Hi there, how can I install this on mac?

The -s: option activates the "Screensaver" mode, with exits on first keystroke.
This is nice but the keystroke is not recorded on the terminal. So if for example user wants to type "git" the first character g should be recorded and when learning the screen from matrix, g should be present on the terminal along with whatever other characters the user has typed.

CMatrix is based on the screensaver from The Matrix website. It shows text flying in and out in a terminal like as seen in "The Matrix" move

Problem or Feature in Brief

I am using the latest arch bundled version of cmatrix (2.0) with Cinnamon DE in Arch. My terminal emulators include Terminator, urxvt, Gnome term and Konsole. They are configured with light yellow tranparent background. When cmatrix runs, it replaces that background with black in all samples. After I exit cmatrix, transparency is restored.

On my Mint system with Cinnamon DE, with the exact same stylistic choices and terminals, cmatrix (v. 1.2 bundled with Ubuntu) correctly respects the transparent terminal background.

It is unclear to me where the bug lies, but since I and another couple of people could not find any help in linux fora, I hope the developer may be able to help.

Edit: Downgrading the package to the 1.2 version fixes the problem. There seems to be something wrong in the transition 1.2 to 2.0 for my system.

The version number of cmatrix in Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and other deb-based
distributions was "1.2a", which is higher than current release on GitHub (1.2).
We need a higher version number to cleanly update the package.

Solution (if any)

Tag another release on the appropriate commit that is equal or later than current
1.2 tag.

Since the freeze of next Debian major release will take place on 12 February 2019, I suggest
we tag the release as early as possible and no later than that day.

Basically, you add random binary, randomize the font size, and add some horizontal text as well.

Randomize the entire text that appears in a row instead of only the first one. Make this an optional feature.

I like reading some history of FOSS. I remember visiting a CMatrix website long time ago, but the content is gone.

So, I am wondering the history of CMatrix and from the "Thanks" section in README, it feels like @abishekvashok had discussions with Chris Allegretta. And as the commit message of 476808f stated:

Added updated cmatrix code as development was done in my hands after Chris handled me the key to maintain and develop cmatrix.

It looked like the case.

Would @abishekvashok add a history section in README, short paragraph with some notable dates, like when CMatrix was born, when you officially took over and became the Neo.

(I'd throw in some references from the films, but the only things I remember are the name of main character and lots of sunglasses and freaking rains)

Feature in Brief

So...this is ENTIRELY cosmetic...I think it would be really neat if you could set a primary color for all text and then a secondary color for select characters. This definitely falls under the vanity category, but it would be cool if all the letters were green except for maybe like your initials, whenever randomly generated, would show up as red.

Solution (if any)

To piggy back on the above as terms of input/configuration, maybe read from a .cmatrix config file in the user root dir or from etc? Could maybe make it easier for people set static system/user configs for stuff like screensaver elements or other automations to not have to consistently pass options to the program and instead just have it check those locations first if no options are provided.

maybe have it look something like this:

[colors]
primary = green
secondary = red

[characters]
primary = *
secondary = a, b, c

[general]
async = true
bold_random = true
bold_all = false
case_sensitive = false

expected behavior from the above would be that primary keyspace minus secondary keyspace would be in primary color, and secondary text would be in secondary color. case_sensitive = false would apply to [aA]. maybe have a general options section for the rest of the stuff under --help as well.

Would you like to work on it?

cmatrix -lba pops error as mentioned in the title. Same error pops while using cmatrix on WSL (windows subsystem for linux).

Solution (if any)

Would you like to work on it?

As README points out cmatrix by default supports resolutions up to 132x300.
I tried to put it running a terminal window under 204x87 (basically half of vertical display), and yes, 204 columns is an overkill, but hey, let's try to have nice things.

The current issue is that after about 1/3 of the window fils up with characters - it starts to lag immediately and gives me a feeling that The Matrix has a hard time processing some data or keeps changing so many things at once.

Would be great to support higher resolutions without the lag!

P.S.
Could help figure out and contribute to this, but would need some pointers to where to get started and where the bottleneck could be.

Add cmake build files to .gitignore

A website for cmatrix could go into the newly created gh-pages branch.

Please discuss the design of the website to be followed in this issue.

