A simple Ruby gem that takes a phrase and writes it back to the screen, one letter a time, as if each character was being "decoded", Matrix-style.
# default foreground color on background color
$ matrext "hello world"
# red text on green background
$ matrext -c red -b green "hello world"
# white text on blue background, at insane speed
$ matrext -c white -b blue -s insane "hello world this is your computer speaking to you"Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/michaelchadwick/matrext.
