Problem with version v0.10.2 (p5js)

First congratulations on the script, I was testing with version 0.10.2 and I found a problem with the word symbol, I believe it is a reserved word in this version.

I switched to symbolM and it worked!

I didnt fork this one so cant make a pull request thing, but watched your video. I made my own version in C using SDL to render to a window. It uses the same or similar techniques to yours. heres the repository. https://github.com/flightcrank/matrix-rain

I watched this tutorial on Coding Train and liked it very much. But I have some suggestions based on real movie green rain.

• First, symbols are not moving down but new symbols are being added at the end of stream.
• Second, symbols are not changing this much frequently.
• Third, streams are not starting just from top of screen, but from mid of screens too.

I think that adding these features will give more realistic feel.

Thank you.

So I was showing p5.js to one of my teachers and I wrote your code with some slight variations in speed, opacity and some colors and what happened is that Google Chrome showed me this :

I am not that proficient to figure out why does that happen but from what I know, it seems to me that the items in the array don't get dropped every time they finish looping, rather are just being stored until it runs out of memory.

If in any way my assumption is wrong please do correct me and explain why this occurs and what are some possible solutions for this. Thanks !

Is there a way to make the background transparent? I messed with eh code a bit and got it blue with white characters but trying any kind of alpha or no background causes all the character columns to turn into white bars. Reason is I thought this would be a cool effect for notifications on my game streams.
