The Matrix

For the Ti-83/Ti-83+

BY: SAR

Description:

I made this program to compete with some of the pitiful Matrix screensavers that people have made since last April. I made it to show my friends and myself that I could make a program smaller and better. I added many of my friends’ suggestions to come up with the final version, which many all over my middle school wanted.

This program uses three files (1174 bytes), program Matrix (1065 bytes) as the base, program 0M(61 bytes) for creating a waiting period, and list M (about 48 bytes) for storage of all variables. First of all there is a title screen that allows you to jump to seeing the Matrix code or it automatically starts the entire program. If you do not press {2nd} for going straight to the code you will see what Neo saw on his computer screen before he met Trinity typed letter by letter. As it finishes ("Knock, Knock Neo") it will start coding the Matrix in a realistic type of way; the numbers (not spaced correctly to look like hexadecimal language) randomly position themselves horizontally in variable length (starting and ending height.)

Disclaimer:

By using this program you agree not to remove the author’s initials or name from any part of the program. This is not an assembly language program so it should not cause a malfunction in your calculator, but if it does the author is not responsible. The user can add or subtract code as long as it meets with this disclaimer.

Possible port:

I have been unable to learn assembly, so whosoever wishes may. I suggest that you use hexadecimal figures and make the layout virtually the same; this should cause maximum reality and faster speed. Please e-mail me when you complete the project so I may have a copy of a great program.
