CMatrix is a terminal-based program that recreates the falling green text effect from 'The Matrix' movie, based on the original Matrix screensaver. It supports synchronous or asynchronous scrolling at user-defined speeds and requires ncurses.
Use cases
- show a matrix-style animation in my terminal
- fun terminal screensaver
- customize matrix rain speed and scrolling
- impress friends with a hacker terminal effect
- add eye candy to my linux desktop demo
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, classic Matrix terminal effect
- you need a fun screensaver for Linux/macOS/Windows terminals
- you want configurable speed and async scrolling
When to avoid
- you need a real screensaver with system idle detection
- you want GPU-accelerated or graphical effects
- you need a practical terminal utility rather than decoration
