-There's [blessed](https://github.com/chjj/blessed) and [node-ncurses](https://github.com/mscdex/node-ncurses) which would have helped but rather than using the library I wanted to learn how console cursor manipulation works behind the scenes. I browsed through the source code of [colors.js](https://github.com/marak/colors.js/) and got a few pointers. Thank you github.

-I've been programming for 6 years full time but on that day I discovered terminal escape codes. I googled around and found [VT100 ANSI codes table](http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences-vt-100.php)
+Node's process.stdout has a columns and rows property. It also fires resize events like the browser. With escape codes I can treat the terminal as a canvas and paint on it. I discovered a new medium to show my art.
 
-I disovered process.stdout has a columns and rows property. It also fires a resize even when console is resized. With escape codes I can clear the screen, move the cursor to any position in the screen, change colors and do really cool things which previously I thought was vodoo magic. There's even support for 8 bit colors in console. Whoah! All I have to do is write the appropriate escape code sequence in stdout and that is it.

-I learned a couple of things
-
- * Its faster if I flush commands to stdout when I have finished rendering a frame rather than doing it immediately
- * Writing utf-8 is slower than ascii. I tried random kanji characters but it was about twice as slow. Not sure why.
- * Rather than clearing entire screen and drawing the everything again, its much faster to only modify parts of screen that have changed.
- 
-Initial algorithm somewhat worked. I wondered what else I could do. I used a trick to change swap numRows and numCols and I could render the matrix horizontally. Rather than generate random ascii characters, what if I could read characters from a file.
-
-This had an interesting side effect that it was a great visualization of the source code. It looked like the computer was programming itself in parallel. I changed the code so it uses jquery.js and voila! I was reading snippets of jquery source code. While I took my dog for a run, I left it running. My wife (non-technical) sent me a message "Hey your computer is in the matrix, its really cool!". Younger noj would be very impressed of older noj.

-The source code matrixRain.coffee is < 200 lines of code.
