I was going through a bizarre thread on Reddit, and came across this:
( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
It's representing a group of people smiling somewhat suspiciously.
(In the challenge below though, spaces to the left of the right eyes were dropped somehow while I was writing the challenge. Note the spec).
Your goal is to create a group of smiling lenny faces n
deep with the following rules:
- At depth one, a full face (
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
) is shown. - At depth two, half faces are shown. On the left side, a little over half the face (
( ͡° ͜ʖ
) is represented. On the right however, the right side is shown, and the mouth is omitted (ʖ ͡°)
) - Any deeper, and only the sides of head and eyes are shown (
( ͡°
and͡°)
. There's a space between the eye and left side of the head, but there are, despite appearances, no spaces on the right side. The spacing is due the͡
character which messes with things a bit.
Input:
n
, showing how many layers deep of faces to show.n
will always be in the range0 <= n <= 500
. You are not required to handle anything outside of this range.n
may be offset by 1 so that 0 means one face instead of no faces. You'll need to handle -1 then though.
Output:
- A string, or character array, or anything remotely comparable (like a list of single-character strings in Python/Javascript). It can also be printed directly. Trailing white-space is fine.
You can submit a complete program, or a function.
Since it's difficult to see what characters are involved, here's it laid out in Python:
>> [ord(c) for c in '( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)']
[40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41]
>> [ord(c) for c in '( ͡°( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)͡°)͡°)']
[40, 32, 865, 176, 40, 32, 865, 176, 40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41, 865, 176, 41, 865, 176, 41]

Here's an extraordinarily naive recursive reference implementation (posted on my Github). I tried to keep it as plain as possible for clarity; but there's a lot of duplication
I posted it externally because I wanted to wrap it in a spoiler in case people don't want to see a reference, but that complicates copying the code. I figure it's not important to the challenge really, so it isn't a big deal if it goes down I can paste it here if it's deemed important.
This is code-golf, so the least number of bytes in each language wins.
11It looks even more suspicious when rendered on TIO. :p – Arnauld – 2019-08-15T22:13:15.537
The spec and the test cases seem to be inconsistent; the spec has a space at the beginning of the right part of the latter depths, while the test cases do not. – tjjfvi – 2019-08-15T22:14:16.233
@Arnauld Oh wow. Ya, everywhere seems to show it a little differently. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-15T22:15:42.320
@tjjfvi I'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the
)͡°)͡°)͡°)͡°)͡°)͡°)͡°)͡°)
part? There are no spaces in there. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-15T22:16:05.317@tjjfvi If you mean the unformatted example at the very top vs the formatted examples, that's due to the ͡ character. It drifts off to the right, so it looks like there's a space to the left of it. The amount of drift seems to depend on how it's being shown. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-15T22:19:13.680

@Carcigenicate When I looked at the source markdown, it seemed that there was a space. Perhaps I am wrong. Thanks for the clarification! – tjjfvi – 2019-08-15T22:36:14.053
May the index be off by one, so that
face_crowd(0)
->'( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)'
? – Jitse – 2019-08-16T09:33:22.527there are, despite appearances, no spaces on the right side : this is not consistent with your very 1st example at the top of the challenge whose ASCII codes are
40,32,865,176,40,32,865,176,32,860,662,40,32,865,176,32,860,662,32,865,176,41,662,32,865,176,41,32,865,176,41
, with a space before the right eye of the last face. So, what is the correct version? – Arnauld – 2019-08-16T11:52:38.663The code blocks don't show correctly for me on mobile. – Evorlor – 2019-08-16T12:22:10.693
@Arnauld Hmm, I'm not sure those spaces got dropped while I was playing around in the REPL. Well, it's specified in more detail later on, so I'd rather not go against the explicit spec now. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-16T13:12:39.537
@Jitse Yes. I updated the question spec. Note then that you still need to handle no faces, which will be -1 if 0 means one face. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-16T13:15:45.880
@Evorlor Ya, it's anoyying. I have to use the full site to read the question. – Carcigenicate – 2019-08-16T13:16:13.137
