Write a program that produces mirror images of itself. An example, would be the fantastic camel code that reads it's own code and produces two smaller 2x2 versions. Given the input:

                                           $_='ev
                                       al("seek\040D
           ATA,0,                  0;");foreach(1..3)
       {<DATA>;}my               @camel1hump;my$camel;
  my$Camel  ;while(             <DATA>){$_=sprintf("%-6

it produces:

A simpler example would take the input:

and produce:

  • \$\begingroup\$ Is the goal here code which just mirrors text, or does it have to be a proper quine? Should it actually take input or not? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @nitro2k01 It should mirror text; it isn't really expected to be a proper quine. No user input is expected. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Well your camel 3 and 4 should be upside down to be mirror image of camel 1 and 2 ! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 2, 2014 at 15:10

Bash and common utils

You may have to install rev

I wasn't satisfied with merely reflecting character positions, it really messes up ascii-art input. So I tried to reflect characters too, modulo the ascii character set.

#!/bin/bash
half_width=39
left='/(q[{d>Ss'
right='\\)p]}b<Zz'
up='\\`!^qwWtupSs_'
down='/,ivdmMfnbZz\-'
function callback () {
line=${2: 0: half_width}
p=$((half_width-${#line}))
printf "%s%${p}s%${p}s%s\n" \
"$line" "" "" "$(rev<<<"$line" \
| tr $left$right $right$left)" ; }
if ! [ "$1" ]; then cat < "$0"; elif
[ "$1" == "-" ]; then cat; else cat < "$1"
fi | mapfile -c1 -Ccallback -t | tee >(tac | tr $up$down $down$up)

With no arguments, the script prints itself reflected 2x2, as requested:

$ ./2x2.sh

This one definitely took me a while. But it was really fun!

$,                                    | s(s+s.reverse)";eval e.gsub(/[\s|]/,'')

It's "PPCG!" in ASCII art! :D

Here's a detailed explanation. First, I found out how to do the actual mirroring. Here's the mirroring code:

s = open($0).read.split "\n"
$, = ' '
s = s.zip(s.reverse).map &:join
puts s + s.reverse

Then I had to remove whitespace characters and double quotes (because escaping just gets messy), so I used Ruby's Fixnum#chr.

The basic structure of the program is now:

e="<code>"
eval e.gsub(/\s/,'')

Now I can make it into ASCII art! So, that's what I did. Then, I padded the ASCII art with spaces and |s at the end, and I made it to here:

e="s=  open(  $0).r  ead.s  pli       |
t   (  1   0  .      ch     r);       |
$   ,  =   3  2      .      chr       |
;s=s.  zip(s  .      r ev   ers       |
e      )      .      m   a            |
p      (      &:joi  n);pu   t        |
s(s+s.reverse)";eval e.gsub(/[\s|]/,'')

However, that looked a bit ugly, since there wasn't enough padding around the ASCII art. Therefore, I added a bit of extra padding, and got where I am now! ($, | x is equivalent to x since $, is nil by default.)

He, he... This could not work because of half-chars could not be simply reversed.

For this, we have to run command in reversed order:

  • \$\begingroup\$ +1. My guess for the downvote is your first example output doesn't do the padding, and the downvoter didn't bother reading further. I see you go on to implement padding, so personally I would edit the answer just to include that. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 3, 2014 at 18:24

This output looks like "Windows 4X4".
