Skeumorphism

This one requires some explanation.

One program sampled every pixel of a 100x100 grayscale image. Each bit was written as one black or white pixel in one column of a 10000x8 bitmap.

The next program loads in this bitmap and scans it column by column, turning each one back into a 256 value grayscale pixel and recreates the image. That's what you see here.

It's skeumorphic in the sense that it's kind of recreating a tape drive. And about as slow.

@bit101 Reminds me of watching data load from tape on a Sinclair 2068.
