Create punch card patterns from binary strings
This script turns a binary string into a pattern formatted for copying to an IBM-style 80-column punch card.
It is intended for creating drawings patterns based on programs for my imaginary computer.
Use
./punch-a-card.js bin.txt
The input must be a text file containing nothing but 0s and 1s (no spaces, newlines, etc). It must be an even number of 8-bit bytes in length.
Example output
