Esoteric, Obfuscated, Artistic Programming in Ruby
summary
Shows concrete Ruby hacks: a program encoded as only digits via Gödel-style numbering plus ObjectSpace enumeration that decodes and runs, and a variant that uses underscores and spaces (base‑6 digit mapping) to represent any Ruby source. Demonstrates self‑reproducing chains — a fizzbuzz quine that outputs shaped ASCII art, a QR‑chain and a 128 languages cascaded quine using compression tricks, plus a 3D model that embeds its source, an interactive 15‑puzzle quine, a tic‑tac‑toe with simple AI, and code resilient to single‑character deletion.
