multidirectional matrix rain html

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Live Demo

I was hoping to get some extra eyes and ears on the byproduct of my latest ASCII based endeavors, an audio reactive, XYZ axis based multidirectional matrix rain HTML.

I have a lot of spare time on my hands....

any feedback would be helpful, always looking for new or creative upgrade or optimizations opportunities, or just anything fun that could be visually appealing, like i was thinking of making a mouse pointer tracker in the system, so the rain drops are always converging on the mouse pointer where ever it is on the desktop.

if you could switch out the ASCII for Unicode half-width Katakana characters, it'd look a little more authentic.

But I like the look of what you did. ♥️💯

Even better, use the font from Zmatrix.

Oh, I have katakana as a selection for manual mode, but I don't think the character set is half-width, I'll check that out thank you for your input.

Would it be possible to develop something like this for wallpaper engine on Steam? Take my money

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3599704378 im about to do a small update to this repo, it will make it incompatible with wallpaper engine for like 3 hours or so, that just means it wont be publicly listed until steam verifies the update is not malicious

Hey thank you! I'll have to rewatch reloaded hahaaaa, I can't remember the clock... but I'm curious what you mean by swim around?

u/quitemax 4d ago

like an object texture. i mean that clock that is used to measure guard shifts just before the scorpion attack. right after beginning titles the whole thing is shown as matrix code

Have you considered making this a milkdrop preset?

u/spreader123 3d ago

I did not know about milkdrop, I'll have to look into that, seems cool though, it's from early 2000 huh
