Display "Happy Easter!"

Question

Your task is to print the following ASCII Art:

 _     _                            _______                           _ 
| |   | |                          (_______)          _              | |
| |__ | | ____ ____  ____  _   _    _____   ____  ___| |_  ____  ____| |
|  __)| |/ _  |  _ \|  _ \| | | |  |  ___) / _  |/___)  _)/ _  )/ ___)_|
| |   | ( ( | | | | | | | | |_| |  | |____( ( | |___ | |_( (/ /| |    _ 
|_|   |_|\_||_| ||_/| ||_/ \__  |  |_______)_||_(___/ \___)____)_|   |_|
              |_|   |_|   (____/

Remember, this is code-golf, so the code with the smallest amount of bytes wins. Good luck.

@FryAmTheEggman this is quite different from the supposed duplicate Rickroll. Only a few symbols are used: |()/\_ which leads to completely different forms of compression. We have had similar ASCII art challenges before, but I'd like to see this question run to see if anyone takes advantage of the geometry. On the other hand it's not hugely remarkable, and you'r right, we don't need an Easter tag. — Level River St, Mar 27, 2016 at 1:06
@FryAmTheEggman The best solution to a kolmogorov-complexity depends heavily on the structure of the output. This isn't text, so it isn't a dupe. — lirtosiast, Mar 27, 2016 at 1:08
@lirtosiast The limited character set might matter, but I feel like this will almost certainly be dominated by the same techniques as in the text based questions. That's just my opinion though, the community gets to decide which of our views to enforce, after all. — FryAmTheEggman, Mar 27, 2016 at 1:25
This is different, as there is no input, and so it is not necessary to take input and analyze it. — thepiercingarrow, Mar 29, 2016 at 15:59

Figured I'd give it a shot. Compresses common repeating patterns in the text.

BinaryFuck, 565 378 bytes

This basically stores the characters used in the array, then navigates through the array, printing them accordingly. Currently quite long, will shorten it up.

That's not how a byte count works. If you can't pass the exact sequence of bytes to the interpreter, you can't claim that number of bytes as your byte count. — Doorknob, Mar 27, 2016 at 15:13
If there is a BF-interpreter which takes in 3-bits/char. Please add a link to the interpreter and a hexdump/pastebin of the encoded code, if you wish to claim 565 bytes. — Downgoat, Mar 27, 2016 at 15:23
Yes, there is a 3-bit brainfuck interpreter. Add a link to this in your answer along with a hexdump/binary representation of your code. The language wouldn't be brainfuck anymore so you'd have to specify "CompressedFuck" in the header. I recommend keeping it as-is as when seeing brainfuck people don't expect it to be very short. — Downgoat, Mar 27, 2016 at 15:28
This doesn't look like a valid BinaryFuck program; it doesn't start with a 1. Please provide a link to an interpreter and the hexdump of the source code so your results can be reproduced. — Dennis, Mar 27, 2016 at 16:12
If you're going to claim 3 bits per instruction as per Binaryfuck, you need to post the Binaryfuck source code (probably in a hex dump or base64-encoded) and calculate bytes based off of that. As it stands, this submission is a brainfuck submission with 1012 bytes, of which 3 are extraneous (the newlines). — user45941, May 29, 2016 at 8:14

For completeness this is my effort to use a different compression method, although as it turns out it's not as efficient as run length encoding. Each digit specifies that the last N already generated characters are repeated. Subsequent digits can repeat already repeated characters, e.g. | 23 turns into | | |. I only wish I could compress a run of three characters.

f=(s=` _  26  2479__23   2499_

Simple encoding of the ten most (as far as I can tell) common substrings. They are not in order because of overlaps; my encoder (below) needs to see e.g. '_ ' and ' _' before ' '.

(s,a,t=s)=>a.map((t,i)=>s=s.split(t).join(i))&&[s,(b=>{b=new Map;for(i=0;i<s.length;i++)for(j=0;j<i;j++)b.set(s.slice(j,i),s.length-s.split(s.slice(j,i)).join().length-i+j-1);return[for(x of b)if(x[1]>0&&!/\d/.test(x[0]))x].sort(([a,b],[c,d])=>b-d)})(),t.length-(s+' '+a).length]

This takes a string and an array of substrings to encode and returns a) the encoded string b) the list of potential next savings c) the number of bytes saved so far.

