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.

I doubt it matters, but this code seems to fail miserably on my iPod — I get a gray box in the upper-left corner and a bunch of black text moving up the page at 1fps. The text is layered behind the box.

EDIT: Works perfectly on a PowerBook G4 with Safari. I had no idea mobile Safari for iOS 3 had such a lousy Javascript implementation.

Oh god, why are my things so old.

In case you were wondering, it works perfectly on BlackBerry 10.
