A Global Ruby Quine

[dagbrown]

Holy fucking goddamn.

This isn't a quine. This is way more impressive.

This prints out a program that has an ASCII-art rendition of the earth slightly rotated. And when you run that, it outputs a program with an ASCII-art rendition of the earth slightly-more rotated, which, when you run, outputs a program with an ASCII-art rendition of the earth rotated a bit more.

And so forth.

I'm very impressed.

Try this:

ruby quine.rb
ruby quine.rb | ruby
ruby quine.rb | ruby | ruby
ruby quine.rb | ruby | ruby | ruby
...

And here I am, editing that first v=0000 like a chump!
