# CMatrix
CMatrix is based on the screensaver from The Matrix website. It shows text
flying in and out in a terminal like as seen in "The Matrix" movie. It can
scroll lines all at the same rate or asynchronously and at a user-defined
speed.
CMatrix by default operates in **eye candy** mode. It must be aborted with
control-c (Ctrl+C) or by pressing q. If you wish for more of a screen saver
effect, you must specify `-s` on the command line. For usage info, use `cmatrix -h`.

### Dependencies
You'll probably need a decent ncurses library to get this to work.
### Building and installing cmatrix
To install cmatrix, use either of the following methods from within the cmatrix directory.
#### Using `configure` (recommended for most linux user)
```
autoreconf -i # skip if using released tarball
./configure
make
make install
```
#### Using CMake
Here we also show an out-of-source build in the sub directory "build".
```
mkdir -p build
cd build
# to install to "/usr/local"
cmake ..
# or to install to "/usr"
#cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
make install
```
### Running cmatrix
After you have installed cmatrix just run `cmatrix` to run cmatrix :)
_To get the program to look most like the movie, use `cmatrix -lba`_
_To get the program to look most like the Win/Mac screensaver, use `cmatrix -ol`_
### Valuable information
If you have any suggestions/flames/patches to send, please feel free to
open issues and if possible solve them in PRs via Github.
_Note: cmatrix is probably not particularly portable or efficient, but it wont hog
**too** much CPU time_
