no-more-secrets VS matrix

Your comparison is a bit disingenuous. I thought that the reasonable point of comparison was obvious, so let me state it in case it's not:

* For this C program: Let's say a default install of a Debian system, with GCC and Make installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run make && ./bin/nms.

* For an hypothetical JavaScript implementation: Same Debian system, with Node.js installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run node ./src/nms.js.

Now tell me that the second point would ever happen, of course without the obvious trick of vendoring tens or hundreds of dependencies in the repo itself. Given the current trends and ecosystem incentives in the JS development world, I highly doubt it.

These trends only favor mindless composition, of which the latter is good, but the former is bad. IMHO most devs would probably not even consider the idea of writing a compact, self-contained piece of code and have their own termio [1] or charset [2] implementations, to begin with.

I would love to see someone use this to do the "No More Secrets" effect from Sneakers in a film or TV show. It still looks so cool.

Just in case if you're wondering what are those alien looking things appearing in my CLI, that is NMS (no more secrets), just a tool to prank your friends. I'll leave a link as well😺

To fellow lovers of that film: allow me to introduce you to No More Secrets, an implementation of the decryption effect shown in the film.

If you've seen the movie "Sneakers" you'll probably want to check this out. And if you haven't seen Sneakers, then watch it.

for lazy people

if you like that one then you'll likely enjoy this[1] one also

Then you'll love this project. The Holographic demo supports the Looking Glass display and I'm pretty sure natively supports the Kinect Azure but also works with a webcam.

Impressive for ChatGPT. The best I've seen is still https://github.com/Rezmason/matrix

[0] Customizable version of the open source Matrix Code by Rez Mason with easier configuration UI

That's awesome OP! Thanks for sharing! I'm also a huge fan of the movies. The matrix rain effect was a little off for me. I really recommend take a look at https://github.com/Rezmason/matrix. This is the best public matrix rain effect. Was also recognized by the Matrix directors as a good one. So you can mimic the effect and get the glyphs in the repository.

I missed it at first so here’s a direct link to the demo: https://rezmason.github.io/matrix/
