The challenge

During the Vintage Computing Christmas Challenge 2022 the goal was to create the shape of a given Christmas star with as few bytes as possible. All platforms and languages were allowed. The star should look exactly like shown below.

              *       *
              **     **
              ***   ***
              **** ****
          *****************
           ***************
            *************
             ***********
              *********
             ***********
            *************
           ***************
          *****************
              **** ****
              ***   ***
              **     **
              *       *

There were mainly two kinds of approaches:

  • draw character by character
  • mirror triangles
  • etc
