gomatrix's Issues

Possible rasnsomware

Last night I was running Ubuntu in Windows Subsystem for Linux and grabbed this file. As I'm trying to learn the go language. When I ran this program I immediately noticed a huge loss in speed on the terminal and when I checked the 'top' program I saw where there were tons of 'wget' commands running in the background. Specifically, 'wget -q -O- --tries=1 http://169.254.169.254'. I immediately started trying to kill the wget processes but new ones just kept popping up. This was on a brand new install of Ubuntu WSL, and I had not downloaded anything other than a few applications from the repositories that I have installed on multiple linux desktops and servers. So I know it didn't come from the repositories. It HAD to have been from this software. Also, after running this 'go' software I noticed it started pulling in more 'go' programs into the same folder. I wish I had more info on the names of those programs but I immediately deleted all the 'go' software and shutdown Ubuntu WSL, followed by deleting Ubuntu WSL. Lucky for me Windows Defender blocked this and immediately reported it to my corporate office.

Display error occurs after a few hours of running

Occurs after running for a period of time. Requires reset in the terminal window to get back to normal. The attachment is not the full error as scrolling is disabled and cannot grab the entire error.

Opening connection to The Matrix.. Please stand by..

Need I install custom font(s) ?
Thanks for this package !

Love it, But Sloooow

Compared to cmatrix, which we have on the system for our students afraid it is too slow to install. I'm guess the algorithm is substantially different. Really too bad because I was going to use it as a replacement for cmatrix to show off Go's capabilities to students. Might be the underlying termbox that is the bottleneck.

Streams with a size greater then the terminal height are not cleared from screen

Version tag

Would be nice to have a version tag, mark history where a good version sits, easier to package.

Investigate options for terminals with transparent background

When a terminal has a transparent background, it is slowly being filled with black background by gomatrix.
Either completely fill the background with black upon start, or find a way to not set the background color (keep it clear, or whatever color was predefined).
