Question

I created the .bat file, but I want to open from cmd. How can I do that?

Community Answer

If you have clicked it and it has not opened itself, then save it again and name it. At the end of the name put .bat and then try.

Question

I've created my matrix batch file, but the cmd opens for just two-thirds of a second, and then the cmd closes. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

Try modifying your script to this: title MATRIX echo off cls :start echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% goto start

Question

Can creating Matrix Rain in command prompt harm my laptop?

Community Answer

No, it won't. The only thing that could happen is, because matrix rain goes on forever, it could crash CMD or, at the worst, your computer. However, you'd have to run it for ages for that to happen.

Question

Is there a way to modify the speed that it scrolls?

Community Answer

You cannot speed it up, but you can slow it down by making: echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%. timeout /t 1 /nobreak >nul goto start /t 1 = Time in seconds. /t 5 is 'wait 5 seconds'
