Overview

Matrix is one of my favorite SF movies. The Matrix idea of people living in an illusory world is quite appealing to me, a guy who is well read in Buddhism and Hinduism. As a programmer, I always wanted to reproduce this scrolling text effects on my computer. Then I discovered xmatrix by Jamie Zawinski. However, it's Linux only. So one day, I decided to write one of my own for the Windows platform. The fonts used here are borrowed from xmatrix.

Main features are:

Settings

  • Open the control panel display, choose "YZMatrix v1.00" from the screen saver list.
  • You can adjust the scrolling speed.
  • You can adjust the matrix density.
  • You can switch font size.
  • You can edit the messages to anything you like.
