Rules

  • Your program must create the image and not just load it from a website

  • The colours can be just your language's default if it is very difficult / impossible to load RGB values, else they should be: red: (255,0,0), orange: (255,140,0), yellow: (255,240,0), green: (0,138,40), (dark) blue: (0,80,255), purple: (120,0,140), black: (0,0,0), brown: (100,50,20), (light) blue: (110,220,240), pink: (255,180,200), white: (255,255,255)

  • The flag can be a scaled up version of the one shown, but the dimensions given are the smallest size allowed. An error of 1 pixel is allowed.

  • Please include an image of the output of your program.

This post was (somewhat) inspired by this one.

    \$\begingroup\$ but the dimensions given are the smallest size allowed -> graphical-output challenges are good candidates for answers on old-school systems such as Commodore 64/128, Atari ST, Apple ][, etc. But 1059x672 is too large for them. :-/ \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Arnauld I've given an answer in BBC BASIC, but it's on an enhanced emulator with higher resolution and more colours. The original BBC BASIC considered coordinates of 1280x1024 for the screen but the actual resolution was less (and varied depending on the screen mode selected.) This was one of many features included to allow for future expansion. \$\endgroup\$ Jul 3, 2022 at 0:32

Attempt this online! (you must set encoding to Base64)

Outputs a PPM image.

BBC Basic 210 190 bytes

Golfing mainly comprises removal of unnecessary whitespace and use of abbreviations for keywords. At one point VDU25,0 is condensed to a single 16-bit value V.25; (the ; delimiter denotes that the preceding value is a 16-bit value instead of 8-bit.). At another, VDU25,101 is replaced with the higher level command PLOT101

Download interpreter at https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/download.html

This interpreter has certain features not included in the original BBC basic. It allows for larger screen modes and more colours. MODE 27 is 1280x960 pixels but the coordinate system is double that at 2560x1920.

The original BBC basic had (depending in screen mode) a maximum of 16 logical colours displayed at one time (to save memory) but there was facility to change these colours to any 18-bit physical colour using VDU19. This would instantaneously change the colour of all pixels of that colour on the screen (which was useful for fast animation.) This interpreter works differently. On execution of a VDU19 colours of existing pixels do not change, only newly drawn ones, and full 24-bit colour is supported.

Selecting the colour is a major part of this code, with 33 different RGB values. Most of them are divisible by 5, so I compressed them into printable ASCII by dividing by 5 and adding 32. The one exception is 138 for the green, which is taken as a larger number mod 257

Stripes are drawn using absolute coordinates with x=1059*2=2118 at the right and x=168*2=336 at the left. This leaves the graphics cursor in the correct position at the top right of the black chevron. 19VDU25,101,i MOD2*1782+336 causes the graphics cursor to zigzag from the default location in the bottom left corner of the screen to the top left corner of the red bar. The code 101 is for a rectangle defined by its opposite corners.

Chevrons are drawn using relative coordinates as a house-shape rotated 90 degrees, comprising a triangle and a rectangle. Subsequent chevrons overdraw the house shape to produce the correct chevron shape.

The graphics cursor is already at top right from the previous operation. It moves diagonally to the centre right point VDU25,0,h;-h;, then a triangle is drawn linking the last two positions of the graphics cursor to the bottom right VDU25,81,-h;-h;. The shape is completed by drawing a rectangle to the top left VDU25,97,-168;h*2; which leaves the cursor in the correct position for the next chevron.

After the brown chevron, certain parts of the final three chevrons are off the left side of the screen and are therefore not plotted.