Try it here (Firefox only).

Well, at least the char count is great, but we can't use the custom code page. It's just an LZString-decompression. I'm also working on another solution - more on that later.

The rest of the compression rules

So, the list of compression rules:

Compress two spaces to a.
Compress __ to b.
Compress | to c.
Compress aa to d.
Compress bb to e.
Compress cc to f.
Compress dd to g.
Compress |c to h.
Compress \/ to i. Both the \ and the / in the rules are further escaped.
Compress b_ to j.
Compress |a to k.
Compress _ to l.
Compress // to m.

As you can see, there are overlapping compression rules. For example, g encodes dd which encodes aaaa which encodes 8 spaces.

If you want to sound drunk but don't have any alcohol in reach just try pronouncing one of these. proven to work on parents — cat, Jun 28, 2016 at 3:29

 o+="\n _|()\/"[j&7]*(j/8+1)
print o

Uses a version of run length encoding with 3 bits for a symbol from the set "\n _|()/". The remainder of the byte is the length, but I have limited the length to 10 and manipulated it so that the results are printable characters that are valid in a python string without any escaping.

Replacing the string corresponding with "| " with a single character in the encoded data saves a few more bytes.

I removed the trailing spaces on lines 1 and 5, which may be bending the rules a bit, but seems practical.

This program generates the packed data:

message="""

while i<size:

    while count<10 and i+count+1<size and message[i+count+1]==message[i]:
        count+=1
    n = symbols.find(message[i]) | count<<3
    encoded+=chr(n+40)
    i+=count+1

similar to the javascript answer, used RLE plus a bunch of replacements for common substrings.

((((((//

Stores a bunch of base-36 numbers in the first string, delimited by a ! separator. Then replaces the numbers (along with the !) with the numbers' base-4 representations. Replaces all the 0's, 1's, and 2's in the base-4 number with _, , and | respectively, and all the 3's are replaced with the elements in the second string sequentially.

\$\begingroup\$ Here's a couple quick tips after one glance over. 1. You do <number>a <esc> a lot. If you do yl on a space, you could replace this with <number>p. That should save around 8. 2. You could replace ea with A. You could probably take even more if you change your approach, but those are the quick tips I see. \$\endgroup\$

Rundown

We define an alphabet of 8 symbols, " _|/\\()\n", and compress the data by packing two symbols per byte according to its index in the alphabet, with the first symbol in bits 0..2, and the second in 3..5. Bit 6 is set to bring the resulting byte into printable ASCII territory. A simple RLE is then run on the compressed string. If a symbol in the string occurs more than twice in a row, it is stored as a character pair, with the first containing the run-length plus 32 (bit 5 set) and the second the symbol itself.

f(i){                                               i is run-length; not actually passed to f()
    for(                                            Loop over compressed string.

        i=*s>63?:*s++;                             If char is outside symbol range, use as run-length and skip to next. Stop on EOS.
        s++)                                        Advance to next char.
            for(;i--&31;)                           Repeat symbol pair per run-length.
                printf("%c%c",A[*s&7],A[*s/8&7]);   Extract symbols from character and print.

@ceilingcat Hm. Can't be recalled without funky output. Still, tweaked it a bit and got 279 too. — gastropner, Apr 25, 2019 at 17:49

Javascript ES6, 314 bytes

Contains unprintable bytes. Uses some black JS magic to run. If console.log() is needed for this answer to be valid, the byte count will be 327.

`[parseInt(a,2)]).slice(0,-2)

This was a huge pain to get right, and I couldn't manage to get rid of the .slice(0,-2) :(
Will edit in an explanation tomorrow when I'm less tired.

Replaced every single byte with the corresponding hex value in order for the code snippet to be able to run

If console.log() is required, then byte count is ~~307~~305 bytes.

294->292, -2B for encoding \n to 7.
