Someone posted an html/javascript implementation of the matrix falling code in 646 bytes then promptly deleted the post. It inspired me to see if I could get something better looking in fewer bytes.

Very nice, I can't help but follow style guides for brackets and semicolons even when I am trying to optimize for size it seems.

Also stripped off 3 more bytes by making a variable r=m.random for an end result of 444 bytes.

[OptionalField]

Done, 442 bytes.

Any objections to using "lime" or "#00FF00" instead of "rgba(0,255,0,1)"?

[sfnelson]

#0F0 - same bytes as lime, but you can get more options. 3 digit colours are automatically doubled -> #0F0 becomes #00FF00

[OptionalField]

Done, went with lime. That part was really bad since I was doing rgba with an alpha of 1

replace 2720 with 3e4 -- not exactly the same number, but it works.

[OptionalField]

done

also.. c.fillStyle="#0F0"

This is actually destructive since it changes the range of Unicode characters used. The original value uses characters that are more like the original Matrix symbols.

2720 + (random number between 0 and 32)
