## Features

- Smooth and realistic falling code effect

- Customizable speed, density, and colors

- Developed in C# using .NET

- Lightweight and efficient

- Console-based animation

## Usage

1. Open the project in Visual Studio or your preferred C# IDE.

2. Build and run the application.

3. Enjoy the falling code effect!

## Technical Details

The project consists of several key components:

### `MatrixRain.Engine.MatrixEngine`

- The main entry point of the application.

- Initializes the rendering engine and starts the animation loop.

### `MatrixRain.Renderer.RainRenderer`

- Handles the rendering of the falling code effect.

- Manages an array of `Column` objects that update their position over time.

### `MatrixRain.Models.Column`

- Represents a vertical column of falling characters.

- Uses `RandomHelper` to generate random characters and lengths.

- Updates the console output to simulate the rain effect.

### `MatrixRain.Utils.RandomHelper`

- Provides helper methods for generating random values.

- Used for determining column lengths and random character selection.
