rmatrix

rmatrix is an implementation of the cmatrix project, but in Rust using the ratatui crate.

Installation

Someone already had the name "rmatrix", so I had to call it "rjmatrix".

cargo install rjmatrix

Features

Resize

Properly handles resizing of the terminal window both vertically and horizontally.

Colors

Currently supports the following colors:

• red
• green
• yellow
• blue
• purple
• cyan
• rainbow

Cycle through random colors by pressing c.

Speed

Change the speed the matrix falls on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the slowest and 10 being the fastest).

Cycle through the speed by pressing 0-9 (0 being the equivalent of 10).

Direction

Change the direction the matrix falls using the arrow keys.

Bold

Make the text bold.

Help

Creates the matrix in the terminal. Use `c` to cycle colors, `0-9` to change speed, arrow keys to change direction, `b` to toggle bold, and `q` to quit.
