I want to make the falling matrix effect like this http://imgur.com/rOJRC,NPlKz#0 is that possible and how
someone already made something like that
Here is the link:

Awesome thanks!
I experimented with this myself (results below) as it chimed with my recent experiments with fonts and the UTF-8 format. This was inspired by the Handling Touches example project. (Updated)

Here’s my stupid little physics matrix effect: http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/Talk/discussion/2933/physical-matrix-effect
Here’s a little program that gives a matrix drip effect to any picture, it does it while you watch

How to:
Double tap the bottom quarter of the screen to freeze the camera (permanently). Double tap anywhere else to swap the camera source.
