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 is inspired from 'The Matrix' movie. If you haven’t seen this movie and you are a fan of computers or sci-fi in general, go see this movie!!! > :grey_exclamation: : We are in no way affiliated in any way with the movie "The Matrix", "Warner Bros" nor any of its affiliates in any way, just fans. :open_file_folder: Build Dependencies You'll probably need a decent ncurses library to get this to work.
