Draw the initial positions of Mölkky pins in ASCII art

Question

Write a function (or a whole program) that outputs (or prints) an ASCII art of the initial position of Mölkky pins.

Output :

    __    __    __
 __(07)__(09)__(08)__
(05)__(11)__(12)__(06)
|  (03)__(10)__(04)  |
|  |  (01)  (02)  |  |
|__|  |  |  |  |  |__|
   |__|  |__|  |__|
      |__|  |__|

Rules :

• This is code-golf, so the shortest solution in bytes wins!
• Trailing spaces are allowed on each line
• Additional leading spaces (meaning, without counting the already mandatory leading spaces) are allowed only if there are the same number of additional leading spaces in each of the 8 mandatory lines
• Additional newlines are allowed at the beginning and at the end. These additional lines can contain any number of spaces

Thanks to Arnauld for the ASCII art and his advices concerning the challenge!

Despite the risk of just having to hardcode and/or compress the output, i hope the challenge will be interesting enough!

I intend to post my own answer in Javascript, but since i forced myself to do it without hardcoding, it has become quite long :')

@B

$""E""Q$6Q%Q$35Q#'.hex().translate(['__','|  ','  ',*'\n| ','(%02x)']*9)%(*b'	
',))

Explanation

This is a two-step compression. A dictionary coding is first applied so that certain chunks of recurring text is mapped to some number. The specific mapping is defined as follows:

0 -> '(%02x)'
1 -> '__'
2 -> '|  '
3 -> '  '
4 -> '\n'
5 -> '|'
6 -> ' '

The %02xs are converted to their corresponding values at the end by using a % formatting

The compressed string we get after applying the table above is 331331331461010101401010104201010324220303224512222251243651251251243335125123. This string can then be uncompressed by using str.translate().

A nice trick to compress this by roughly half is to use the bytes.fromhex() function, which interprets the string as a sequence of hex digits and converts it to a byte-string. Then to decode, we can use the inverse function, bytes.hex(). Fortunately, all of the hex digits are below 8, so we can represent all the bytes directly without using any escape codes.

Try it online!

Encoding

The ASCII art is split into 8 distinct patterns of 3 characters:

0: "(0x"    4: ")  "
1: "(1x"    5: ")__"
2: "   "    6: "|  "
3: " __"    7: "|__"

The leading character of the \$n\$-th pattern is picked from the lookup string "( )|" at index \$\lfloor n/2\rfloor\$.

If \$n>1\$, it is followed by either " " (2 spaces) if \$n\$ is even, or "__" if \$n\$ is odd.

If \$n\le1\$, we append \$n\$ as the tens digit and pick the units digit from the lookup string "_798512630412", using the initially undefined argument \$i\$ of the function as a counter.

Each letter in the hardcoded string corresponds to a triple of characters, of one of " )|\n" followed by two copies of a space or underscore. The unprintable special characters correspond to pin numbers via their ASCII value. They're printed padded to two digits and preceded by an (.

Here's a version without unprintables:

An alternative method with less hardcoding that turned out longer. Creates the ASCII art by starting with a blank canvas overlaying rectangles like this:

There's some unprintable characters in the string, you should be able to see them on TIO.

*: I wasn't able to insert some characters on TIO, you have to encode each octal char in the string as a single byte instead of an escape code. Here's the string and a bash script to build it locally:

A full program that creates a canvas of 8 lines of 22 spaces and a newline, modifies it by adding the pins one by one from top to bottom, and then prints it.

The characters in the magic string are in the format (number of characters to advance from the previous pin) * 13 + (value of pin)

It should be possible to golf this quite a bit by drawing each pin line by line from top to bottom using a loop instead of hardcoding each line of the pin.

Not good enough to compete with the xnors and dingledoopers of this world but I still kind of like it.

How?

Uses the approximate facts that the figure is left-right symmetric and each half's lines can be obtained sequentially by shifting the previous line by three characters (up to a wobble in the centre) to "procedurally" generate the figure. The final number insertion is stolen from dingledooper.

Explanation

We first convert the encoded string into a list via string->list. We pass this to map which passes the encoded character c a lambda function to test whether c matches any defined options. If it does, we return the corresponding string, otherwise we just return c as is. After the map is finished, we join all the results together and display the single string.

(let ([? char=?])
  (displayln
   (string-join
    (map (lambda (c)
           (cond [(? c #\a) "    "]
                 [(? c #\b) "__"]
                 [(? c #\c) "\n"]
                 [(? c #\d) "__(0"]
                 [(? c #\e) ")__(0"]
                 [(? c #\f) ")__\n(0"]
                 [(? c #\g) ")__(1"]
                 [(? c #\h) "|  (0"]

How?

Creates each pin in the correct location on its own using characters below ( and greater than in an order* such that they may then be merged using » (maximum) and finally translates this string into one with the expected characters.

* Also uses different characters for the _ at the top of a pin and the _ at the bottom of a pin so they merge in a different order.
