These samples use a LedControl (library for the MAX7221 and MAX7219 Led display drivers) to switch LEDs ON/OFF.

Matrix as a 64-bit long integer

State of the 8x8 matrix can be presented as an unsigned long integer (uint64_t).
In this case the code is pretty compact. Like this code for Arduino:

Matrix as array of bytes

Some people prefer to operate with arrays of bytes instead of long integers.
This case is also supported. Here is example of using an array of bytes in binary format:

Animation data in PROGMEM

Arduino has limited amount of RAM. For example my UNO based on ATmega328P has only 2KB of RAM. Not very much. But it has 32KB of Flash memory. Why not to use it for storing animations? No problem. Just push this data into the PROGMEM and then read them.

May 25, 2003

Version 1.5.2 released. Another quick bug-fix release. Mainly done to address the rendering issue showing up in opaque mode. I'm also taking this release as a chance to tidy things up a bit. Removed the upgrade installers. They were too much trouble to maintain, and I had gotten lazy and stopped differentiating them from the full installs anyways.

On a somewhat related note, I got to go see The Matrix Reloaded today. Good film. Got to see a friend's name in the credits, very cool, Sam, you rock.

May 21, 2003

Version 1.5.1 released. This is a quick follow-up release to 1.5.0 to address column spacing problems that were sometimes occurring with the newer Matrix Code Font bundled with 1.5.0. This release uses the older, more dependable font.

May 19, 2003

Version 1.5.0 released. First new release in a long time. Done in time (more or less) for the new Matrix film. This release includes some spiffy new features such as the 'Special String Streams' and the addition of the Winamp Visualization Plugin. Less flashy/notable additions include the new references to the help documentation (online and in the program), and the addition of a dialog to shamelessly plug myself to people in need of a software developer. Many thanks to those who suggested new features and reported bugs.

Also of note in this new release are the updates to the credits/acknowledgments. The original author of the matrix screensaver that this project was based off of contacted me and let me know that his new website is www.elouai.com. The producer of the 'Matrix Code Font' bundled with ZMatrix is now known as e-RBi, you can visit his website at e-rbi.com, or email him at contact@e-rbi.com.

February 3, 2003

Version 1.4.8 released. Quick bug fix to take care of the 'top or left positioned taskbar' problem which was supposed to be fixed before, but wasn't completely.

February 1, 2003

Version 1.4.7 released. The most important change in this version is the addition of Win9x/Me support. I am recommending Win98 or later with IE 5.0 or later installed, but if someone has success running on earlier system specs., post a message in the Discussion Forums and let me, and everyone else know. Also, please note that I'm no longer bundling the MS Gothic font with ZMatrix, but am using a much smaller, Matrix specific font. Much thanks goes to the developer of this font: Realm Beyond iNSANiTY (RBi), see the readme for information on the font.

January 13, 2003

Version 1.4.6 released. More bug fixes and some new features such as different blending modes, and screen saver specific configuration.

January 4, 2003

Version 1.4.5 released. A bugfix release. This one should remove the 'Failed to get RGN for SysListView' error message being reported by some people. This error seems to have been occurring if there were no icons on the desktop.

I'd also like to thank all the people who have reported bugs, and helped in the debugging of the last two versions of ZMatrix.

January 3, 2003

Version 1.4.4 released. Mostly a bugfix release. Continued improvement of the Active Desktop support, and hopefully better XP compatibility. Also, I am now providing an 'Upgrade' installer for people who already have a version of ZMatrix installed... The idea is to reduce the download size for people on dial-up. See the change log/history below for a list of all changes.

On a completely unrelated note: when did so many download sites start to suck so much? CNet/Downloads.com/WhateverTheHellElseTheyWantToCallThemselves won't even let me update my software posting with them unless I pay $79. Tucows now has a seperate login location for us non-subscribed authors, and is constantly trying to convince you to shell out for faster update processing. Now, I thought that these sites were supposed to have a mutually beneficial relationship with software authors... by having our software posted, we bring them page hits, and they in return get us a larger audience for our software. Anyways, I'm ranting... but there is a point: I'd like to give full credit to Major Geeks for being the best download site to deal with.

December 25, 2002 -- Merry Christmas

Version 1.4.3 released. Many bug fixes and new features in this release. This release should work reasonably well with Active Desktop. For a complete list of the changes in this version, see the change log at the bottom of this page. Please let me know of any problems experienced with this version of the program via the sourceforge web interfaces listed at the top of the page. I've also started taking donations of any amount from anyone who enjoys the program, and feels that it's worth something. Also, to help shrink the download size of the program, I'm looking into a web-install, so that un-needed elements (namely, the font used by the program) don't have to be downloaded if they're already on the target machine.

August 29, 2002

Version 1.4.2 released. Version 1.4.1 was accidentally bundled as a debug build. Sorry.

August 28, 2002

Version 1.4.1 released with multiple bug fixes.

Also, just to notify anyone who cares, I'll be leaving on a trip in mid September, and I likely won't be back till early to mid December (a guy wears just one 'FBI Relocation Program' T-Shirt, and they say your cover's blown... geeez). I'm just kidding. I will be away though, so there likely won't be updates for a while, and questions sent to zmatrix_background@hotmail.com will likely not be answered for a while.

August 19, 2002

Version 1.4.0 released with significant changes. Source code is now released under GNU GPL.

August 16, 2002

Project hosting moved to SourceForge.

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE (preferably dead): One elusive bug. I've had more than one report of people receiving an error message stating 'Error, couldn't get RGN for SysListView32'. For some people, the message is persistent (every time the program starts or refreshes), for others, it is transient (happens once in a while). I have been unable to reproduce this error message on my machine, although enough people have mentioned it to me to assure me that it exists. What I'd like is for anyone who:

  1. Has or is willing to get the source for the program (see the Development section below),
  2. Can compile the main module of the source using MSVC, AND
  3. Can reproduce the error on their computer

to send me an email (zmatrix_background@hotmail.com), and hopefully take some time to help me track down and get this bug. I've got a suspicion regarding how it can be solved, but since I can't reproduce it on my system, I can't really efficiently try it out and see.

March 21, 2002

By request, I have made the source code for the program publicly available. Use the 'Development' link on the left, or scroll down to the development section for the download. The code is intended primarily as a learning tool, but I have tried to ensure that anyone can use it as they need it. For that reason, it is distributed under a BSD style license. The specifics of the licensing can be found in the README.txt file within the zip. In order to fully compile the code, you will need both Visual Studio (6.0) and Borland C++ Builder (6.0). Hopefully this will not be a problem for too many people. If there are files which I have neglected to include in the source distribution, or if you have comments on/fixes for the code, feel free to email me at zmatrix_background@hotmail.com .

Feb. 06, 2002

Well, I just realized that this little program is being linked to by a few places (even got USA Today's 'Pick of the Day' on Feb. 04, 2002). So I guess it's time to add a download counter and add some more 'user friendly' features to the program. Here's what I'm considering doing:

-Improving (read: creating) 'Active Desktop' compatibility. [suggested by Paul V.]
-Investigate functionality on a dual monitor setup. [suggested by Samantha]
-Have the program function as a screensaver as well as a background. [suggested by Robyn T.]
-Port the program to KDE and/or GNOME. [suggested by Paul F.]

If there's anything else you think should this program should do (besides walk, talk, and work under Win9x), feel free to send the suggestion to zmatrix_background@hotmail.com .
