This challenge is pretty simple: Your task is to draw a schematic of a (simplified) memory array. You will be given two (positive) integers n,m and the task is to draw the n:2^n decoder connected to the memory array with d data lines.

The addressing will be in the order of gray codes, to check if the sequence is correct, see A014550. For simplicity there are no input ports, write ports etc. On the top of the decoder you need to specify its type (e.g. 2:4) and you will label the data lines with d:[d-1],...,d:1,d:0. If the cray code wouldn't fit the decoder width, you'll need to expand the width, see the last two examples.

Rules

  • Leading whitespaces are not allowed
  • Trailing whitespaces are allowed
  • At the end of the output there may be one or several newlines
  • You can assume the following constraints on the input 0 < n and 0 < d <= 1e4
  • The output is either printed to the console or you write a function that returns a newline-separated string
  • For invalid input the behaviour of your program/function is left undefined

Test cases

n = 1, d = 1

  • \$\begingroup\$ what specifies the decoders width? From the examples it looks like its the width of the n:2^n + 2, but do we need to extend it when the gray node representation wouldn't fit in it (e.g. n=10, len(10:1024)+2 = 9, gray node repr length = 10) \$\endgroup\$ – dzaima Jul 22 '17 at 12:54
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes you'd need to extend it in that case, I'll add an example. \$\endgroup\$ – ბიმო Jul 22 '17 at 13:07
  • \$\begingroup\$ in that case, how should the decoder type be centered/anchored? \$\endgroup\$ – dzaima Jul 22 '17 at 13:08
  • \$\begingroup\$ Anchored to the left, but with a space. See examples I added. \$\endgroup\$ – ბიმო Jul 22 '17 at 13:14
  • \$\begingroup\$ Summing up, the width would be max(len(n:2^n)+4,len(graycode)+3). The decoder name is always separated with one space from the left and the codes are right aligned without spaces. \$\endgroup\$ – ბიმო Jul 22 '17 at 13:18

  • \$\begingroup\$ Well it's a fairly complicated pattern compared with other ASCII-art challenges, I think under 200 bytes is quite good. Unfortunately I couldn't test it for n > 8 but it looks good! \$\endgroup\$ – ბიმო Jul 22 '17 at 18:24

ＮνＮδＡＸ²νηＡ⪫⟦θ:Ｉη ⟧ωθＡ⌈⟦νＬθ⟧ζ

Sets up the variables used in the rest of the code. ν and δ are the inputs, η is 2ν, θ is the label at the top of the box, while ζ is one less than the width of the box.

←“ E*lÿxγ∨P3ζgRＵ#@˜R2$⁴⟧”

This compressed string represents the bottom left decoder. This is the one that's most representative, although ironically it first gets printed in the top right and then copied left and down.

Ｆ⁻δ¹Ｃ±⁶¦⁰↓←|

The decoder is repeated horizontally, and the --( at the top right of the last decoder is changed to a |.

Ｆ⁻η¹Ｃ⁰¦⁵Ｐ←×⁺+×-⁵δ⸿Ｐ|  ←Ｍ×⁵η↓

The decoder is then repeated vertically, and the (s in the top row are changed to -s (if you look carefully you'll see that too many -s are printed but fortunately the last one gets overwritten by the 0 of the address), after which the |s for the top right decoder are removed. 

Ｆδ«Ｐ⁺d:ιＭ⁶←»

The decoders are numbered right-to-left.

↑←'-←ζ↑`↑²↑×⁵η.-Ｐ⁺¶θζ↓.↓²Ｐ↓×⁵η←