I wanna start cmatrix as screen-bakeground when leaving computer, how can I make it?

The original matrix animation uses Japanese characters.

https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2017/10/27/09/matrix-code.jpg?w968

It would be nice if unicode support was added so cmatrix could display Japanese characters.

Currently, make install fails if run without sudo privileges.

This is because make is unable to install to /usr/share/consolefonts. All other configurations honors the prefix parameter that used to configure the Makefile except consolefonts.

I'm not sure whether this is because consolefonts MUST be installed system-wide and cannot be installed user-specific; or because it just missed to honor the prefix parameter.

There are multiple ways to approach this issue (which I can detail below). I would like to open a pull request with the changes, but then, unfortunately, I'm not familiar with make.

1. Honor prefix and install to $(prefix)/share/consolefonts/ (and the other directories in the install-data-local function).
2. Skip the installation of consolefonts (with a warning, probably) if make install is executed without sudo privileges. It is not like cmatrix wouldn't work (except -l) at all without the consolefonts right?

Breaking installation due to a non-trivial error is not desirable, IMHO.

When not in console and running "cmatrix" with the "-l" one gets this error:

Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

But I would really like to be able to run it with the "-l" option in order to get that cool matrix style font without getting that error. So I think that something should be changed in cmatrix to allow this, such as converting the font to an X font and then making cmatrix use this font when it is run using the "-l" option outside of the console.

putenv is used in the code. Although it was the standard in the past, now we have setenv which is also a part of the standard and is more stable. Considering that fact that various putenv bugs still exist ee should migrate to setenv.

As you can see in the image, it appears that cmatrix is forcing a Solarized dark-type background in my terminal. This was not like this before. It would just appear normally on my "tango-colorscheme" background. I have no idea why this is happening.

In a linux text console, running cmatrix -l just gives me a blank screen. "cmatrix" by itself runs fine.

I'm running on Arch Linux. I tried copying matrix.fnt and matrix.psf.gz to $PWD but the behavior is the same. My TERM is "linux" and my LANG is en_US.UTF-8 (but I tried setting my LANG to "ISO-8859-1" and also to "C"; neither fixed the issue). ncurses is 6.1. kbd is 2.0.4. My default console font is ter-v14n. If I do "setfont matrix", it changes the font to the matrix font correctly.

Kinda stumped here. Let me know if there's any other information you need, or anything else I can try.

NCurses supports to be compiled with separated tinfo (termcap) in '-ltinfo', but the configure.ac scripts doesn't check for this case.

Solution (if any)

existing code:

if eval "test x$CURSES_LIB_NAME = x"
then
    AC_CHECK_LIB(termcap, tgetent, CURSES_LIB="-ltermcap" CURSES_LIB_NAME=termcap)
fi

suggested code to be appended after the existing code:

if eval "test x$CURSES_LIB_NAME = x"

when i use -l option, the font does not display properly. Is there a way to force loading a compatible font ?

I've taken up cmatrix from Chris.
So pls update your indices to: https://github.com/abishekvashok/cmatrix

hey! :-)
it seems to me like the fonts are not working for me.
mtx.pcf is copied correctly to the systems fonts dir (in my case "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/"),
and then mkfontdir is run on that dir, which generates "mtx.pcf.gz".
when i run cmatrix -l, it looks like in the screenshot below.

in my systems font preview of the "mtx.pcf" file, i see only '@'s.

This is on Trisquel (essentially Ubuntu 14.04)

cmatrix -o outputs some weird stuff like:

hey! :-)
i made a first, tiny step in that direction (supporting building with CMake):
https://github.com/hoijui/cmatrix/commits/cmake

it configures and compiles fine on my system (Ubuntu 14.04 64bit), and the resulting cmatrix executable seems to work fine.
what it does not do, is anything else then compiling the executable, like.. doing anything with the font, for example. what other things would be required for it to have the same functionality/features as the current build system?

I am submitting a bug report.

When cmatrix is running, and the terminal is resized to less than two lines, cmatrix crashes with the following error:

996 floating point exception cmatrix

To fix it, I suggest cleanly exiting when the terminal is too small, rather than crashing. I can add a quick solution to prevent a harsh exit, however further investigation may be required to find the source of the error.
