Fill the Bucket

Question

Your task is to fill the bucket with numbers upto a given input.

Rules

Numbers occupy the leftmost position then rightmost, then leftmost and so on.

After overflow, the numbers start to gather around the bucket in a similar manner. They occupy position diagonally.

The examples should make it clear what the expected output is (Some rules are mentioned in the examples).

For more then 10, use the rightmost digit

Examples:

The bucket: 
|      |  or |      | 
|      |     |      | 
|      |     |      |
|      |     |      |
|------|     |______|

input:1  (You can start from either 0 or 1)
output:
|      |  (There can be whitespace to the left even if there is no overflow
|      |  but the bucket must not be distorted.)
|      |
|1     |
|------|

input:6
output:
|      |
|      |
|      |
|135642|
|------|

input:8
output:
|      |
|      |
|7    8|
|135642|
|------|

input:23
output:
|913 20|
|357864|
|791208|
|135642|
|------|

input:27
output:
  |913420|
  |357864|
  |791208|
  |135642|
75|------|6

input:30
output:
  |913420|
  |357864|
  |791208|
 9|135642|0
75|------|68

input:40
output:
    |913420|
    |357864|
   5|791208|6
 939|135642|040
7175|------|6828

input:54   (Maximum input for start=1)
    3|913420|4
   13|357864|42
  915|791208|620
 7939|135642|0408
57175|------|68286

This is code-golf so shortest code wins.

Answer 2

JavaScript (ES6),  144 ... 139  137 bytes

A mathematical approach (see here for less maths).

0-indexed.

n=>(y=4,g=x=>~y?(X=x>8?17-x:x,k=X<y?g:X<5?24-(z=4+y-X)*~z+y*2:y*6+X*2-18,~X?X^5?k<0?'-':(k+=x>8)<n?k%10:' ':'|':`
`)+g(~X?-~x:!y--):'')()

How?

The output is built character by character, with \$y\$ decreasing from \$4\$ to \$0\$ and \$x\$ increasing from \$0\$ to \$18\$ on each row.

We define:

$$X=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\le 8\\17-x&\text{if }x>8\end{cases}$$

By writing the full values rather than just the unit digits, we get the following table:

 x |  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8 |  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
 X |  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8 |  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1  0 -1
---+----------------------------+-------------------------------
 4 | .. .. .. .. 52 || 18 20 22 | 23 21 19 || 53 .. .. .. .. \n
 3 | .. .. .. 50 42 || 12 14 16 | 17 15 13 || 43 51 .. .. .. \n
 2 | .. .. 48 40 34 || 6  8  10 | 11 9  7  || 35 41 49 .. .. \n
 1 | .. 46 38 32 28 || 0  2  4  | 5  3  1  || 29 33 39 47 .. \n
 0 | 44 36 30 26 24 || -- -- -- | -- -- -- || 25 27 31 37 45 \n

This table is essentially symmetric across the y-axis, except that the values on the left side are even and the values on the right side are their odd counterparts.

We define:

$$k=\begin{cases}24+(4+y-X)(5+y-X)+2y&\text{if }X<5\\6y+2X-18&\text{if }X>5\end{cases}$$

$$k'=\begin{cases}k&\text{if }x\le 8\\k+1&\text{if }x>8\end{cases}$$

And for each cell, we append:

• a linefeed if \$X=-1\$
• a pipe if \$X=5\$
• a hyphen if \$k<0\$
• a space if \$X<y\$ or \$k'>n\$ (where \$n\$ is the input)
• \$k' \bmod 10\$ otherwise

This uses a modified version of the "preformatted" approach of some other answers. It contains a full string of the bucket, but the digits are replaced by values starting from 0xC1, while any characters for direct printing are in the range 0x01-0x7f.

The C64 charset doesn't include a pipe (|) character, it's therefore replaced with the similar-looking PETSCII character 0x7d.

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Explanation:

Ｎθ

Input the number.

³↑⁵‖Ｍ←

Draw half of the bucket and then mirror it to complete the bucket.

Ｆ²«

Loop for each side of the bucket.

‖Ｊ⁻³ι±¹

Reflect the bucket so that we can draw in a consistent direction on both loops, and jump to the position of the first digit on that side of the bucket.

Ｆ⊘⁺θ¬ι«

Loop over the number of digits on that side of the bucket.

↖Ｉ﹪⁺⊗κ⊕ιχ

Print the next digit and move the cursor up and left.

Ｍ§”)⊟E≡≦⌈▷⊖ü∕”꧔)⊟＆hXτtD(λＭ”κ

Adjust the cursor position by reading the offsets from two compressed strings, 003003003005203004000500 (horizontal offsets) and 11011011011510200300040000 (vertical offsets). These offsets take the above cursor movement into account which conveniently means that they never have to be negative.
