Suggesting a quine as an example demo program #303

Closed jiaminglimjm closed 3 years ago

jiaminglimjm commented 3 years ago

Hi! I managed to write a quine as a side project in MARIE.js and it works (in unicode output mode)! I linked to the code and its "decompiled" version below. Do you think it would make a suitable addition to the list of example demo programs in marie.js.org?

I think it demonstrates two things, in that Marie programs are essentially lists of numbers and that you really can code anything with such a simple assembly language. Though I'm not sure if a self-printing program really makes the cut as an example demo program.

+1 from me.

Here's a sample header for which the quine also works:

What do you think?

Awesome, can you create a PR for the example?

You can check out #291 which contains an example of adding MARIE samples
