# Code Golf Golf Golf

### Golf Challenge

Given the below ASCII "Green".

|          |
|  |>      |
|  |       |
|  O       |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |


Let | Denote a wall
Let | Denote half the flag pole
Let > Denote the flag on the pole
Let O Denote the hole
Let o Denote the ball

The dimensions of the "Green" is 10x10. There are ten spaces between the two walls |.
There are also ten spaces, empty or not between the top and the bottom of the green.

### Challenge

Input an x and y value or generate two random numbers to "shoot" a golf ball onto the green.
If the x, y generated does not touch the hole or the flag pole/flag output "Try Again!"
If the x, y generated hits the hole output "Hole in One!"
if the x, y generated hits the pole output "Lucky Shot!"
if the x, y generated hits the flag output "Close One!"

After the shot, output the location of the ball on the green with a o, replacing any character it hit. Also output the respective saying above.

Examples:

//Hole in one example, the O was replaced with a o
Randomed x = 3
Randomed y = 4

"Hole in One!"

|          |
|  |>      |
|  |       |
|  o       |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |

//Clone example, the top half of the pole was replaced with a o
Randomed x = 3
Randomed y = 2

"Lucky Shot!"

|          |
|  o>      |
|  |       |
|  O       |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |

//Lucky Shot example, the > was replaced with a o
Randomed x = 4
Randomed y = 2

"Close One!"

|          |
|  |o      |
|  |       |
|  O       |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |

//Try Again example, the <space> was replaced with a o
Randomed x = 5
Randomed y = 1

"Try Again!"

|     o    |
|  |>      |
|  |       |
|  O       |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |
|          |


Have fun and good luck and as this is the shortest code wins!

• Is the flag / pole always at the same position? Oct 25, 2016 at 19:08
• You can leave it where it is, or have some fun with it and move it around. I figured it would be too much of a pain to move it around but I think it adds a fun challenge. If you move it I would make sure 2<h<=10 where h is the hole's height index. That way the flag isn't off the screen. Oct 25, 2016 at 19:10
• Either take two paramters i and k where 0<i<=10 and 0<k<=10 or set i and k using random number generation Oct 25, 2016 at 19:20
• @corvus_192 absolutely Oct 25, 2016 at 19:20
• Those output strings are painful for code golf. Since there are no answers yet, consider allowing to take them as an input Oct 25, 2016 at 19:58

It's not pretty and it's not short but I'm tired and its the first only Python answer. Enter shot in x,y format.

Edit

Golfed off 26 by redefining the way the list is built. Still no luck with the long if statement though.

-2 by replacing the long if with a dictionary and a shorter if.

-10 with thanks to @Noodle9 - I'd missed that one :)

-4 - thanks again :)

Another 3 off. Thanks.

x,y=input();a=[' ']*120;a[15]=a[27]='|';a[16],a[39],b='>','0',x+y*12
a[b],k='o',"Lucky Shot!";l={16:"Close One!",15:k,27:k,39:"Hole in One!"}
print l[b]if b in l else"Try Again!"
for z in range(10):c=z*12;a[c]=a[c+11]='|';print''.join(a[c:c+12])


For anyone who is interested in the logic, ungolfed with comments (1316 bytes but still easily fits on a 3.5" disk if anyone remembers them):

print l[b]if b in l else"Try Again!"            #If the absolute index is in the dict then print it otherwise print the default
for z in range(10):                             #Loop through the length of the green

print''.join(a[c:c+12])                     #Print each line in turn. Because this is in a for loop then Python will deal with newlines


Definitely the first time for me that a dictionary has been the best data format in a golf challenge.

Using zero-indexing.

This is way too readable :(

Explanation:

(x:Int,y:Int)=>{                                      //define an anonymous function
val r="|          |\n"                                //a shortcut for an empty row
(                                                     //return a tuple of
'"'+                                                  //a double quote
(if(x==2&y==3)"Hole in One!"                          //plus the correct string
else if(x==2&(y==1|y==2))"Lucky Shot!"
else if(x==3&y==1)"Close One!"
else "Try again!"
)+"'"                                                 //and another quote
,                                                     //and
(r+"|  |>      |\n|  |       |\n|  O       |\n"+r*6) //the field
updated(1+x+13*y,'o')                                //with the (1+x+13*y)th char replaced with a ball
)
}


I've used the formula 1+x+13*y to calculate the correct index, since each row is 13 chars long (2 borders, a newline and 10 spaces) plus an offset of one because (0,0) should be the second char.

The two literal newlines each save one byte. Pretty standard. Prints the declaration, then the game board.

Takes 1-based input, space-separated, on stdin. Most of the code is for printing (one of) the four messages. Try it online!

Note: Charcoal is still a work in progress. This code works as of the current commit. If it stops working in the future (in particular, if the TIO link doesn't work as expected), ping me and I'll try to add a non-competing updated version that works.

### Explanation

ＮαＮβ       Read two inputs as numbers into variables α and β

Construct the green and flag:
× ⁵          Print to canvas 5 spaces
↑¹⁰          Print 10 | characters going up
‖Ｃ←         Reflect and copy leftward
At this point, borders of green are complete; cursor is above left wall
Ｊ⁴¦²        Jump 4 units right and 2 down
←>           Print the flag, going leftward
↓²           Print the pin (2 | characters), going downward
O            Print the hole
The last print was rightward by default, which means we're now at (4,4)
Ｍ⁴↖         Move 4 units up and left; cursor is above left wall again

⎇∧⁼α³⁼β⁴    If α is 3 and β is 4 (in the hole):
Hole in One
⎇∧⁼α³⁼¹÷β²  Else if α is 3 and β is 2 or 3 (hit the pin):
Lucky Shot
⎇∧⁼α⁴⁼β²    Else if α is 4 and β is 2 (hit the flag):
Close One
Else:
¦Try Again
⁺...¦!       Concatenate a ! to the string
Ｐ           Print it without changing the cursor position

Overwrite the appropriate spot with o:
Ｊαβ         Jump α units right and β units down
o            Print o

Please let me know if the result of the shot absolutely has to be lowercase.

I will add a screenshot of an example program result later.

Thanks to @billywob for -2 bytes, noticing M[a,b] is equivalent to M[c] in a couple of cases.

Annoyingly, the two cat calls (!) can't be concatenated into one, since the fill argument messes up the message. Argh!
