# A Matrix-style Code-Rain animation

This is a Python terminal animation, designed to mimic the look of "the code"
as seen in the movie "The Matrix".
It doesn't use the curses library, and should work on both Windows and Linux.
If your terminal can't display unicode characters, set KANA to False.

## `matrix.py`

This was my original simple method, which merely prints random characters in
columns, without storing them, then prints empty spaces a randomly set distance
above the start, to erase as it animates down. It uses the terminal default
colors for dark green, bright green, & white. Tho those can be customized, and
I also added a few other configurable options to the top of the files.

## `matrix2.py`

More advanced version, has a nice fade-effect, supports custom colors, and even
has a random color rainbow-mode. The color can be specified using HSV hue
values _(1-360)_, either by editing the COLOR setting on line 8, or from the
terminal as an argument when running the code. Any integer from 1 to 360 is
valid, 0 is reserved for the random color mode. Default is 120 for Green.
Other common colors:
> Orange = 30, Yellow = 60, Blue = 240, Purple = 270, Pink = 300, Red = 360

So in order to change the color to Blue, run using: `python matrix2.py 240`

Or to use the random color mode, run using: `python matrix2.py 0`
