About

A C++ program to replicate the famous prompt on Neo's screen from "The Matrix"

Requirements

Packages: git make gcc

Installation

Manual

Clone the repo

Cd into the newly cloned folder

$ cd wake_up.cpp

Compile the binary

$ make

Copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/ to add it to PATH

Compatibility

Please note that this program was developed and intended for Linux. It uses system commands, such as "clear" and "read". I do not own a MacOS environment or a BSD environment (and too lazy to set up one), but any help with porting will be greatly appreciated.

Planned features

• "help" and "version" flags
• "loop" mode
• "screensaver" mode
• customizable delays and effects
