Print a smiley face

Requirements

For the sake of the challenge let's define a unit:

A unit is defined as any point that compose the grid in which the face is drawn (pixels for screen, characters for ASCII art, etc..).

The minimal requirements for the face are:

A smiley face is composed of a shape that resemble a circle (not necessarily perfect) of any radius. There must be at least 1 unit for each of the two eyes and at least 2 units for the mouth. Both eyes and mouth should be within the face shape. The mouth can be oriented however you want (happy, sad, indifferent, etc..).

Here's an example of the output:

 0 0 0    . . .
0 . . 0  . o o .
0 --- 0  . \_/ .
 0 0 0    . . .

Goals

Of course the main goal is to come up with the shortest code possible, but art is also important.

Winner

The winner is chosen based on the amount of votes from the users, in, at least, the next 5 days.

Isn't indifferent face strictly easier than happy, and sad sometimes more difficult? – o0'. – 2013-12-29T13:50:49.073

2Not going to make this an answer since it doesn't fit the minimum requirements, but I wanted to chime in... alt + 1 and alt + 2 will produce ☺ and ☻ respectively. For the sake of argument I'll consider the alt key press a character and call that 2 characters. – Dryden Long – 2013-12-30T17:30:15.953

Javascript, 340

var i=0,b=document.body,d=20,n=b.clientWidth,m=b.clientHeight,f="width=10,height=10,"
var o=new Function("f","i","t",'open("","",f+"left="+i+",top="+t)')
for(j=0;j<m/d;++j,i=j*d){
   u=Math.sqrt(i*(m-i))
   t=m/2+u*(j%2-0.5)*2
   o(f,i,t)
   i>m/5&&i<0.8*m&&j%2&&o(f,i,t-m/4);
   ((i<m/3&&i>m/4)||(i<3*m/4&&i>2*m/3))&&o(f,i,m/3)
}

Javascript, 283

optimized version (with some improvements & without unnecessary white spaces)

var i=0,b=document.body,d=20,n=b.clientWidth,m=b.clientHeight,f="width=10,height=10,"
function o(i,t){open("","",f+"left="+i+",top="+t)}for(j=0;j<m/d;i=++j*d){u=Math.sqrt(i*(m-i));t=m/2+j%2*2*u-u;o(i,t);i>m/5&&i<0.8*m&&j%2&&o(i,t-m/4);((i<m/3&&i>m/4)||(i<3*m/4&&i>2*m/3))&&o(i,m/3)}

Well.. maybe it isn't as short as you would want to but it's unconventional for sure. It looks better when your browser is maximized. I really enjoyed your question! If you want to increase the details just reduce d variable slightly.

edit: Unfortunately I can't run it on jsfiddle ~~but you can paste it to Javascript console in aby browser. Oh, and enable popups on the page :).~~

edit2: You can run it making a new html file and paste the code into it:

<body>
<script>
var i=0,b=document.body,d=20,n=b.clientWidth,m=b.clientHeight,f="width=10,height=10,"
var o=new Function("f","i","t",'open("","",f+"left="+i+",top="+t)')
for(j=0;j<m/d;++j,i=j*d){
   u=Math.sqrt(i*(m-i))
   t=m/2+u*(j%2-0.5)*2
   o(f,i,t)
   i>m/5&&i<0.8*m&&j%2&&o(f,i,t-m/4);
   ((i<m/3&&i>m/4)||(i<3*m/4&&i>2*m/3))&&o(f,i,m/3)
}
</script>
</body>

Then when you run it and nothing happens, just enable the popup windows and reload the page. In addition I paste screenshot

@the_Seppi : code relies on the popups so disable popup blockers, adBlock & related stuff, then refresh your html file in a browser. – avall – 2013-12-29T20:08:05.520

popups enabled, need them for js debugging, ABP disabled on jsfiddle, still not working (Im using Chromium browser) – s3lph – 2013-12-29T20:10:27.207

You won't run it on jsfiddle. I tried and I failed. Make a new html file locally and insert the code I pasted in my answer. It should work well. – avall – 2013-12-29T20:23:08.523

You don't have to close most of your tags (most browsers will handle it), you don't need to define the type of input (text is default) and don't close <br> (html5). Here's the optimised code with only 150 chars :): http://jsfiddle.net/avall/TdPkF/

