Matrix raining code!

Not sure if someone's already done this one, but I'm sure the variants I'm posting here haven't yet been done. Here's some relatively simple examples of Matrix-esque falling code, all in glorious full-screen!

Matrix Rain

The most Matrix-like, using a mish-mash of glyphs I chopped up from various fonts like the Katana font listed below.

Katana Matrix Rain

Similar to the above, only relying on the Katakana font, and like the rest, uses Text objects rather than sprites.

Binary Matrix Rain

Here's an interesting addition, a sort of precursor to a game project I'm currently working on, falling binary strings.

Comic Sans Matrix Rain

Last but not least, made especially for all you Comic Sans Criminals out there, we have a Comic Sans variant! Using a colorful flurry of rotated characters, it's sure to be a favorite among graphic designers! ;)

Wow awesome, sometimes it lags due to fullscreen, i think WebGL may help

— Very nice demos.

Haha, these are very cool :)

"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this website" :D

Good work! Cool effect, which can reasonably use. Waiting for a next work! :)

Love these, and perfectly timed I am building a little fun shootem up side project using ascii art and wanted something just like this for one of the game dynamics. :) Ill have to add you into the credits heh :)

Thanks everyone, for your thoughts!

Joannesalfa, you can actually change the MaxChars variable in the .capx files. It's a global variable right at the top of the event sheet that limits how many Char objects will be onscreen at any given time. Setting that lower can yield a better FPS on some PCs. I just posted the files in the state they are since they ran perfectly on my PC.

AJTilley, I really love ASCII games and in fact, have a C2-based ASCII editor I've been working on as well. I'd love to check out your game! :)

Cheers!

nice!!

Ugotsta, I am currently working hard on getting fluxation in a better more playable state and building some art assets for a platformer but I am adding little by little a bit more to the ascii game every week so hopefully Ill have something fun to play soon :) and it will probably include a smaller version of your matrix ascii code and I might use the binary one for a bonus level I just dreamed up.

Super well made dude.It's sooo impressive. This is great!

Now I thinking of taking a blue or red pill...

Awesome !

The Matrix is my Favorite Movie !

This is awesome, thanks for sharing it!

Well, that's the most fun I've ever had building a 404 page.

Thanks for the grunt work; I left a link to this post in the HTML source code.

Very cool idea. Well done!
