🎬 FMatrix

An alternative to the famous cmatrix program, implemented in F# using .NET.

📜 Overview

This program creates a digital rain effect, similar to the iconic Matrix movie visuals, with falling characters in the terminal. It is written in F# and runs as a .NET console application.

🛠 Usage

Ensure you have the .NET SDK installed (compatible with .NET 9.0). Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory. Build and run the project using:

dotnet run

To build a release binary:

dotnet build -c Release

The program will display the Matrix digital rain effect in your terminal. You can resize the terminal window to adjust the display dynamically.

📋 Requirements

• .NET SDK 9.0 or later.
• A terminal that supports ANSI escape codes (e.g., most Linux terminals).

[!IMPORTANT] This program has been tested only on Linux. It should work on other platforms with ANSI-compatible terminals (e.g., Windows Terminal, macOS Terminal), but compatibility is not guaranteed.

The program does not yet implement the full functionality of cmatrix (e.g., customizable colors or character sets).
