Ouroboros Quine

Post by Akumu9K »

This is a simple ouroboros quine made out of 2 identical quines.
It cycles between them every 2 iterations, so if our quines were named A and B, A would give B, and B would give A.
I dunno any practical uses for this, so I will be leaving that as an exercise to the reader

The Ouroboros Quine Generator:

I used identical quines because I’m lazy, but you can use any quine as long as you keep the section after the quine restructuring intact.
The part that makes it work (You need to transfer this over to any other quine, if you wish to use another quine):
