Patch into The Matrix at the Linux command line
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
Recreate the classic look and feel of everyone's favorite 1990s sci-fi movie code scroller with cmatrix.

You've found your way to today's entry from the Linux command-line toys advent calendar. If this is your first visit to the series, you might be wondering what a command-line toy even is? It's anything that's an entertaining diversion at the terminal, be it a game, a fun utility, or a simple distraction.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some of these are classics, and some are completely new (at least to me), but I hope all of you find something you enjoy in this series.

As we come to the close of another year, it's a good time for looking back, and looking forward. What will 2019 hold for you? What does it mean to be 2019?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm reminded that 2019 will mark the twentieth anniversary of one of my favorite science fiction movies from my teenage years, that at the time had me thinking a lot about what the future would hold: [The Matrix][1]. For a computer nerd kid like me, it was the ultimate story of a computer programmer rising up and becoming an action hero in a virtual universe by tapping into the power of his mind.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At the time, there was no movie that seemed more futuristic to me; both in the story itself, and in the mesmerizing special effects. Realizing that it was filmed over twenty years ago doesn't change that in my mind.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bringing it back to our command-line toy for today, let's recreate the downward flowing code of the Matrix at our terminal with **cmatrix**. **cmatrix** was an easy install for me, packaged for Fedora, so installing it took simply:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ dnf install cmatrix
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then, just type **cmatrix **at your terminal to run.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can find the source code for **** **cmatrix** [on GitHub][2] under a GPL license.

Do you have a favorite command-line toy that you think I ought to include? The calendar for this series is mostly filled out but I've got a few spots left. Let me know in the comments below, and I'll check it out. If there's space, I'll try to include it. If not, but I get some good submissions, I'll do a round-up of honorable mentions at the end.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Check out yesterday's toy, [Winterize your Bash prompt in Linux][3], and check back tomorrow for another!
