Let's get real picky: - chunks should vertically move down together, they don't just change color - leading char is a bright green with outer glow - movement

Let's get real picky:
- chunks should vertically move down together, they don't just change color
- leading char is a bright green with outer glow
- movement doesn't always start at the top
- there are gaps in the chars
- there are vertical groups as small as 1 char that change chars at random
- there is no trailing transition in the color

- VexXtreme 14y agoFurthermore, the characters are supposed to be horizontally inverted (flipped) half width katakana (Japanese) characters, not the Chinese kanji.
- ygra 14y agoAlso digits, flipped as well.

- eddieroger 14y agoIf we're going to get real nitpicky, this is just a rendering of the Matrix UI, and not the code of the Matrix itself. I imagine that would be orders of magnitude bigger than 600b, considering the original storyline had the brain being part of a network (and not just human batteries).

- RaSoJo 14y agohey thanks for the endless video link...didn't know this tool existed.
- networked 14y agoInconsistency among visualizations of The Matrix code [1] is a really common problem, and I don't think all or even most of it is for copyright reasons. The solution is obvious: if it doesn't yet exist (I wasn't able to find one) somebody should write a specification for what a "correct" visualization is. It might be a decade too late but better late than never. [1] Wikipedia calls it the "Matrix digital rain", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_digital_rain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_digital_rain.
- Hemospectrum 14y ago- The "leader" seems to cycle from one character to the next faster than it advances from cell to cell. - The "random" groups don't look random at all to me. More like there's a series of "standing" characters left behind by the light-green leader, and behind that there's a stream of "running" characters advancing at a different rate. We only see the running characters through gaps in the standing characters, and only in cells that the leader has already visited.
