#20 Digital Stream
This program mimics the “digital stream” visualization from the science fiction movie The Matrix. Random beads of binary “rain” stream up from the bottom of the screen, creating a cool, hacker-like visualization. (Unfortunately, due to the way text moves as the screen scrolls down, it’s not possible to make the streams fall downward without using a module such as bext.)
