In Operation
CMatrix by default operates in eye candy mode.
Here’s a short video illustrating a few of the options using the Hyper terminal.
First, we start up CMatrix with the -n argument which disallows bold characters.
Later segments of the video illustrate -r and -m arguments, the former puts the software into rainbow mode displaying the matrix in different colors. The latter fires up a lambda mode where every character becomes a lambda.
There are other options including:
- Pause and resume.
- Change the text colour. Available colors are green, red, blue, white, yellow, cyan, magenta and black.
- Asynchronous scroll.
- Use old-style scrolling.
- Adjust the update speed.
- “Screensaver” mode where the program will exit on any keystroke.
- Use Japanese characters. The starting, ending, and range for random number (corresponding to the Unicode character) is modified to suit the Japanese character range.
