5 Favorite Letters

Question

The challenge is actually extremely simple. Pick 5 distinct letters (you can just pick the 5 that allow you the shortest code if you like) and output them to the console. However, the twist is that they must be from the following list:

 AAA      BBBB       CCCC     DDDD      EEEEE     FFFFF      GGG      H   H
A   A     B   B     C         D   D     E         F         G         H   H
AAAAA     BBBB      C         D   D     EEEE      FFFF      G  GG     HHHHH
A   A     B   B     C         D   D     E         F         G   G     H   H
A   A     BBBB       CCCC     DDDD      EEEEE     F          GGG      H   H

 X X        Y        Z   
X   X       Y       ZZZZZ

Additional Rules:

• 5 of the same letter is not allowed, no repeat choices.
• Each letter must use the capital of itself as the ascii-character to draw it.
• Each letter output must be on the "same line" and have 5 spaces between each letter.
• You may choose any 5 letters that you want, this will allow you to reuse some code and lower your byte count. Figuring out which letters will allow you to do this most efficiently is part of the challenge.
• Trailing spaces are acceptable.
• A single trailing newline is acceptable, no more than one trailing newline though.
• This is code-golf, lowest byte-count wins.

Examples:

A B C D E

 AAA      BBBB       CCCC     DDDD      EEEEE
A   A     B   B     C         D   D     E

Using characters that are vertically symmetrical, draws the top halves and then reflects. Most of these make use of Polygon (Ｇ) and PolygonHollow (ＧＨ) to draw a series of connected line segments with a particular character. I can more easily be done with MultiPrint (Ｐ), using T as the direction.

Note: PolygonHollow just draws the segments specified, without completing the polygon or filling it. Polygon will complete and fill (not what we want) if the polygon can be completed with a simple line in one of the eight cardinal or intercardinal directions. Otherwise, it behaves like PolygonHollow, for a savings of one byte.

The order of characters was chosen to require only horizontal moves from the endpoint of one to the start of the next. Here's how the cursor proceeds:

$("L11 I1  C11 T1  D   D

The idea is to maximize the spaces between the letters so we can get repeated compressions.

Borrows the middle-row deduplication trick from Florent's answer. Saved 6 bytes thanks to Ben Owen by using string multiplication for the middle three rows, and an additional byte thanks to Matt.

Output is like the following at 227 bytes, for a 53.7% reduction --

Idea

Use a run length decode with letters that have as similar middle as possible with only one run length of each "pixel value" per row per letter.

Put a flat start like "L" to avoid different run length decode values for the rows.

Place the one different letter (could not find 5) of the three middle rows at the end so the smallest difference may be added arithmetically.

Output wanted; the run lengths; and these converted from base 11:

                                                  L,  , I,  , C,  , T,  , E   value
                                                  -------------------------
L         IIIII      CCCC     TTTTT     EEEEE     1, 9, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5   399633415
L           I       C           T       E         1,11, 1, 7, 1,11, 1, 7, 1   431646160+1

The three values 399633415, 431646160, and 1179122455 in base 250 as Jelly code page indices are then ðƁ ƥ, ȷɓSɠ, and JrŀṘ which can be used to encapsulate the run-length information.

PHP, 107 104 102 94 86 bytes

Ok I'm confident I have the smallest possible source with this method now. I wrote a script to generate and then gzip every possible combination of five letters. There are two solutions that match for the shortest compressed -- LODIC and LDOIC. I'm going with the former because it's more fun to say.

Source:

Theory

Take a letter:

IIIII      
  I        
  I        
  I        
IIIII 

convert it to binary matrix (bitmap)

11111
00100
00100
00100
11111

do the same for other 4 letters, scan a line, by taking "top" 5 bits off each

11111 01110 01110 10000 11111

convert to a hexadecimal string (should be using base36 or even printable ASCII here)

0x1f73a1f

apply the same algorithm to other 4 lines, to get the bitmap.

Render in the reverse order.

Explanation

‘ÓÑOIHH‘ pushes the string "ECOOIHH".

SðýJ3×S joins the string by spaces, repeats it thrice and converts it to a list.
The resulting list is ['E', ' ', 'C', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'I', ' ', 'H', ' ', 'H', 'E', ' ', 'C', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'I', ' ', 'H', ' ', 'H', 'E', ' ', 'C', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'I', ' ', 'H', ' ', 'H'].

Answer 8

JavaScript (ES6), 96 bytes (DIOCL)

`${x="DDDD6IIIII6OOO7CCCC5L"}
${y=`D3D7I7O3O5C9L
`,y+y+y+x}LLLL`.replace(/\d/g,d=>" ".repeat(d))

The idea here is to not only make the middle three lines identical, but also make the first line nearly identical to the last. Since there are only 4 letters that perfectly fit this description CDIO, L is the next best option, as it only requires 4 added characters at the end of the string.

