answers so far I think the real challenge would be the anticlockwise one or a quine with more than one lines (so that rotation is different from transposition or simply inserting newlines). | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:57 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @dylnan No, the other one doesn't ask for a mutual quine. | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:56 | comment | added | dylnan | Is the only difference between this and the post @MartinEnder linked that that is a transpose and this is a rotation? | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:30 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | @EriktheOutgolfer Yes, I'll confirm that in the body, thanks! I've also clarified that the first program is the byte-count used. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:23 | comment | added | Erik the Outgolfer | So, we pad the code with spaces to keep its shape after turning? | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:17 | comment | added | Martin Ender | Somewhat related. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 20:14 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | Related. | |
