Suggest:

- In the problems decode, i think we should make doing step:

1/ Look overview and get information easy know like

+ input we have 8 char / line -> now we know need use bit

+ number of line = nuimber of char in string -> now we know every line is a present a char of output

2/ Thinking top down problem 

+ A -> 65 -> 01000001 -> |_o___.__o|

_ = input()

while True:

    s = input()

    if s == '___________':

        break

    k = 0

    n = 0

   

    for i in range(len(s)-1, 0, -1):

       

        if s[i] == 'o':

            n += 1 << k

            k += 1

       

        if s[i] == ' ':

            k += 1

           

    print(chr(n), end='')
