Matrix effect in terminal with FOSS icons
Matrix effect in terminal with FOSS icons
Hi, I was playing with rusty-rain when I decided that it was a good idea to make a custom FOSS effect. For this I made a change in "sibling" project ezemoji PR and with a small local change in rusty-rain I got it. All icons are from Nerd Fonts, so if you know of some FOSS icon is missing let me know to add it in the PR, =).
That is so ridiculously useless.
So how do I set this up myself?
You need to apply 2 patches one in rusty-rain and another in ezemoji. In the main post I linked a PR for the ezemoji patch, you need that branch as dependency. Also there, I pasted another patch to be used on rusty-rain that uses your modified, local version of ezemoji, and a extra flag to choose FOSS icons. I'll update instructions on the PR.
Sweet, thank you
Reminds me of the package "cmatrix"
Cmatrix with icons instead hahhah
And even allows emojis!
You can say it's a Rust port, I was thinking why not make a better "cmatrix" and ended up finding rusty-rain, very neat!
This is cool! How hard would it be to have a list where you can select which icons to have. That way you can pick the FOSS apps/services that you like or are using
Nothing hard, you need to create in ezemoji a group that contains the codepoints of the glyphs you like and in rusty-rain add that group as an option. Check my ezemoji PR that's the example you need because I did exactly that.
Wut tiling manager is that?
It's Hyprland, also I'm using waybar and tmux.
