Matrix Digital Rain
index.ts
// RxJS v6+
import { interval } from 'rxjs';
import { scan } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { render } from './html-renderer';
import { markForRemoval, updateDrops, updateMatrix } from './matrix';
​
interval(300)
  .pipe(
    scan<number, any[]>(matrix => (
      markForRemoval(matrix),
      updateDrops(matrix),
      updateMatrix(matrix)
    ), [])
  ).subscribe(render);
matrix.ts
const drop = (x: number, y: number) => ({ x, y, d: [], remove: false });
const random = (max: number) => Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
const ranodmChar = () => String.fromCharCode(random(128));

  );

    drop =>
      (drop.d = drop.remove
        ? drop.d.slice(1).map(e => ranodmChar())

  );
export const updateMatrix = matrix => [
  ...matrix,
  drop(random(window.innerHeight) / 4, random(window.innerWidth))
];
html-renderer.ts
const createElem = drop => {
  const elem = document.createElement('div');

export const render = matrix => {
  document.body.innerHTML = '';
  const container = document.createElement('div');
  container.style.position = 'relative';
  matrix.forEach(m => container.appendChild(createElem(m)));
  document.body.appendChild(container);
