Print the Oscars Best Picture Winner

Question

This challenge is in tribute to the winner of Best Picture at the Oscars 2017, La La Land Moonlight!

---

Your challenge is to print the text

La La Land

pause one second, then change the text to show

La La Land Moonlight

The original text (La La Land) must have a strikethrough. This can be achieved either by clearing the screen, drawing on top of the original text, or by any other clever solutions.

This is a code-golf so lowest bytes wins. Standard code-golf rules apply.

Vim, 37 bytes

3iLa <esc>snd<esc>gs:s/./&<C-v>u336/g
A Moonlight

A fairly straightforward solution.

Here is an animation of it running:

Answer 2

HTML, 153 148 bytes

Using CSS animation. Tested on Firefox and Chrome only.

<s>La La Land</s> <b>Moonlight<style>@keyframes l{0%{text-decoration:none}}@keyframes m{0%{opacity:0}}b,s{animation:m 0s 1s both}s{animation-name:l}

Answer 3

HTML + JavaScript, 18 + 59 = 77 bytes

setTimeout('O.innerHTML="<s>La La Land</s> Moonlight"',1e3)

<p id=O>La La Land

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be an efficient way to reuse O.innerHTML...

Answer 4

Octave, 81 66 bytes

15 bytes saved thanks to @Stewie

text(0,.5,'La La Land');pause(1);text(0,.5,'---------- Moonlight')

Online Demo Here.

While the demo shows two separate plots, when run in the desktop version of MATLAB, it shows the first plot, waits 1 second, and then adds the second string to the same plot.

Since Octave doesn't have support for strike through text, I have instead opted to display the text within an axes object in a figure and display a "strikethrough" by displaying '--------' on top of the initial text (initial idea by @Stewie). Previously, I had actually plotted a line object to strike through 'La La Land'

Background

This answer makes use of control characters and ANSI escape sequences.

• 0d (<CR>) is used to return to the beginning of the liner after printing La La Land.

• 9b 39 6d (<CSI> 9 m) is used to activate strike-through text before printing La La Land for the second time.

• 9b 6d (<CSI> m) is used to reset foreground and background to default mode, thus deactivating strike-through, before printing Moonlight.

SCREEN 9

SLEEP 1
LINE(0,7)-(80,7)
?" Moonlight

Using graphics mode, draw an actual line through the text. Here's what it looks like in QB64:

The code should be pretty self-explanatory, but here's an ungolfed version:

SCREEN 9             ' One of several graphics modes
PRINT "La La Land";  ' The semicolon suppresses the trailing newline
SLEEP 1
LINE (0,7)-(80,7)
PRINT " Moonlight"

Answer 8

MATL, 46 bytes

'La La Land'tDlY.ttv45HY(`t@Y)' Moonlight'hXxDT

Since MATL doesn't have support for control codes or text formatting, this solution simply alternates between 'La La Land' and '-----------' as fast as possible to simulate strikethrough text.

Explanation

'La La Land'   % Push the string literal to the stack
tD             % Duplicate this string and display
tv             % Stack a version of this string on top of another
45HY(          % Replace the second one with '----------'
`              % Do...while loop
  t            % Duplicate the 2D character array
  @Y)          % Grab the row corresponding to the loop index (modular indexing)
  ' Moonlight' % Push the string literal to the stack
  h            % Horizontally concatenate the two
  Xx           % Clear the display
  D            % Display the string
  T            % Push a literal TRUE to the stack to make it an infinite loop

Answer 9

Bash + pv, 50 bytes

printf ♪La\ La\ Land›%b 9m\\0 m\ Moonlight|pv -0L1

This builds on @DigitalTrauma's Bash answer.

♪ represents a carriage return (0x0d), › a CSI byte (0x9b).

Hexdump

0000000: 70 72 69 6e 74 66 20 0d 4c 61 5c 20 4c 61 5c 20  printf .La\ La\
0000010: 4c 61 6e 64 9b 25 62 20 39 6d 5c 5c 30 20 6d 5c  Land.%b 9m\\0 m\
0000020: 20 4d 6f 6f 6e 6c 69 67 68 74 7c 70 76 20 2d 30   Moonlight|pv -0
0000030: 4c 31                                            L1

Verification

How it works

printf repeats its format string as many times as needed to exhaust its other arguments. Since there is one occurrence of %b and two arguments (9m\\0 and m\ Moonlight), it will produce the following byte stream.

\rLa La Land\x9b9m\0\rLa La Land\x9bm Moonlight

This does the following.

• \r brings the cursor to the start of the line.

• La La Land is printed verbatim.

• \x9b9m activates strike-through text.

• \0 sets an end-of-line marker for pv -0.

• \rLa La Land does the same as before.

• \x9bm reset foreground and background to default mode, deactivating strike-through.

• Moonlight is printed verbatim.

Finally, pv -0L1 prints one null-terminated line per second, introducing the desired delay.

