Matrix Loader

After about 9 years in the making, I've finally managed to finish pixelling my Matrix image, a picture done in the style of the old C64 Ocean loading screens.

As an afterthought, I've asked Trooper to throw together some code to draw the image onto the screen a character block at a time and play some music, so it now looks a little like an actual game loading, minus flashing bars in the border.

I could have chosen to use one of the 4 versions of the Ocean Loader music but thought that may be a bit predictable.  The music used instead is by Matthew Cannon and I've been informed that it was going to be a new Ocean Loader tune or for use on an Ocean re-release label 'Hit Squad', but was never used.

The image surround does not use the original Matrix 'rain' symbols, but the letters may contain an Easter egg.  There is no game unfortunately. This is just a tribute.
