That JS code would make a great basis for this script

Wondering how hard it would be to make a script that creates an image by concatenating a series of images into a horizontal strip. I'm new to JS so it's a bit of a leap for me on my own. Algorithm might be something like this:

start with base image file "numbers" with a text layer on top text layer has contents "01",
image size is160px x 90px;
make a new file "filmstrip " same size as "numbers"
paste "numbers" in as pixels only (flattened/merged)
loop for n instances; 

      enlarge "filmstrip" canvas width by image width + spacer width (image
      anchored on the RHS, same height) make text number in "numbers" ++ copy
      "numbers" paste into "filmstrip" on LHS as pixels (flattened/merged) end
      loop





Just writing that tells me I don't know enough JS to do this!
