Matrix

A matrix program to get some practice with C and the ncurses library.

This project just recently turned 4 years old, and was one of my first C projects! I have been using it as a screen saver for my office all this time.

After staring at it running on this old CRT monitor in my office off of a Mac trash can (aka. 2013 Mac Pro) that is running Void Linux. I decided that it could do with a makeover.

Features

It will start the streams moving downwards. Pressing [S] will start/stop the streams. Pressing [R] while the stream is stopped it will reverse the direction

Flags

--help or -h: Print a help message for the program

--streamLen: Sets the length of the stream to the proceeding value

--tickTime: Sets the time in ms between redraws of the streams
