The Matricizer is, obviously, a Matrix-style program that I whipped this morning. It's fun to play with, though, because it can display the contents of any file you enter in Matrix form! Seeing your favorite code files in a Matrix arrangement is much more fun, believe me. XD

Also, be sure to try putting in a "bad" filename; I've got a catcher in there for that too.

If you just want it to display constant, random data like the movie, then just leave the filename prompt blank.

One final thing: it's also prepped to act as an instant screen saver! Just rename it from The Matricizer.exe to The Matricizer.scr, then put it in your SYSTEM32 folder, and you're all set! ^_^

Windows compatible only, sorry. T_T

You can download it from FileFront at:

http://files.filefront.com/The+Matricizerexe/;13530427;/fileinfo.html

You can also get the original source code from FileFront at:

http://files.filefront.com/The+Matricizerbb/;13530428;/fileinfo.html

It's open-source, so do what you want with it. Enjoy!

if i hit enter at the beginning it says "end of line". [edit] everything makes it say end of line. even a real file.

oh crud, I forgot about that... I'll repost in a few minutes.

EDIT: Okay, problem fixed. I feel like an idiot for having it happen in the first place. XD

It starts and works, although i think the speed could be a little less, but when i moved the mouse before i hit enter for a filename it goes still straight to "End of Line".
You may want to check for mouse movement not before the thing starts?

That's odd... I didn't realize MouseXSpeed() & MouseYSpeed() had memory. Ah well.
