One-file version is here
๐ Major Update: One-File Self-Duplicating Feature Now Available!
Hey creators, developers, and curious minds! ๐
I'm thrilled to announce a new and experimental update to this project — the addition of a single-file, self-duplicating script that demonstrates basic file replication in a controlled, non-malicious, and educational environment.
๐ Whatโs Included in This Update?
This update introduces a simple self-duplication behavior into the file. Hereโs what it does:
-
โ One-Time Duplication Per Execution
Each time you run the file, it creates one new copy of itself in the same folder. No loops, no infinite spawns — just a single duplication event. -
๐ง Same Code, Same Extension
The duplicate is an exact replica of the original file: same code, same file extension, same logic. -
๐งช Educational Focus
This was designed as a safe demonstration of how self-replication could work in a file. It's ideal for learning more about:-
File I/O in Python
-
Code introspection (a file reading its own source)
-
Basic automation and logic behind file duplication
-
How programs can โknowโ and replicate themselves
-
โ๏ธ Technical Details
-
๐ Written in Python
The code uses introspection (reading its own contents), creates a new file with a unique name, and writes itself into it. -
๐ฆ Also Available as .EXE
A compiled version is provided for those who prefer not to run raw Python or who just want to click and observe behavior easily on Windows. -
๐ฏ Safe by Design
This script is 100% harmless:-
It does not hide or run in the background.
-
It duplicates only once per run.
-
It only writes files into the same folder.
-
Thereโs no obfuscation, persistence, or tampering involved.
-
๐งฉ Use Cases
-
๐ Learning Tool
Perfect for beginner-to-intermediate programmers who want to explore how a program can interact with itself. -
๐ฌ Classroom Demos
Teachers or instructors looking to show students the concept of file cloning and self-reference. -
๐งช Experiments in Autonomy
Hobbyists or tinkerers exploring early forms of โself-awareโ code structures or procedural content replication.
๐จ A Final Note on Ethics and Safety
Please remember: this is not malware. Itโs a learning experiment.
Although the concept of a file duplicating itself might sound alarming, this version is intentionally limited to ensure it doesnโt run amok. Still, treat the behavior with care and respect — and never apply this kind of logic to harmful software or systems without permission.
Thanks again to everyone who continues to follow and support this project. If you found this update fun, helpful, or even weirdly fascinating, feel free to leave a comment, review, or suggestion for future experiments! ๐
Stay creative and curious,
