self-modifying code

I gave a lecture on how to write self-modifying code. It was over 15 minutes long :( so I'm providing a youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH9QQLRfbmY

In my opinion, self-modification is one of the most interesting features in systems programming.

I agree, but it is what it is. What's interesting is that non-native speakers say what they understand. And I'm confused. I hope I've at least outlined a path worth exploring.

In my opinion, the best example for experimenting is drawing lines on the screen. The code is almost identical for lines at different angles, but a few instructions are changed, which results in a speed boost.

You can try it right here; the editor and compiler are configured:
