Cool concept and nice twist on the theme implementation :) I really like the hints idea to suggest drawing stuff on a paper. I am quite found of those games where you must do stuff outside the game scope.
On the other hand I found it not very clear how the punchcard programms works, I surmise it loops, thus the infinite loop error. And the rng might be a little too frustrating for me as I got lot's of card that I didn't always need and thus got stuck in making infinite loop programs, or a programs that didn't help me understand the maze.
A part from that it's very nice, the card animation feels nice :)
Congrats for the entry !
