Render "Digital Clock Style" Numbers

Funciton

Not really a language suitable for golfing... but regardless, I tried to keep the code size as small as I could — quite a different challenge than in “usual” languages. This is 1555 characters or 3110 bytes (if encoded as UTF-16; UTF-8 is larger).

Here’s a screenshot of the program running. It really works :)

Since this looks ugly in StackExchange due to the extra line spacing, consider running the following code in your browser’s JavaScript console to fix that: $('pre').css('line-height',1)

It could probably be smaller if I hadn’t made a mistake due to which the output was back to front; I fixed that by adding an extra function to reverse the input. Otherwise I would probably have to rewrite all of it.

I also made another mistake (swapping the operands in two calls to ‼) which made it necessary to declare the extra ‡ function, but this one is so small it fits inside the main function and thus doesn’t add any characters!

wxpython, many characters

import wx, wx.gizmos as g

class T(wx.Frame):
 def __init__(_):
  wx.Frame.__init__(_, None, size = (800, 60))
  l = g.LEDNumberCtrl(_, -1)
  l.Value = raw_input()

class M(wx.App):
 def OnInit(_):
  T().Show()
  return 1

M().MainLoop()

Test

echo -n 81 | python codegolf-997-wx.py

ps: not a serious entry, but looks like graphical output is also acceptable, so I just gave it a try :-)

J, ^{90, 78} 68 chars

[ update: using unicode (1 byte) encoding:

,./(10 3 3$((90$3)#:256#.24x-~3&u:'%ė¨ÔW/~º»sy¡ăì<t÷²'){' _|'){~"./.Y
NB. utf characters are: 37 279 168 212 87 47 126 186 187 115 121 161 259 236 60 116 247 178

works as before: ]

,./(10 3 3$((90$3)#:1219424106940570763878862820444729939648410x){' _|'){~"./. '58321'
 _  _  _  _    
|_ |_| _| _|  |
 _||_| _||_   |

The key is in the encoding of digits as base-3 integers. Zero, for example is:

:
 _ 
| |
|_|

or ' _ | ||_|', which becomes 010202212₃ = 2750.
