💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so this is an assimilation of Matrix GL by Nightradio <nightradio@knoppix.ru> — the link is http://knoppix.ru/matrixgl.shtml if you wanna peek 👀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --root, -r — draw on the root window. main character energy on your whole desktop fr fr
  • --maxfps, -x number — set the maximum frame rate. so it doesn't go feral and eat your CPU 🍓
  • --vsync, -y number — limits redraws to a specified number of vertical refreshes. range is 0 - 100. default: 1 ✨
  • --dpms, -M number — stops rendering new frames if the display is not on. range is 0 - 1. default: 1 😴
  • --images, -i directory — the directory to load images from. if you omit it, the Matrix related images built into the screensaver are used instead 🎀
  • --scene_interval, -s number — how long an image stays in the matrix. range is 0 - 120. default: 5 👑
  • --matrix_interval, -m number — how long do the normal matrix thing between scenes. this one is meaningless if --scene_interval is 0, so heads up bestie. range is 3 - 120. default: 5 🧚
  • --matrix_width, -X number — horizontal matrix resolution. range is 40 - 320. default: 90 🦋
  • --matrix_height, -Y number — vertical matrix resolution. range is 30 - 240. default: 70 🌸
  • --contrast, -c number — image contrast %. range is 0 - 100. default: 75 💜

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. iconic behaviour honestly