As with Florent's answer, this is a snippet that returns the result. Add 3 bytes if it needs to be a function.

Test snippet

console.log(`${x="DDDD6IIIII6OOO7CCCC5L"}

Hey, we already have a program for ASCII art! The banner font almost does the job, except it outputs 7x7 letters. Hmm, let's just remove the 3rd and 5th columns, and the 2nd and 5th lines, and see what it gives...

It turns out that many letters will be output the required way, namely, B D E F H J L P T U Z.

It suffices to replace the arguments of the first set command with any combination of those letters to still obtain a correct result! Hence, this gives us 11*10*9*8*7=55440 solutions, each of those being 106 bytes long.

Explanation:

The theory was to pick vertically symmetrical letters, then encode the first 3 lines an palindromize them. Basically, I encoded as {#} of {Letter} in 2 byte pairs. I'm sure there's a better way to do this.

It basically uses the same run-length decode that the jelly answer does. I used letters where I could (hopefully) repeat the top on the bottom, and the middles would all 3 be the same. Once the tops, bottoms, and middles are created I edit the characters to make them correct:

1. Add two spaces to the I (more on that below)
2. Add two spaces to the T
3. Add the bar of the E
4. Remove the top of the L
5. Remove the bottom of the T (and delete the 2 spaces)

I have to add two spaces to the I, because I didn't allow two digit numbers (so I wouldn't need a separator. This leads to a 9 space run where I need 11.

Explanation

T is relatively easy to build from scratch. I can be obtained essentially as T plus its vertical reflection. H is I transposed. N is Z transposed and vertically reflected.

5:        % Push [1 2 3 4 5]
lyI&(     % Write [1 ;2; 3; 4 ;5] in the third column, filling with zeros.
          % This gives the shape of the 'T'
g84*      % Change nonzeros into 84 (ASCII for 'T'). Zeros will be displayed
          % as spaces
t0*       % Duplicate and multiply by zeros. This gives the separator
y         % Duplicate from below: pushes the 'T' again
tP+       % Duplicate, flip vertically, add. Gives the shape of the 'I'
g73*      % Change nonzeros into 73 (ASCII for 'I')
yy        % Duplicate separator and 'I' array
!         % Transpose. Gives the shape of the 'H'
q         % Subtract 1. Transformss 73 into 72 (ASCII for 'H'), and 0 into -1,
          % which will later be changed back into 0 when converting to char
y         % Duplicate separator
5XyP      % Size-5 identity matrix flipped vertically: gives slash of the 'Z'

Better redo:

This one does a better job at optimizing the tape, sacrificing setup characters for printing characters. The tape in this one looks like 'C' 'E' ' ' 'F' 'I' 'L' '\n', improving efficiency. I chose these because they lack internal spaces, making it so that they don't have to go back and forth between character and space more than necessary

++++++++[>+++++++++>+++++++++>++++>+++++++++>+++++++++>+++++++++>+<<<<<<<-]>----->--->>-->+>++++>++<<<<.<<....>>.....<.....>.....>.....<.....>>.....<<.....>>>.>.<<<<<<.>>.........<.>.........>.<...........>>.<<.......>>>.>.<<<<<<.>>.........<....>......>....<........>>.<<.......>>>.>.<<<<<<.>>.........<.>.........>.<...........>>.<<.......>>>.>.<<<<.<<....>>.....<.....>.....>.<.........>>.....<<.....>>>.....

I chose to go with ABCDE because it make setting up the tape for output much easier, but the time and characters I wasted in going from the letter to ' ' for all the negative space inside the A, B, and D and the placement of the endline at the end of the tape kinda killed me, I think.

I ended up with a tape that had the values 0 0 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E' ' ' \n and then output from there

Run and debug it

I picked letters that

• have vertical symmetry
• whose middle three columns are identical

These properties mean that each letter can be represented by a 3x3 grid. Here are the 9 regions, represented by digits.

12223
45556
78889
45556
12223

Consider the letter "B". It can be represented by 3 octal digits: 656. Each digit contains three bits, which control which regions are enabled for that letter. This technique also works for "CDEO".

Unpacked, ungolfed, and commented, the program looks like this.

"!^*14>G2eo"!   crammed integer literal             [63672, 54545, 64565]

The best thing about this code is that it vaguely represents the actual letter themselves when the appropriate whitespace is added.

