pde-matrix-screensaver's Introduction

Matrix-Screensaver

A screensaver that looks somewhat like that famous scene. Done in processing. I know it isn't the first of of kind, but it also serves as an example on how to create windows screensavers using processing. It looks somewhat like this: matrix.gif

Features

  • The screensaver can be installed and configured by right-clicking like you'd expect
  • It allows you to edit a lot of values changing how it looks
  • multi-screen support
  • You can add a border on the right and/or left, for example to only display it on one screen
  • non-intrusive update checking
  • Uses a katakana font. Not sure if that is canon, but it looks cool

Installation

I'll post a release soon, but you can also put it together yourself:

Processing

  1. Download the source code and open matrix.pde in the processing ide
  2. (Optional) Run it once to generate the data/config.txt if you want to include it
  3. Compile it for Windows x64 using processing

Making a screensaver

The screensaver executable is written in autoHotkey which you need to install in order to compile it. Note: The autoHotkey script currently only works with the compiled jarfiles for x64 operating systems

  1. Compile the Screensaver/matrix.ahk using autoHotkey.
  2. Rename the generated matrix.exe to matrix.scr
  3. Copy application.windows64/data and application.windows64/lib to Screensaver/matrix You should now be able to launch the screensaver by simply clicking on matrix.scr. (You can delete matrix.ahk now, if you want)