Answer 15

GNU sed + sleep, 63 58 bytes

Edit: saved 5 bytes, based on Digital Trauma's comments

Waiting between two print statements can't be done using sed alone, and as such I call sleep 1. It is possible to do a system call from sed, using the e command, which is a GNU extension.

s:$:La La Land:p
esleep 1
s:.:&̶:g
s:.*:\c[[A& Moonlight:

To create strike-through text (line 3), a "combining long stroke overlay", U+0336, is appended to each character. After that, I move the cursor up 1 line, effectively replacing the old text when printing something new, using the so called ANSI Escape Sequences. These are interpreted by the terminal as special formatting commands. You can find more information about them here.

Explanation:

s:$:La La Land:p         # add "La La Land" to pattern space and print it
esleep 1                 # run system command 'sleep 1'
s:.:&̶:g                  # append U+0336 after each character (strike-through)
s:.*:\c[[A& Moonlight:   # '\c[[A' is '(escape)[A', ANSI code to move the cursor
                         #up 1 line. Then append ' Moonlight' and print on exit.

void c()throws Exception{System.out.print("La La Land");Thread.sleep(1000);System.out.print("\rL̶a̶ ̶L̶a̶ ̶L̶a̶n̶d̶ Moonlight");}

I'm kinda cheating with this first answer, because I use strike-through unicode.

Explanation:

void c() throws Exception{         // Method (throws is necessary due to Thread.sleep)
  System.out.print("La La Land");  //  Show initial text
  Thread.sleep(1000);              //  Wait 1 second
  System.out.print("\r             //  Move 'cursor' to the start of the line so we can overwrite the current text
    L̶a̶ ̶L̶a̶ ̶L̶a̶n̶d̶ Moonlight");        //  and print new text
}                                  // End of method

Java 7 (with AWT), 444 429 341 bytes

import java.awt.*;import java.text.*;void m(){new Frame(){public void paint(Graphics g){g.drawString("La La Land",9,50);try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch(Exception e){}AttributedString s=new AttributedString("La La Land Moonlight");s.addAttribute(java.awt.font.TextAttribute.STRIKETHROUGH,1>0,0,10);g.drawString(s.getIterator(),9,50);}}.show();}

Since Java console doesn't have any markup like strike-through, you'll have to use Java AWT. And well, if you thought Java Console was already verbose, then this is even worse (I know, I know, most of you couldn't even imagined Java 7 being any worse..)

  new Frame(){                                             //  Frame
    public void paint(Graphics g){                         //   Overridden paint method
      g.drawString("La La Land", 9, 50);                   //    Show the initial text
      try{
        Thread.sleep(1000);                                //    Wait 1 second
      }catch(Exception e){}                                //    Thread.sleep requires a try-catch..
      AttributedString s
          = new AttributedString("La La Land Moonlight");  //    Object to add markup to text
      s.addAttribute(
        java.awt.font.TextAttribute.STRIKETHROUGH,         //    Strike-through attribute
        1>0,//true                                         //    Mandatory parameter before we can specify the length
        0, 10);                                            //    From length 0 to 10 (length of "La La Land")
      g.drawString(s.getIterator(), 9, 50);                //    Show this new text with strike-through part
    }                                                      //   End of paint method

Use Unicode (U+0336) to strike-through, because the macOS terminal doesn't support that \e[9m command.

import time
s='La La Land '
print(s,end='\r')
time.sleep(1)
print('̶'.join(s),'Moonlight')

I cheated a bit to get strikethrough text by using the combining long stroke overlay unicode character. This may create an odd appearance depending on your setup. Notepad gives a good appearance.

AutoHotkey is clearly not the most efficient language for this but it was a fun challenge. Be careful where you run it because it doesn't create it's own display and wipes all the text of whatever window is active.

Note that this uses the TI-84+ CE ability with the newest OS to pause for 1 second. This will return a synthax error on the TI-84+. For testing, you can omit the 1 second pause by removing that line. Also remember to press Zoom, 6 first so that you are on default window settings, otherwise the line command won't work.

Replace the ⎋ with an escape character and ↩︎ with a carriage return. OIL lacks any kind of sleep command, so I emulate it using a loop that counts down from 89999 to 1. It takes about one second on my computer, but it may not on yours.

The first 3 lines are ignored by the interpreter, it then prints (4) the second line (line 1; "La La Land"). The following structure is the loop that decrements the large number at the end until it's equal to 1. In the end, I just print the first 3 lines.

Answer 29

PHP, not competing (64 bytes)

<?=$s="\rLa La Land",sleep(1)?:wordwrap($s,1,--,1)," Moonlight";

uses UTF-8: -- stands for U+0336 - but I am pretty certain that it does not work standing alone.

If it does not, try ~"1I" or ~I1 instead of -- (+3 or +1 bytes).

No time to store it to a file or figure out how to set my console to UTF-8; so I couldn´t test either of these; but whoever can: please let me know wether this is complete BS or not.
