My house is destroyed! Can you make me one?

+3
−0

Background

A House of I

I went on an adventure
Grabbed resources and making deeds
Like start to work on the materials
To build the shelter I need

It was a marvelous one
At least in the eyes of mine
And when the sun sets
I go inside

I went to sleep in comfort
Hoping to show it to comrades
Dreaming of dreams
In the hours that pass

Next day I wake up
I find myself in a pickle
"My house is gone, oh dear!"
Now I feel ill

I can't find a place to live
Then there I find thou
I have a simple request
"Can you make me a house?"

As some time pass by
You built such structure with potential
When you said it's made of code
You're who I'd call special

- Poem by Mark Giraffe

Canvas, 9 7 bytes

#*⌐⤢n↔n

-2 bytes thanks to @Razetime

Uh I don't really know how to use Canvas - what I think this does is create the vertical wall, then half the horizontal one, then concatneate and mirror them.

Try it here!

JavaScript, 47 bytes

n=>`0`.repeat(n)+(`
0`.padEnd(n--)+0).repeat(n)

Try it online!

My first pass used recursion before I realised I was over thinking things! First 51 byte version includes a leading newline, second 52 byte version was in case that wasn't allowed.

f=(n,x=n)=>x?f(n,--x)+`
0`.padEnd(n,` 0`[+!x])+0:``

Try it online!

f=(n,x=n)=>--x?f(n,x)+`
0`.padEnd(n)+0:`0`.repeat(n)

PolygonHollow exactly fits this challenge.

Prints a polygon with sides in x, all with length y, and the z used for the sides, repeating from the origin. Polygon is not autoclosed or filled.

Sometimes, it's better to use functions when you're not restricted from using it.
