Matrix digital rain, Matrix code or sometimes green rain, is the computer code featured in the Matrix series. The falling green code is a way of representing the activity of the virtual reality environment of the Matrix on screen by kinetic typography. All three Matrix movies, as well as the spin-off The Animatrix episodes, open with the code. It is a characteristic mark of the franchise, similar to the opening crawl in Star Wars.

Background[edit]

In the film, the code that comprises the Matrix itself is frequently represented as downward-flowing green characters. This code uses a custom typeface designed by Simon Whiteley,^[1] which includes mirror images of half-width kana characters and Western Latin letters and numerals.^[2] In a 2017 interview at CNET, he attributed the design to his wife, who comes from Japan, and added, 'I like to tell everybody that The Matrix's code is made out of Japanese sushi recipes'.^[3] The effect resembles that of the older green screen displays, since the letters leave a fluorescent trace on the screen.^[4]

One predecessor of the digital rain exists in a 'code-scene' of the movie Meteo [hu], a Hungarian experimental-pop culture movie from 1990. The 1995 cyberpunk film Ghost in the Shell, a strong influence on The Matrix,^[5][6] features opening credits similar to the digital rain.

No official version of the code's typeface actually used in the Matrix trilogy and in the website for the game Path of Neo has been released. Several imitations have been made, mostly in the form of screensavers.

Cultural impact[edit]

Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen named a track 'Digital Rain', in honour of the movie, on his 2010 album Victims of the Modern Age by his band Star One.

The effect also inspired the creation of many unofficial Matrix screensavers.^[7]

Font WAY to SMALL :(

Good screensaver but somehow the animation is very slow on my MacBook. The OS is Catalina. How can I fix it?

I agree with Damien, the font is super small. Weird that you can adjust everything except the font size. I'm reluctant to actually purchase it without knowing whether I can increase the font. The last one I had (RedPill) was brilliant and I really loved it, but it won't work with Catalina : (

I'd give this 5 starts if it was possible to adjust the font size.

Been using this a while and love it. I noticed it stopped working on Mojave so disabled it and wasn't aware until now that it had been fixed. Just updated and it is working for me on Catalina. Although, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the rain looks so small. I'm sure it's a lot smaller than before. Unless you look very close, it now just looks like green lines almost. Anyone else? Please could this be looked at?

Fine but doesn't work any more on Catelina. Please provide an update.

Yes I have the same problem. It would be nice to have it on Mojave

Screensavers Planet: The file's been updated to work on Mojave. Please try again.

Matrix Rain Screensaver Windows 10

Great screensaver however I upgraded my MacOS to Mojave and it stopped working. Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks.

doesn't work for majove which sucks was really liking forward to it

Wasn't supported after Snow Leopard but managed to still work for whatever reason until Mojave came along. So don't download until developer says otherwise... =/

It only plays for a few seconds then shows a 'PURCHASE REGISTRATION' mark instead. MatrixGL is free and has the option to create 3D images from the characters (or not) as well as change the color, et cetera.

this is great though can it just be left at the code going down not the popup text and water marks

to remove payment advice open container folder and delete 'payment'.png file.

nice!!!

nice

like it

This screen saver is amazing! I just thought that a Matrix type screen saver would be really great to have, but I needed one for mac. This one worked perfectly, and I've gotten lots of comments on it.

This is the best Matrix screensaver i have seen, it work perfectly on multiple monitors and looks great
