# Draw the arc of a ball

Draw the parabolic trajectory of a thrown ball.

The input is the ball's initial upward velocity, a positive integer v. Every second, the ball moves 1 space right and v spaces vertically, and then v decreases by 1 to due to gravity. So, the upward velocity eventually steps down from v to 0 and down to -v, finally falling back down to its initial height.

The ball's positions trace a parabola. At horizontal position x, its height is y=x*(2*v+1-x)/2, with (0,0) the ball's initial position at the bottom left.

Output ASCII art of the ball's trajectory with O's on the coordinates it ever occupies. The output should be a single multi-line piece of text, not an animation of the path over time.

The output should have no leading newlines and at most one trailing newline. The bottom line should be flush with the left edge of the screen, i.e. have no extra leading spaces. Trailing spaces are OK. You may assume the output line width fits in the output terminal.

# Charcoal, 1816 13 bytes

Ｆ⊕Ｎ«←OＭ⊕ι↓»‖Ｃ


## Explanation

Ｆ⊕Ｎ«        »    For ι (implicitly from 0) to (1 + input as number)
←O          Print O, with print direction rotated 180 degrees
Ｍ⊕ι↓     Move 1+ ι units down

‖Ｃ Reflect (in the default direction, right), leaving original intact


Try it online! Link is to verbose code.

• I like this one a lot, +1; Also OP's output uses uppercase "O". (Not that it matters at all lol) – Albert Renshaw Mar 2 '17 at 3:46
• If you use ↘O then you can loop from 0 to N inclusive instead which saves you two bytes immediately. – Neil Nov 2 '18 at 9:35
• @Neil Thanks! Also, this is a very old post :P (and I wonder if I should be using newer features. Probably not?) – ASCII-only Nov 4 '18 at 4:25
• Strictly speaking I've only saved you 1 byte so far as the other two bytes were you replacing ⁺¹ with ⊕. However now that you've moved the ← from the ‖Ｃ to the O you can save another byte by writing ↙OＭι↓, so I'm back up to a two byte saving again. – Neil Nov 4 '18 at 10:36
• Also you forgot to update your TIO link. And technically I believe we now allow newer features, but I can't claim credit for those bytes. – Neil Nov 4 '18 at 10:39

# C, 93 92

(Note, someone got to 87 in the comments)

y,n;f(s){for(y=0;y<=s;){printf("%*c%*c",s-y+1,79,y*2+1,79);for(n=++y;s+1-n&&n--;)puts("");}}


Try it online!

y,n;f(s){
for(y=0;y<=s;){
printf("%*c%*c",s-y+1,79,y*2+1,79);
for(n=++y;s+1-n&&n--;)puts("");
}
}


Notes:

I can collapse both for loops into just one for loop by iterating the total number of lines outputted, which is given by the formula: n*-~n/2+1

y,n,r;f(s){
for(r=s,y=n=0;r<s*-~s/2+1;)
y==n?printf("%*c%*c",s-y+1,79,y*2+1,79),y=0,++n:r++,y++,puts("");
}


But it ends up being even more bytes than just using two seperate for-loops

• You can save one byte by incrementing s at the beginning, like this: y,n;f(s){++s;for(y=0;y<s;){printf("%*c%*c",s-y,79,y*2+1,79);for(n=++y;s-n&&n--;)puts("");}} – Steadybox Mar 2 '17 at 11:12
• @Steadybox won't compile for me. Also I got 90 bytes when I counted that (after removing whitespace characters) – Albert Renshaw Mar 2 '17 at 11:21
• All I did was adding the ++s; at the beginning and then changing y<=s to y<s and s-y+1 to s-y and s+1-n to s-n, so it should compile (and should be 91 bytes). – Steadybox Mar 2 '17 at 11:35
• It seems that there is something wrong with the encoding of the code block in my comment. Copying and pasting the code from the comment won't compile for me either. – Steadybox Mar 2 '17 at 11:36

Input is in unary, as a string of spaces - the length of string is the input.

# Python 2, 76 bytes

x=input()
for i in range(x):print' '*(x-i),'O'+' '*i*2+'O'+'\n'*(i-x+1and i)


Pretty simple. The i-x+1and i is to prevent a bunch of trailing newlines.

• Moving the newline to the beginning of the print, like '\n'*(i-1)saves 7 bytes while avoiding the trailing newlines. – Emigna Mar 2 '17 at 10:11

# JavaScript (ES6), 98928984 78 bytes

(-20 bytes thanks to Arnauld!)

f=(v,i=0)=>i>v?"":" "[r="repeat"](v-i)+0+" "[r](2*i)+0+
[r](i++<v&&i)+f(v,i)


A recursive solution. This is also my first ever answer in JavaScript, so please be gentle! I am still learning all this neat language has to offer, so golfing tips are very much appreciated. :)

## Test Snippet

You may need to scroll to see the entire output.

f=(v,i=0)=>i>v?"":" "[r="repeat"](v-i)+0+" "[r](2*i)+0+
[r](i++<v&&i)+f(v,i)
<input id=i min=1 type=number><button onclick=alert(f(document.getElementById("i").value))>Submit</button>

• Also, including variables inside backtick strings with ${} only saves bytes when the variable part is surrounded by static parts. As such, these strings should always start and end with static parts. – Luke Mar 2 '17 at 14:54 • @Arnauld Thanks for all the tips! I really appreciate it! :) – R. Kap Mar 2 '17 at 18:52 • @Luke Thanks for the advice. That will come in handy. :) – R. Kap Mar 2 '17 at 18:52 • You can safely use 0 instead of "0". They'll be coerced to strings. And on second thought: i++<v&&i is actually one byte shorter than (i<v)*++i. – Arnauld Mar 3 '17 at 15:34 • @Arnauld Thank you once again! :) – R.

And just so you know, the community consensus is that for languages with autoformatting, you may count before it is autoformatted, meaning after you make these changes you should have a byte count of 85 Bytes – Taylor Scott Mar 28 '17 at 23:03 • On a second look, this is a snippet - not a function or subroutine; so it is not a valid solution. I believe that you could fix this by converting it an Excel VBA immediate window function and taking input from [A1] (v=[A1]) Also, I don't think you actually need the s variable. – Taylor Scott Sep 8 '17 at 14:37 • @TaylorScott That seems like an obvious improvement in retrospect but I did not know that concatenation did not require an operator in the immediate window. That'll save me some bytes in the future. I did have to add a ; to the end of the print command, though, because it kept adding an extra line break by default.
