I admit that I didn't write the original snippet, but rather found it deep in the web a while back. I never took the time to fully understand how it worked, but have a considerably clearer idea since reading your rework. The original writer must have had headaches whilst designing the "curve" calculations, unless of course it is based on a widely established algorithm of some sort:
my $x = 24 - $row - $col / 3;
return $x**2 - 20 * $x + ( $col**2 ) / 3;
I'm interested in your coderef approach. Initially, it appears you forgot to refactor this part. However I think it may be more efficient since it only needs to interpolate $row once per row (25 times) and not per row/col (24 * 31 times)? My "refactored" version below will help to explain what I mean:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Readonly;
Readonly::Scalar my $AT => q(@);
Readonly::Scalar my $SPACE => q( );
for my $row (0..24) {
my $line;
$line .= select_curve($row, $_) < 0 ? $AT : $SPACE for (0..30) ;
print scalar reverse($line), $line, "\n";
}
sub select_curve {
my ($row, $col) = @_;
my $x = 24 - $row - $col / 3;
return $x**2 - 20 * $x + $col**2 / 3;
}
