You have to write a program or a function in any language that outputs this pattern:

~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~
|~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|
||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~||
|||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|||
||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~||||
|||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|||||
||||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~||||||
|||||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|||||||
||||||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~||||||||
|||||||||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|||||||||
||||||||||~|||||||||||||||||||~|||||||||||||||||||~||||||||||
|||||||||||~|||||||||||||||||~|~|||||||||||||||||~|||||||||||
||||||||||||~|||||||||||||||~|||~|||||||||||||||~||||||||||||
|||||||||||||~|||||||||||||~|||||~|||||||||||||~|||||||||||||
||||||||||||||~|||||||||||~|||||||~|||||||||||~||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||~|||||||||~|||||||||~|||||||||~|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||~|||||||~|||||||||||~|||||||~||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||~|||||~|||||||||||||~|||||~|||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||~|||~|||||||||||||||~|||~||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||~|~|||||||||||||||||~|~|||||||||||||||||||

The output is composed of 20 lines of 61 characters each.

Rules

  • Standard loopholes are forbidden
  • There may be a single trailing newline at the end of the output
  • There may not be any trailing whitespace on any line of the output

Without a trailing newline, the md5 checksum of the output is fde4e3b4606bf9f8c314131c93988e96.

With a trailing newline, the md5 checksum of the output is 1f0b43db4fec6594be202c8339024cb7.

This is , so the shortest code in bytes wins.

C (gcc), 97 82 81 80 bytes

Golfed 15 bytes after learning that abs is a builtin in C, an additional byte thanks to Rogem for pointing out that the declarations of my variables can be moved to the function, and another byte thanks to ceilingcat for suggesting x=31;--x+31 instead of x=-31;++x<31.

f(x,y){for(y=21;--y;puts(""))for(x=31;--x+31;)printf(abs(10-abs(x))-y?"|":"~");}

Try it online!

This outputs with a trailing newline. The function f does the outputting.

Explanation

The output can be stated as a graph.

~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||+|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~
|~||||||||||||||||||||||||||||+||||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|
||~|||||||||||||||||||||||||||+|||||||||||||||||||||||||||~||
|||~||||||||||||||||||||||||||+||||||||||||||||||||||||||~|||

|||||||||||||||~|||||||||~||||+||||~|||||||||~|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||~|||||||~|||||+|||||~|||||||~||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||~|||~|||||||+|||||||~|||~||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||~|~|||||||||||||||||~|~|||||||||||||||||||
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(The +s are only shown for explanation purposes and represent the axes.)

The equation of this graph is \$y=\text{abs}(10-\text{abs}(x))\$ as can be seen here in this link to a Desmos graph.

abs(10 - abs(x))
abs(           )            Reflect whatever is beneath the x-axis to above the x-axis
    10 - abs(x)             This forms the central triangle-like structure

In function f, we have two for-loops that iterate through every coordinate in this graph. y goes from 20 to 1 and x goes from -30 to 30.

For every x, we check if abs(10-abs(x)) equals y by doing abs(10-abs(x))-y in a ternary. If they are equal, this yields 0, a falsey value in C, otherwise it will evaluate to some positive value. Then in the ternary abs(10-abs(x))-y?"|":"~", we printf accordingly.

And after each line, we output a newline using puts(""), and that is how the function outputs with a trailing newline.

Follows the same principle as the C answer given above. The first line is the abs function, second line runs two for loops and outputs ~ or | based on the graph. The last "" is used to output a newline after each loop on y.

AÆhX'~

Set V to the range [0,9] () mapped by:
U (implicit) with the character at index X (current value) set to (h) ~.

VméA

Set W to V with each line rotated 10 (A) chars right.

VpWUVmw

Create array: V, W, U, and V with each line reversed (w). This is now the left half of the shape, rotated 90° left.

Flatten the array (c), palendromize it (ê), rotate 90° right (z), and join with newlines (·).

Some changes where made during minification, all of which makes the program less extendable but smaller.

Try it: https://tio.run/##PY7LCoMwEEX3@YqQVVJTcWwRCp0vKV1oNa1QJ0UjGPr49TRq6eoO91wOcx/LEDp8vs1IF9da4lc5aa9aI6djkSt3a4h1pynxmwLOKD5iJog7sD2Pmf9yD@u0QrKOV6yhmkVTAtonUla8pHoLKm5BqZmtHHSmTCw9ZhoOvLZsQCHMogRdwNoMaSr/L9hevMSiePQtOTnMdwhf

I'm not sure if anyone has done this before, but I tried minifying by loading the program as a string and using gsub(search/replace). Unfortainitly, it made the program bigger. However, if this program was big enough, it would yield in less bytes.

g=string.gsub
loadstring(g(g(g('m={}function g(x,y)if(x<62vm[x+y*61]="~"if(x==31zx==21zx==41vb=not beg(x+1,y+((b and-1)z1))eeg(1,0)fzy=0,19 do s=""fzx=1,61 do s=s..(m[x+y*61]z"|")eprint(s)e','e',' end '),'v',')then '),'z','or '))()

Due to its relative closeness with the real result(240 bytes, only 41 more), I figured I'd post it. If this program where 350+ bytes, there would have likely been a reduction.

Java 8, 113 bytes

v->{String r="";for(int i=-1,j;++i<20;r+="\n")for(j=61;j-->0;)r+=j==i|j+i==60|i>9&(j-i==20|j+i==40)?"~":"|";return r;}

I have the feeling the checks (j==i|j+i==60|i>9&(j-i==20|j+i==40) can definitely be golfed by somehow combining multiple checks into one.

Explanation:

Try it here.

v->{                    // Method with empty unused parameters and String return-type
  String r="";          //  Result-String
  for(int i=-1,j;       //  Index integers
      ++i<20;           //  Loop (1) from 0 to 20 (exclusive)
      r+="\n")          //    After every iteration: append a new-line to the result-String
    for(j=61;           //   Reset `j` to 61
        j-->0;)         //   Inner loop (2) from 60 down to 0 (inclusive)
      r+=               //    Append the result-String with:
         j==i           //     If `j` and `i` are equal (top-right /),
         |j+i==60       //     or `j` + `i` is 60 (top-left \),
         |i>9           //     or we're at the bottom halve
          &(j-i==20     //      and `j` - `i` is 20 (bottom left \),
            |j+i==40)?  //      or `j` + `i` is 40 (bottom right /)
          "~"           //       Append a literal "~" to the result-String
         :              //     Else:
          "|";          //      Append a literal "|" to the result-String
                        //   End of inner loop (2) (implicit / single-line body)
                        //  End of loop (1) (implicit / single-line body)
  return r;             //  Return the result-String
}                       // End of method

Still much ungolfed, but I will evolve it after:

puts $s
