mikroMMB for dsPIC33 - "Matrix" movie Raining Code Example

Here's a little project over the weekend. All of you who like the movie "Matrix", will enjoy the example. It is available for download from mikroElektronika's Project Page (http://www.mikroe.com/eng/projects/index/). You are free to modify the code and play with it as much as you like. See if you can speed it up!

@tiagofumo You have a great eye for this stuff, we must agree on that. Your observation about repetitive spaces remains correct. It happens because the initial sentence lengths are only shuffled at the beginning. Afterward, sentences follow each other when the last letter at the top fades away. Since the source code is free to use, you can always adjust it so it uses more shuffle on each iteration.

@mikroElektronika hm, I now noticed that the letters are not repeating, but some patterns are, like this two big spaces in the middle... and I didn't see the source code... I'm talking about a feature from a tft lcd that I have here... wich could shift the pixels... it's good for photoframe and things like that... I didn't know that was possible or tought it was not important but I saw a friend working with it, and it made a good loocking stuff..anyway, nice job...this projects are really cool

@tiagofumo Actually, you should download the source code and analyze it a bit more. Each column is randomly generated and each letter in the column has a decay time. When the "sentence" is written all the way down the column, only then a new random sentence is being written from the top.

shifting the display data =)

the last line appears on the top and all the others are shifted... cool :p
