Matrix Effect in you terminal

gistfile1.sh

echo -e "\e[1;40m" ; clear ; while :; do echo $LINES $COLUMNS $(( $RANDOM % $COLUMNS)) $(( $RANDOM % 72 )) ;sleep 0.05; done|awk '{ letters="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789@#$%^&*()"; c=$4; letter=substr(letters,c,1);a[$3]=0;for (x in a) {o=a[x];a[x]=a[x]+1; printf "\033[%s;%sH\033[2;32m%s",o,x,letter; printf "\033[%s;%sH\033[1;37m%s\033[0;0H",a[x],x,letter;if (a[x] >= $1) { a[x]=0; } }}'

I love this

Cool command! I'd like to change the characters printed to terminal, but any change I make to the string in 'letters' returns the error "awk: illegal statement at source line 1 - 5 missing ]'s". Anyone know what all I need to change for that?

This is sweet. Thanks! I've created an updated version that clears columns from above and exits and clears the screen upon a key press: https://gist.github.com/dhaiducek/174cdb04a5a51f016c6ca69ece721b17
(I changed it to show only zeros and ones since I couldn't get it to change to a foreign alphabet without changing my system settings.)

Made fork which erases the columns when its full.
