Usage

make_binary_problems <number_of_bits: integer> <number_of_problems: integer>

TODO

• add installation of ghostscript as a prereq
  • brew install ghostscript or...?
• add installation of enscript
• use click to make it a proper CLI, now that there will be multiple options
• make it produce printable sheets, probably as PDFs

  • add nice spacing for easy reading

  • "enscript --columns=4 --output=file --no-header ~/tempfile.ps ~/tempfile.txt"

  • "ps2pdf ~/tempfile.ps ~/problems_and_answers.pdf"

  • options

    • create_pdf
      • number of columns [auto]
      • font
      • include column labels

Other Projects That Could Depend On This

• do the problems online/on computer
• a website to serve these up and let people use them for free
  • a web API that serves it, so people can do that programmatically
