I came across the written concept of a Quine a few years ago, but the template Ive been writing which lets users use the appgen to write their own templates, could be classed as a Quine.
There’s a few defintions of what is a Quine, but where it gets hazy is the input issue. In the strict sense a Quine doesnt have input, but my Template Builder template by definition uses appgen input to build itself recursively. However I could code it to produce itself without appgen input if I wanted it to.
Anyway, some defintions of a Quine.
A more detailed view on a Quine.
