This is sweet. Thanks! I've created an updated version that clears columns from above and exits and clears the screen upon a key press: https://gist.github.com/dhaiducek/174cdb04a5a51f016c6ca69ece721b17
(I changed it to show only zeros and ones since I couldn't get it to change to a foreign alphabet without changing my system settings.)
