Percent progress to the next halving period. A new picture is chosen to fill the grid for each whole percent
This script will prepare an image representing the progress towards the next subsidy halving depicted as a progress bar, and each block mined within the current whole number percent. Since a halving period is 210000 blocks, each whole percent represents 2100 blocks making for a nice layout.
It depends on a bitcoin node.
