The Matrix: Char Reloaded

[amrith92]

Here's a funny program that simulates the matrix...waaay off topic...

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

const int NotUsed=system("color 02");

int main()
{
    clock();
    int n;
    double time;
    char matrixwords[]="  aijk FGHIJKlmnopqrs  ABCDtuvELMNO  PQRS bcde fghTUVWXYwxyzZ";
    char matrix[]="01001100100101011110";
    
    clock();
    for(int o=1; o<=70; o++)
    {
            cout << "/";
            }
            cout << "\n\n\t\t\tThe Matrix\n\n";
    for(int o=1; o<=70; o++)
    {
            cout << "/";
            }
            cout << "\n\n\tEnter Matrix ID: (KB's of Data) ::==:: ";
            cin >> n;
            for(double t=-1000; t<=1000000; t++);
            cout << "\n\n\tLoading Matrix Engine.";
            for(double t=0; t<=5; t++)
            {
                       for(double u=-10000; u<=10000000; u++);
                       cout << " . ";
                       }
                       time=clock()/1000.0;
                       cout << "\n\n\t\tYou waited " << time << " seconds for the matrix to generate\n\n\t";
    
    for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
    {
            for(int j=1; j<=60; j++)
            {
                    if((j%2==0) || (j%5==0) || (j%13==0))
                    {
                              int ran( rand()%21 );
                              cout << matrix[ran];
                              }
                              else if(j%3==0)
                              {
                                   int ran( rand()%66 );
                                  cout << matrixwords[ran];
                                  }
                                  else if(j%7==0)
                                  {
                                       int ran( rand()%66 );
                                       cout << matrixwords[ran];
                                       }
                                  else
                                  {
                                      int ran( rand()%66 );
                                      cout << matrixwords[ran];
                                      }
                    }
                    cout << "\n\t";
            }
            time+=clock()/1000.0;
    
    cout << "\n\n\tTotal Time Taken for the Matrix to Run: " << time << " s\n\n\t";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

programmed in c++.. kinda dumb..but still

[ArkM]

Yes, it's a severe blow for all C++-lovers...
And your question is...

[Tigran]

Compiled id, kindda funny ya, though...
Not really usefull to be honest :P

No question...I just thought it was kinda funny...it was in another forum, but got moved here...

Yeah...there is no point in the code...it just simulates the matrix

[ArkM]

Well, in that case a free advice for a C++ coder: look at the C++ language definition. Must be int main() , not improbable void main() in signature ;)...

Whatever it is, it looks pretty lame and probably could be improved with a clearscreen function that is system dependent.

Yeah...I know about that but int main() would need a return statement, which would make my signature 6 lines, one more than is allowed... and anyway, its only just a signature!

Reminds me of the grandaddy of all screensavers. Something like

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
  {
  srand( time( NULL ) );
  while (1) printf( "%*c", rand() % 15, '*' );
  return 0;
  }

(This, of course, is just the simplest possible version...)

[ArkM]

Thank you, Duodas, for this brilliant code!
It's so pity it's not a part of the C RTL...

[amrith92]

You gotta admit, the Classics are good!

Good news for amrith92: The C++ Standard does not require explicit return statement in int main() !

Hear, Hear! So this means my Signature is valid!! Anyways, it isn't a standard and I would urge myself never to comment on it again!
