rmatrix
Generates a 'Matrix'-like screen of falling characters in your terminal
The original cmatrix was written in C, and crashes when you wildly resize the window.
The rust version is memory-safe, and doesn't crash so easily.
This version uses crossterm for cross-platform terminal support without needing ncurses installed.
Controls
| Key | Control |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | Speed the letters fall (1 is fastest, 9 is slowest) |
| Shift + 1-9 | Colour of the characters |
| r | Rainbow mode |
Installation
cargo
cargo install r-matrix
Arch Linux
Install the stable crates.io release from the AUR:
yay -S rmatrix
Or install the latest source build from git:
yay -S rmatrix-git
Development
Install the local pre-commit hooks with:

The hooks run cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, and cargo test --all-targets --all-features.
GitHub CI runs the same checks on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
