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 11:32 comment added GNiklasch I sure hope no lovely red birds are going to be harmed in the course of this contest...
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.
