Here's a list of customization options:
- **version** - the version of the Matrix to simulate. Can be "nightmare" or "1999" (default).
- **width** - the number of columns (and rows) to draw. Default is 80.

### technical details
The glyphs in this project are cleaned up vectors [from an old SWF](https://web.archive.org/web/20070914173039/http://www.atari.com:80/thematrixpathofneo/) archived in 2007.
The Matrix glyphs in this project are cleaned up vectors [from an old SWF](https://web.archive.org/web/20070914173039/http://www.atari.com:80/thematrixpathofneo/) archived in 2007.
(Please support the [Internet Archive!](https://archive.org/about/))
The Gothic glyphs in this project are derived from [Dr. jur. Robert Pfeffer's font "Silubur"](http://www.robert-pfeffer.net/gotica/englisch/index.html), which are inspired by the uncial script found in the [Codex Argenteus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Argenteus).
The glyphs are formatted as a multi-channel distance field (or MSDF) via Victor Chlumsky's [msdfgen](https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen). This format preserves the crisp edges and corners of vector graphics when rendered as textures. Chlumsky's thesis paper, which is in English and is also easy to read, is [available to download here](https://dspace.cvut.cz/handle/10467/62770).
The raindrops themselves are particles [computed on the GPU inside of a texture](https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_gpgpu_water.html), much smaller than the final render. The data sent from the CPU to the GPU every frame is negligible.
