The asr33 repo contains a selection of patterns and programs for working with punched paper tape.
Paper tape is 8-bit binary data, punched with holes, one byte per row.
Read the python script bin/pattern for details. Its output is binary data.
The bin/patterns directory contains pattern definitions. List them with pattern --list.
Do NOT try to print the long ones (4kbasic, pdp11*, etc). 10 characters per second means less than 1kilobyte per minute. That's a long time to wait for a printout.
Good small ones are:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
ribbon | An arty ribbon |
sequences | Some interesting bit-sequences |
skulls | Very pretty skulls |
invaders | Various space invaders |
hearts | Cute hearts |
bubbles | Bubbles, kinda |

The pattern script can also print text on tape,
using bitmap fonts. Use pattern text --font mod6x13 for example. Fonts in BDF format are in the bin/fonts directory.
Use pattern --text to generate text output, as a preview.
Use pattern --svg to generate SVG.
