I get a syntax error in line 1 about the token ')',i don't have much knowledge of ruby,but i want to experience this amazing program,can someone help me?
Yusuke Endoh07 September, 2010 21:48
Crane: What version of ruby are you using? I tested it with ruby 1.8.7-p72 and 1.9.2-p0.
Crane08 September, 2010 02:11
I tried it with ruby 1.9.1p378
the total error message is:
./earthrotate.rb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./earthrotate.rb: line 1: `v=0000;eval$s=%q~d=%!^LcfYoP'
Justin08 September, 2010 02:55
Crane: I was able to get past this by using ruby to execute the script. So use:

$ ruby earthrotate.rb

instead of:

$ ./earthrotate.rb
Crane08 September, 2010 10:54
@Justin:I tried as what you said:
ruby earthrotate.rb
and I get this:
earthrotate.rb:12:in `eval': (eval):7: syntax error, unexpected $undefined (SyntaxError)

1. Copy one of the above programs as a.rb.

2. Run:

while true; do clear; ruby a.rb | tee b.rb; sleep 1; mv -f b.rb a.rb; done

When I wrote and thought up my first quine I thought that was pretty impressive, however you have completely blown my mind with this one. That is the single most amazing quine that I have ever seen.

Oh, and for those of you that want to see it in action:

Crazy!
Keep it up!

Any chance on having a writeup on it's logic?
Yusuke Endoh16 September, 2010 23:21
Please read the source code :-)
Anonymous29 October, 2010 15:19
dead Anonymous 2 up: quininess is achieved by having most of the program in a string and evaling it. the only exceptions are the v variable and the eval statement itself. v contains the angle of rotation of the globe at a given moment.

fully half of the program is a compressed map of the earth, which is unpacked, and as each line is printed, the corresponding line of the globe is rotated according to the value in v and distorted to proper shape by a lot of Math™, converted to ascii by a simple map, and printed in the correct area. A lot of tricks are used to make sure said area does not get executed as code or stored as data. Hope this helps in your own parsing of the source.

qlobe.ruby:24: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version

ruby 1.8.1

although it does work perfectly... just gives a warning.

i've never coded in ruby so i have no idea what the heck that warning means.

that is one AWESOME quine you've built

Hi, I don't know Ruby at all,but I am very much interested in enjoying this piece or your work :) I tried your code on http://ideone.com/sNY7M but as you could see it's giving compilation error.

For those wondering how to view this:

1. copy contents of textarea to qlobe.rb
2. for ((;;)); do for i in {1..45}; do clear; ruby qlobe.rb $i; sleep 0.1; done; done

Not sure if the "45" is correct...
Tim Jones05 January, 2011 06:45
It should be 360, not 45. If it's 45 it will only rotate 45° and then start again. So the command should be:

for ((;;)); do for i in {1..360}; do clear; ruby qlobe.rb $i; sleep 0.1; done; done

@Greg, can you script that to run infinitely? I'm not sure how to wrap your script is an infinite do loop.
Anonymous18 January, 2011 06:01
got it.
Infinite loop:

being; for i in {0..360}; do clear; ruby qlobe.rb $i; sleep 0.05; done; end while true;

I do not know whether it's just me or if everybody else encountering problems with your site. It looks like some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen previously. Many thanks