In case it matters, I should point out that my output has a leading space on each line. The rules didn't explicitly prohibit that, so I'm hoping that's OK. If not, please just consider this a non-competing entry.

Explanation

The letters of the word are encoded as a simple sequence of 25 integers, each integer being a binary representation of 5 pixels. Since Befunge requires you to perform a calculation to instantiate any integer greater than 9, the letters were chosen so as to minimize the number of calculations required, and ordered so potential repeating values could be duplicated rather than recalculated.

We also need to store the ASCII value of each letter, offset by 32, in an array which is indexed by the modulo 5 of a decrementing index (so it goes 0 4 3 2 1 ...). The reason for offsetting by 32 is so the value can be multiplied by a pixel bit (1 or 0) and then added to 32 to produce either a space or the character required.

This array of letter values is stored in the first 5 bytes of the code, so it's easy to access. This also then influenced the choice of letters, since those values needed to be meaningful when interpreted as a code sequence. This is the sequence #&49+. The # jumps over the & and the 49+ just pushes 13 onto the stack which is subsequently ignored.

Try it online!

Explanation

The main data is stored as a binary matrix in the 16 byte string passed to unpack, which is called to convert to binary. Then s/// is called to replace each character with either $" (space) or if $& is falsy (0) or (A..E)["@-"/5%5] otherwise, where "@-" is the start index of the current character (@- is a list so $-[0] would return the first element, but interpolating into a string is 1 byte shorter) and we divide it by 5 and then take that result modulo 5 resulting in 0-4 (as the decimal part is ignored in list indices) based on the position, this correctly gets the letters in the right place for each of the larger letters. This is then appended to with, if "@+"%25 (like "@-" above, but @+ contains the end index of the current match) is truthy, $"x5x!("@+"%5) (space repeated [x] five times, repeated once when "@+"%5 is false) which adds the required spaces after each letter, or $/ (newline) otherwise.

I picked letters that required a single block of letters (1,4 or 5 letters long) on each line. F,L and E are left justified, but T and I require leading spaces where a single letter (vertical part) is printed. The code for adding these spaces looks like it could be improved.

"o@h@u".bytes{|i|               #for each byte (64 always set, 32...2 bits set for horiz bar, 1 bit=length of bar)
   k=3+i%2                      #decode least sig. bit for no of chars printed if a 1 is found
   puts "%-10s"*5%              #puts "%-10s%-10s%-10s%-10s%-10s" format string (expects array of subsitutes)
     "TIFLE".chars.map{|j|      #for each letter 
        i/=2                    #halve i
        (i/16>i%2*3?'  ':'')+   #if i large enough and i%2 zero, add leading space (or T and I)
        j+j*k*(i%2)             #print the letter once, then additional letters if bar required.
     }

C 176 bytes

If implicit ints are allowed then it's possible to cut off another 8 bytes.

#define C ,//11 bytes
#define R(r)r r r r r//21 bytes
T(int l){int c=324;printf(R(R("%c")R(" "))"\n" R(R(C(++c,l>>=1)&1?c/5:32)));}//77 bytes
f(){T(67010460);T(34702434);T(66160574);T(34702434);T(67010466);}//65 bytes

Output: E D C B A

EEEEE     DDDD       CCCC     BBBB       AAA      
E         D   D     C         B   B     A   A     
EEEEE     D   D     C         BBBB      AAAAA     
E         D   D     C         B   B     A   A     
EEEEE     DDDD       CCCC     BBBB      A   A     

How it works: The macro R just repeats a piece of code 5 times. Given how often fives appear in this problem, very useful. Now: here's what T(int) does. T takes an integer, and uses it as a bit field to determine where to print letters and where to print white space. For example, if given T(0b11111111100111111110011100), it will output: EEEEE DDDD CCCC BBBB AAA . It progressively counts down as to what letter it prints. First it prints E, then D, then C, then B, then A. Calling f() will print the entire thing.

Yes, I'm well aware that this is not really portable, that's why I've paid a byte to suppress the xz warnings with -q in the first case >:)

Python 2, 208 194 193 bytes

This is my first ever code golf ;) Fun to do

for i in range(0,25,5):
 for c,p in {'M':18732593,'O':15255086,'N':18667121,'T':32641156,'Y':18157700}.items():
  print format(p,'025b')[i:i+5].replace('0',' ',).replace('1',c)+'   ',
 print

Output:

Y   Y    M   M    TTTTT     OOO     N   N
 Y Y     MM MM      T      O   O    NN  N
  Y      M M M      T      O   O    N N N
  Y      M   M      T      O   O    N  NN
  Y      M   M      T       OOO     N   N

Using a dictionary destroys the sort order of the letters, but that was not a requirement
