C++ Matrix: The Matrix Reloaded in Terminals

C++ Matrix The Matrix Reloaded in Terminals Number falls, Banners, Matrix rains, Conway’s Game of Life and Mandelbrot set

I wrote a simple terminal program of Matrix digital rain. A part of the purpose of this program is to test the performance of terminal emulators. Another purpose is just for fun. Enjoy it with fast terminals e.g., urxvt, alacritty, terminology, etc.!
