i am trying to make a matrix screen program but i am unable to make the
characters "fall" from the top of the screen.
does anyone have an idea on how to do that?

the program below is not optimized.

thanks.


'---[ matrix.bas ]---

k% = 0
m% = 0
n% = 0
x% = 0
y% = 0
n = n + 14
CLS 0
COLOR 2
RANDOMIZE TIMER
DO WHILE m < 100
DO WHILE n < 256
x% = INT(RND * 25) + 1
y% = INT(RND * 79) + 1
LOCATE x%, y%
PRINT CHR$(n);
PRINT " ";
n = n + 1
LOOP
m = m + 1
n = 14
LOOP
LOCATE 13, 18
COLOR 10
PRINT "   T h e   M a t r i x   H a s   Y o u . . .   "
COLOR 0
DO WHILE k < 70000
k = k + 1
LOOP
SYSTEM