1@handuel Both are faces, but different. Did you mean the code and the output to be the same like a quine? I'm sure it can be done. – Sylwester – 2013-12-29T18:30:42.627

Does the second example count? There's no circle around the face. – Kevin – 2013-12-29T19:01:41.227

1@Kevin, good point. Amended. – Darren Stone – 2013-12-29T19:42:24.360

QBasic ASCII, 134 (unoptimized)

SCREEN 1
PRINT CHR$(1)
FOR i = 0 TO 64
  x = i \ 8
  y = i MOD 8
  LOCATE y + 2, x + 1
  IF POINT(x, y) THEN PRINT "X"
NEXT

This answer totally cheats by using ASCII character 1 for its smiley. However, unlike the BF and "plain text" answers, it actually obeys the rules by making ASCII art based on the pixels of the smiley character, rather than just plainly printing the character as its full solution. The unoptimized version represents how QBasic's IDE saves the files. The IDE is "helpfully" fixing up the syntax for us and adding a lot of whitespace where "needed".

Output: QBasic ASCII smiley unoptimized

QBasic ASCII, 80 (optimized)

SCREEN 1
?"☺"
FOR i=0TO 64
x=i\8
y=i MOD 8
LOCATE y+2,x+1
?CHR$(POINT(x,y))
NEXT

This is an optimized version of the first code sample, which still loads in QBasic. Things that were done:

Removed all unnecessary whitespace. (D'uh!)
Changed the CRLF line breaks to LF only.
Replaced CHR$(1) with a string containing the actual character. (Here illustrated with a matching Unicode character. If you actually want to try the code, please replace it with a real ASCII character 1 using a hex editor.)
Replaced PRINT with ?, as the BASIC tradition allows for.
Replaced the IF line with a line that prints characters based on the source pixel value. This will be be either 0 or 3. 0 is the color black. Character 0 prints a null character which is treated like a space. 3 is the color white in CGA's 4-color palette. ASCII character 3 is a heart.

Output: QBasic ASCII smile optimized

QBasic graphical, 83 (whitespace optimized)

SCREEN 1
CIRCLE(50,50),50
CIRCLE(50,50),30,,4,5.4
CIRCLE(30,40),10
CIRCLE(70,40),10

But wait, I here you ask, can't you just use QBasic's built-in graphics commands? Sure, but that won't actually save you any bytes, because of the verbosity of the language. But it does have a built-in function to only draw a circle arc between two given angles, which is nice. The angles are given in radians, and 4 and 5.4 approximate a circle arc symmetrically centered around π*3/2, or if you've joined the good side, τ*3/4.

Output: QBasic graphical smiley optimized

Note: The sizes in this answer denote how big the file is in, in bytes.

Rebmu, 24 chars

Oh, the m-i-n-i-m-a-l humanity. :-) Least impressive Rebmu program yet, so purposefully embedding pHp as a tribute to the blue pill in the programming world:

H{ -- }pHp{|..|^/|\/|}pH

Execution:

>> rebmu [H{ -- }pHp{|..|^/|\/|}pH]
 -- 
|..|
|\/|
 --

Explanation

Rebmu is just a dialect of Rebol. It inherits the parse constraints, uses abbreviated terms without spaces separated by runs of capitalization. It has a special treatment when the first run is capitalized vs uncapitalized.

(So rather than separating terms like AbcDefGhi it can use the difference between ABCdefGHI and abcDEFghi to squeeze out a bit of information. Sequences whose runs start in all capitalized are separated so the first term represents a "set-word!", often contextually interpreted as a desire for an assignment. see video)

If you want to translate this to native Rebol, you have to accept things like that it starts with a capital H to mean that's actually an h: and not an h. The source is thus analogous to:

h: { -- }
print h
print {|..|^/|\/|}
print h

Assigns the string -- to h (using asymmetric string delimiters because print {"Isn't it nice," said {Dr. Rebmu}, "when you have asymmetric multi-line string delimiters with no need for escaping matched nested pairs, and that accept apostrophes and quotes too?"}

Prints h once, prints another string where ^/ is the escape sequence for newline (carets being less used in software than backslashes which appear often in paths), prints h again.

