Description

Matrix-style falling characters can turn a terminal into a visual screensaver or ambient display. This is useful for users who want a playful terminal effect with custom character sets, colors, speed, and density.

The program runs in the terminal and only draws text on screen. It does not secure the session like a real lock screen, so do not treat it as privacy protection.
