quinesnake

A quine that plays snake over its own source!

How to run it

The program compiles itself; to run it first make the source file executable (chmod +x quinesnake.cpp), then run it with ./quinesnake.cpp. It invokes g++ on itself and then starts the game.

The snake is controlled with w, a, s and d.

quinesnake.cpp

This is the quine version that also compiles itself and plays snake over its own source. It requires:

libcurses
Some binary called g++ needs to exist (tested with GCC and Clang)
/bin/ls needs to exist and be executable

quinesnake-commented.cpp

This version of the program isn't a quine and doesn't compile itself, but it has all of the basic game-playing logic that the real version has, plus it's commented and readable.
