| | | You've seen the rest, now try the best! DX Matrix closely emulates the scrolling code as seen in the movie. To run the program, you need to have installed DirectX 7 (or higher), the VB6 runtime and, for best results, the matrix true type font as supplied. Use P to pause the matrix, and escape to exit. NOTE: DX Matrix II is now available. The most realistic Matrix emulation package yet, featuring 3 simulations from the movie, and realistic sound - visit my WEB site to download it - http://www.dhutchison.freeuk.com

Isnt this a same screen saver that is
on web page of matrix movie. Its
completly the same.
Well anyway I have
a prob.
When I run ti it sas Run Time
error -2005532552 Automation Error
|

Sorry folks - forgot to mention that if
your display won't support 24-bit
colour, you'll get the error message as
reported by the guy above. It can be
fixed by either altering the colour
depth in control panel (display
settings) or by changing the 24 value
in the 'Call
dxDirectDraw7.setdisplaymode' source
code line to 32. 16 or 8 may work but
the results won't be as good. Hey -
this is my first post, so I'm allowed
one mistake!

Looks nice but I'd lower the timer to
like 15-25. Makes it look more like on
the movie. It was dropping way to
slowly at 100.

Perfect. This is the ONLY Matrix
saver/program on the whole PSC that is
actually REAL... 5 globes from me,
buddy.

Great work! Excellent vote from
me!
How would you set it as a screen
saver. I Complied it as a .scr, but i
think there needs to be some kind of
handling to recognize mouse movement,
and keep it from running multiple
instances. If any one has done this I
would appreciate any help.

This leaves all others in the dust! 5
earthly globes up!

By the way, I'm running 16-bit colour
depth and got the same automation
error. I simply recompiled the exe and
it works just fine.
|

You can run in 32 bit.
like the last
guy, just re-compile it.

Great work, we've all been waiting for
'a Matrix' of this quality for quite a
while! well done!
|
1/27/2001 7:50:37 AM:Deathmoon

|
1/27/2001 9:20:57 AM:silverx10
Excellent, and so very little code
involved! 5 Globes from me, bud! :)
|
1/27/2001 11:33:24 AM:Rubenm14
if you change the
Call
dxDirectDraw7.SetDisplayMode(640, 480,
32, 0, DDSDM_DEFAULT)
to
Call
dxDirectDraw7.SetDisplayMode(640, 480,
16, 0, DDSDM_DEFAULT)
you can use it
as 16 Bit!

I fail to see what all the commotion's
about. This is pretty average.
|
1/29/2001 10:09:14 AM:Pooh
I agree with *most* everyone else:
Excellent. I've been waiting for
someone to take the time and do it.
(I'm too busy) heh. Worth 5 Planets
from me too!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Much appreciated! I've been making the

some options and will be posting a new
version soon.

Good Job....I have been teaching my
self how to program with direct X and I
have been playing around with your
program to help me learn. I have a
question though. I want to display it
at the resolution 800 x 600, but when I
change to that resoulution in the code,
the lines only go about 3/4 of the way
down the screen. How to I get the
matrix lines to extend to the very
bottom? If you could email me with any
help I would highly appreciate it.