Perl, 106 chars

It is a Perl oneliner, just have to C&P it on command prompt, provided the Perl Acme::EyeDrops module is already installed on the machine.

touch temp && perl -MAcme::EyeDrops='sightly' -e 'print sightly({Shape=>"smiley", SourceFile => "temp" } );'

enter image description here

Another way , a smiley with Pulling a face

     touch temp && perl -MAcme::EyeDrops='sightly' -e 'print sightly({Shape=>"smiley2",SourceFile=>"temp"});'

enter image description here

Yet another way,a smiley with Pulling a face upside down,

 touch temp && perl -MAcme::EyeDrops='sightly' -e 'print sightly({Shape=>"smiley2",SourceFile=>"temp",RotateFlip=>'true',Rotate=>'180'});'

Edit: added better eyes.

Prints a smiley face into the console.

Could lose quite a few characters to make my bitmask simpler and print a less pretty face, or use a circle equation instead of an ellipse to account for character spacing - but that's not the spirit.

You can change the r variable to change the size and get a more or less detailed face; any number >=7 && <=99 will give a good result and stay within the character limit.

function c(e,t,n){return t/2*Math.sqrt(1-e*e/(n*n))+.5|0}r=42;p=r/2;q=p/5;s="";for(y=-p;++y<p;){for(x=-r;++x<r;){d=c(y,r*2,p);e=c(y+q,r/5,q);f=e-p;g=e+p;h=c(y,r*1.3,r/3);s+=x>=d||x<=-d||x>=-g&&x<f||x<=g&&x>-f||y>q&&x>-h&&x<h?" ":0}s+="\n"}console.log(s)

Human readable:

function c(y,w,h){return w/2*Math.sqrt(1-y*y/(h*h))+0.5|0}
r = 42
p = r/2
q = p/5
s = ''
for (y = -p; ++y < p;) {
  for (x = -r; ++x < r;) {
    d = c(y,r*2,p)
    e = c(y+q,r/5,q)
    f = e - p
    g = e + p
    h = c(y,r*1.3,r/3)
    s+=(x>=d||x<=-d||(x>-g&&x<f)||(x<g&&x>-f)||(y>q&&(x>-h&&x<h)))?' ':0
  }
  s += '\n'
}
console.log(s)

Output:

smiley in console

My first game of golf so likely to be some improvements.

Nitpick: ASCII 1 is SOH, a non-printable character. That smiley is U+263A, or 1 in CP437, what you are probably using. Unfortunately, your output fails the condition of using enough “units” for the eyes and mouth. – Christopher Creutzig – 2013-12-29T09:42:54.650

2@ChristopherCreutzig It does not fail that condition. Each eye is 1 or so pixels, the mouth is more than twice as large. – Justin – 2013-12-29T15:57:13.213

1Cool. With that shape it could replace my gravatar image. :) It can be reduced to 252 characters: s(){ (($1>1))&&echo -n "${2:- }"&&s $[$1-1] $2;};m(){ ((t=2*$1));while ((t=t-1));do v=$[$1-t];l=$[${v#-}+1];s $l;q=$[2*($1-l)];w=\s $q`;((l>t&&l<t+3&&q>2))&&w=" `s $[q-2] 0` ";((t>$1+1&&q>3))&&{ g=`s $[(q-1)/2] 0`;w=" $g $g ";};echo "+${w:+$w+}";done;}`. Or 245 if you give up the function m and put the code in a script file. Probably can be reduced even more by tweaking the calculations, but I have no time for that now. – manatwork – 2013-12-30T11:53:59.147

GolfScript, 18

This program uses some binary-encoded values which appear as weird/invalid characters in a text editor.

Here's the hex dump:

00000000  27 c1 94 80 a2 9c c1 27  7b 32 62 61 73 65 20 70  |'......'{2base p|
00000010  7d 25                                             |}%|

Note: it doesn't work in a UTF-8 locale, but works fine with ISO-8859-1 for example.

The expanded version with escaped characters:

"\xc1\x94\x80\xa2\x9c\xc1"{2base p}%

Output:

[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1]
[1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0]
[1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
[1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0]
[1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1]

For nicer output, you can replace the block with {2base{38+}%n} which brings the binary version to 23 bytes. Expanded version:

"\xc1\x94\x80\xa2\x9c\xc1"{2base{38+}%n}%

Output:

''&&&&&'
'&&'&'&&
'&&&&&&&
'&'&&&'&
'&&'''&&
''&&&&&'

CJam, 18

I decided to go for short code... Try it here.

