From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This program written in C will create some basic animation of ascii-art loaded from a txt file, while rendering the matrix effect in the terminal window.

So the same as cmatrix, which is already packaged in popular distros?

cmatrix has it's own features, and has most certainly been an inspiration. At first I made a project as a matrix-clone, in c.

Later on I added an extra feature in another project, rendering ascii-art in the foreground. In this step I tried taking a step further on.

Not by the slightest.

~~You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix~~

~~-EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh... it'll give you a nice idea regardless.~~

I actually created a new image with it -- docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix
