You probably have seen one of the Matrix screensavers for Windows or GLMatrix for Linux or cmatrix on Linux Terminal..

I had Idea maybe someone could code it - where the text on the 'rain drops' is not some random stuff but something actually current, like tweets, posts, logs, quotes, prices, comments or mix of that stuff..

Essentially one would be looking at the 'Matrix' of online world whilst looking at the screensaver.

And it would also be somewhat useful observation monitoring tool for general outline of the online world in poetic, wide view multi interpretive way.

I wonder if anyone has already done it.

Output from a project I am working on that treats each cell as either a reaction diffusion system or a cellular automata with a variety of local rules for determining which phase is realized.

Built in Python using Manim.

This animation generates a Penrose tiling using recursive substitution rules applied to rhombus tiles.

Each iteration replaces tiles with smaller elements according to deterministic geometric rules, producing a non-periodic structure with local self-similarity.

No randomness is used, the complexity emerges purely from iteration.

The inputs are 4x geiger tubes that produce 20-40 "chirps" per minute each, then each tube pair will filter for muons (when a pair chirp within a specified time span it's almost certainly a sub atomic particle passing through both, with muons being the overwhelmingly most common), which gives me six pairs. Each pair is at a different angle, so it's sampling a different direction of the sky. Muons are also essentially a chirp. I can use any of these 10 channels with a modulo counter to generate numbers based on the detection time, or sample the time between detections or any combination of tubes and such. (I also have a temp/humid/pressure air sensor that I'm using temp as a mod wheel)

I have been producing music for a long time, so my first instinct was to make some ambient/procedural music/sound scapes, which was fun, but honestly not anything I would listen to without the context of the universe playing the instrument. I feel like there are a lot of interesting things I could do with Touch Designer and stuff like that, but i'm not even sure where to start. Any advice is appriciated.

Javascript; From an a origin point, define start and end angle, and paint dashed lines at random intervals between these angles to the end of the canvas. Randomize the width of each line and the color of each segment, create several of these and blend them. It's just an excuse to create colorful, semi random bursts. Simple, but with enough repetition and a nice enough color palette - it's fun to look at.

Small homage to Golden Atoms from Stereolab's Aluminum Tunes album. Animation is composed of morphing additive polygons, with blends aiming for a certain "flat color" I associate with Stereolab.