" ##O#- #"2/{_(N}%

Explanation

" ##O#- #"      "Push a string onto the stack";
2/              "Split it into an array of two-character groups";
{_(N}%          "For each item in the array, execute _(N : duplicate the element,
                 remove the first character and place it onto the stack after what's left,
                 and push a new line.";

This exploits the symmetry of the smiley face I designed.

Output

 ## 
#OO#
#--#

JavaScript 25

document.write("☺")

You should get the Unicode smiley face! Granted, it's a little cheaty, but it satisfies all the requirements:

A smiley face is composed of a shape that resemble a circle (not necessarily perfect) of any radius. (Check! The shape resembles a circle)

There must be at least 1 unit for each of the two eyes and at least 2 units for the mouth. (Check! Given the rule for a unit also allowing for pixels, this rule is also satisfied!)

Both eyes and mouth should be within the face shape. (Check, eyes and mouth are wholly within the face shape!)

The mouth can be oriented however you want (happy, sad, indifferent, etc..). (Check! Already smiling!)

other fonts have that glyph too, here's a variation on yours:alert("\u263a"); – Jasen – 2014-12-27T02:35:42.627

also: document.write("\u263a") – Jasen – 2014-12-27T02:36:57.477

1Your image isn't drawn with pixels, it's drawn with characters. I'm pretty sure this doesn't meet the requirements. – mbomb007 – 2015-01-16T17:45:13.867

Shell command or builtin

$ echo -e ' ,---.\n/ o o \\\n\ \\_/ /\n `---´'
 ,---.
/ o o \
\ \_/ /
 `---´
$ printf ' ,---.\n/ o o \\\n\ \\_/ /\n `---´\n'
 ,---.
/ o o \
\ \_/ /
 `---´

Depending on the flavour of your shell or command set, echo may or may not interprete control characters with or witout -e... (...and I demand that I may or may not be Vroomfondel!) just try... and if all else fails, using printf should be a safe bet...

T-SQL, 628

For SQL Server 2012+

This is a query I did some time ago as a bit of fun and to show my kids.
It uses the string in @ to determine a few parameters B = base, O = offset, M = multiplier, D = divisor. These are then used to create a SQL Server Geometry (2012+).

It's not particularly golfed.

DECLARE @ varchar(30)='Don''t Worry, Be Happy';
WITH P AS(
    SELECT LEN(PARSENAME(F,1))D,
        LEN(PARSENAME(F,2))M,
        LEN(PARSENAME(F,3))B,
        LEN(PARSENAME(F,4))O
    FROM (VALUES(REPLACE(@,' ','.')))S(F)
    )
SELECT @, Geometry::Point(B*M,B*M,0).STBuffer(B*M).STDifference((
    SELECT Geometry::UnionAggregate(g)
    FROM (
        SELECT Geometry::Point(B*M-O,B*M+O,0).STBuffer(B/D*M)FROM P
        UNION ALL
        SELECT Geometry::Point(B*M+O,B*M+O,0).STBuffer(B/D*M)FROM P
        UNION ALL
        SELECT Geometry::STGeomFromText(
            CONCAT('CIRCULARSTRING(', 
                B*M-O,' ',B*M-O,',',
                B*M,' ',(B*M-O)-((B*M)/(B*M-O)),',',
                B*M+O,' ',B*M-O,')'),0).STBuffer(B/D)FROM P
            )A(G)
        )) 
FROM P

When run in SSMS it shows the following in the spatial results tab enter image description here

[tag:ascii-art]. Isn't this unicode? Or is this ascii of 1? – Justin – 2013-12-29T03:26:08.493

7Looks like the squared face guy sitting in front of me (a.k.a a box). – Frenzy Li – 2013-12-29T04:25:37.690

3Doesn’t seem to me to use enough “units.” – Christopher Creutzig – 2013-12-29T09:44:29.173

The whole idea in defining a "unit" was to prevent this kind of answers, that have, already, been posted here.

– Shoe – 2013-12-29T12:05:25.630

1@Jefffrey: I wasn’t going to add this one, but then I read that in your definition of “units” you also said “pixels”. I’ll delete it if you’d like to clarify that, though. – Ry- – 2013-12-29T19:16:31.240

@Quincunx the Unicode smiley block starts at u+1F600. And ASCII 1 is SOH – s3lph – 2013-12-30T11:33:08.903

2I just see a box (Google Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m). Where are the eyes and mouth? – user13267 – 2013-12-31T08:40:37.703
