Coding along with the Coding Train again. Today it was the Matrix rain episode. Couldn't get glowy text to work. Seems GFILL and GPUTCHR don't draw anything if alpha isn't 255. Mangled the stream concept too, it is just a function that generates symbols in my version. I think it still looks pretty good.

Yeah wow! I really wish transparency worked in SmileBASIC

The Japanese community is probably laughing at this, all the random words

After about ten minutes, I was able to come up with this ^

Very nice Nathaniel, how did you do the glow, did you have to pixel plot everything manually? If you change the characters to A to Z it doesn't look too different. But maybe we do get laughed at for the nonsense words.

I used a group of nine transparent sprites.

Wow!

Tried it with pixel processing. Somewhat works but it is several seconds per frame.

Another slower but probably better blur attempt.

If you mix the displayed graphics page and the group of sprites, you can come up with this!
