Code Golf Asked by Keith Randall on December 6, 2020
Write the shortest possible program that draws a Bresenham line in ASCII art. Your program should take two integers x and y (command line or stdin, your choice) and draw an ASCII line which starts in the upper left and goes right x units and down y units. You must use _ and characters and place them in the correct location according to Bresenham’s algorithm.
You may assume x >= y, so no vertical segments are required.
Note that because you’re using the _ character, for a line with y=3 you will likely need to output 4 lines of text (and you may emit a leading blank line when it isn’t necessary).
examples:
11 3
_
___
___
_
11 1
_____
_____
5 4
_
For points which are exactly halfway you may choose either rounding:
10 1
____
_____
or
_____
____
/ /;print int(.5+$_*$'/$`)>int(.5+--$_*$'/$`)?$/.$"x$_.'\':'_'for 1..$`
Run with -n option (counted in code size).
$ perl -n bresenham.pl <<<'11 3'
_
___
___
_
$ perl -n bresenham.pl <<<'11 1'
_____
_____
$ perl -n bresenham.pl <<<'5 4'
_
$ perl -n bresenham.pl <<<'10 1'
____
_____

It took a while to figure out the right formula, but it now works! Credit to the Delphi answer.
Link is to verbose version of code.

Quite small if you ask me :
var x,y,i:Word;begin Read(x,y);for i:=1to(x)do if(i*y+x div 2)mod x<y then Write(^J,'':i)else Write('_')end.
The 2 integers are read from the command line.
The newline is written by the seldomly used ^J syntax (meaning LineFeed), the following '' character is indented using the little-known syntax :Write(string:width).
It's a pitty Delphi div for integer-divide (instead of just ). Ah well...

z,x,y,i,f;main(){for(scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);i<=x;i++){f=f?printf("_"):1;z+=y;if(2*z>=x&&i<x)f=0,z-=x,printf("n%*c",i+1,92);}}
