Posted: Sat Feb 08, 2025 10:52 am Post subject: Matrix Effect! [DEVELOPMENT-IDEA]

Below is a code similar to the matrix effect and a form of its usage simulator.

I am looking for ideas for further development.

Options I am looking for:
You may have a different option idea, feel free to add it.
The most important part that is visible now is that the effect movements are not fluid.
In other words, the text does not flow, it is as if it is descending from a step.

The code is shared below, I am waiting for your ideas for development or correction.
Good luck in advance.

Code:

if mtxFrm then mtxFrm.Destroy() mtxFrm=nil end
DP1=getScreenDPI()/96
mtxFrm=createForm()
mtxFrm.height=360*DP1 mtxFrm.width=640*DP1 mtxFrm.left=351*DP1 mtxFrm.top=132*DP1
mtxFrm.PopupMode=0 mtxFrm.caption="Matrix Effect V1"
mtxFrm.Position="poDesktopCenter" mtxFrm.ShowInTaskBar="stAlways"
mtxFrm.BorderStyle="bsSingle"
--[==[
mtxFrm.BorderStyle="bsNone"
mtxFrm.setLayeredAttributes(0x000100, 255, LWA_COLORKEY | LWA_ALPHA )
mtxFrm.Color=0x000100
Object.OnMouseDown=function() mtxFrm.DragNow() end

Haha, looks fun! Though I think in matrix characters were falling - in your code they seem randomly changing every time. Have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuMf5J-BI_w Generate random char -> bright, with a timer. Timer keeps it lit for a few secs, then fades out. The timer does not change the character, only the brightness. The "fall speed" is random across the characters, but remains static in scope of a single character. These may help with the effect. Not sure what to use it for though, other than a screen saver.

Adapted versions vary depending on the user.
That is, different versions can be made.
The code below is adapted to the one in the video you provided.

1) Fun..
2) Different Trainer versions..
3) This project was on my mind a long time ago. Now I'm working on it.

Here is another version of the effect with some additions:
V2:

Code:
