Add horizontal scrolling and randomize the character size

[cubetastic33]

I am submitting a Feature Request. Could you make an option in cmatrix that lets it look like this? Basically, you add random binary, randomize the font size, and add some horizontal text as well.

Would you like to work on it?

no... idk cpp!

That's intresting! Let's add horizontal scrolling.

A feature that i though would be great, mabye easy to implement, is that the green/colored letters could also randomize, not only the white one, just like the movie.

@chends888 Can you be a little more precise pls

[chends888]

@abishekvashok What I mean is, when the characters appear, only the white ones keep randomizing, the green ones are a fixed character till they dissapear. Here's an example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqUR3KtWbTk I thought it'd be cool to add a flag in the command, to activate the feature

@chends888 I opened a dedicated issue for it #80

Basically, you add random binary,

Can do that

randomize the font size,

Absolutely cannot do that due to software limitations

and add some horizontal text as well.

sure

If you're wanting something that effectively looks like cmatrix but turned sideways and with only binary values, this ticket is totally possible to implement and I'd be happy to add it. If not, there's a good chance it is outside the scope of what can be done inside the linux terminal.

Ah yes, that makes sense to me now, ofc it isn't possible to randomize the character size haha But yeah adding horizontal text could be nice

Alright, sure! I'll add it to my todo
