Challenge- Create a Box House

If you've played Terraria, you might have an idea of what I'm talking about.

The infamous Box House is just a wooden box with a torch, a door, a table, and a chair. For this challenge, you'll be creating one of them yourself!

Here's a reference image.

Here's an example of a Box House you can create:

+------------------------+
I                        I
I *                      I
I/                       I
I   ______     |         |
I   |    |  ___|         |
I   |    |  |  |         |
+------------------------+

Yes— this doesn't look easy to create with just loops. Here are some details that you'll want to know.

  • System.out.print() works the exact same as System.out.println() except it doesn't create a new line.

Advanced Challenge— make the house scalable. That means you can make custom dimensions.
