I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.\n\n -- _Cypher_\n\n## Overview \n\nMy take at an implementation of the [digital character rain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_digital_rain) \nas seen in \"The Matrix\". \n\nSome things you might like about fakesteak:\n\n - Small footprint (low on RAM and disk usage)\n - Good performance (low on CPU usage)\n - Looks pretty close to the original (fading, glitches)\n - Basic customization via command line options\n - No dependencies (not even ncurses)\n - Clean, well commented code\n - Public Domain\n\nSome things that might rub you the wrong way:\n\n - No Japanese characters (for simplicity\u0027s sake)\n - Not cross-platform (no Win/Mac)\n\nSuccessfully tested on Linux (urxvt, xterm, lxterm, uxterm), FreeBSD (st) and WSL2. \nFeedback on compatibility with your OS / distro / terminal is very welcome; \nyou can open an issue to let me know.\n\n## Dependencies / Requirements\n\n- Terminal that supports 256 colors ([8 bit color mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#8-bit))\n- Requires `TIOCGWINSZ` to be supported (to query the terminal size)\n- Requires Make for building\n\n## Package\n\nfakesteak might also be available as a package:\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/fakesteak.svg)](https://repology.org/project/fakesteak/versions)\n\n## Building / Running\n\nYou can just run `make`. After that, you should be able to run it from the `bin` directory:\n\n    make\n    ./bin/fakesteak\n    \nOptionally, you can install fakesteak for all users and then run it from wherever:\n\n    make install\n    fakesteak\n\n## Usage\n\n    fakesteak [OPTIONS...]\n\nOptions:\n\n  - `-b`: use background color\n  - `-d`: drops ratio ([1..100], defaul",
