Since this week noone has posted a code-golf challenge, I'll give it a try. I do it so you can do something other than playing with swords during those long compile cycles.

The challenge:

Draw ASCII art stars, given three numbers on standard input (number of spikes, type of star (star is drawn by joining vertices that are n vertices apart), and diameter of star). Examples:

Input:                        Input:                       Input:

5 2 20                        7 2 20                       7 3 20

Output:                       Output:                      Output:

Since rasterizing correctly the lines can be a PITA for a code-golf challenge, I'll leave some leeway, but not too much. More examples:

Good enough:

    x           x                   x       x
     xx       xx                    x       x
       x     x                       x     x
     x  xx xx  x                      x   x
          x                            x x
         x x                            x
      xxx   xxx                      x     x

          x

            xx
                                        x

 Lack of precission              Lack of clipping

Have fun!
