Matrix Digital Rain update (ZX Spectrum)

The MATRIX Challenge, organized by Retro Programmers Inside, is over and here is my updated entry, which is the result of my previous experiments. I added a bit of interactivity, allowing to change either the visual effect and the colours.

You can watch the video or just start playing with the web browser version (powered by JSSpeccy emulator).

My implementation of the Matrix Digital Rain effects for the ZX Spectrum

While the code rain animation is running, you can change the effects
by pressing the following numeric keys:

  • 7: set mode to “inverted drops”
  • 8: set mode to “standard” (default)
  • 9: set mode to “woman in red”

You can change the colour by pressing the following numeric keys:

  • 1: blue
  • 2: red
  • 3: magenta
  • 4: green
  • 5: cyan
  • 6: yellow

A cool video with all the entries to the MATRIX Challenge has been made available by Retro Programmers Inside:
