Matrix rain, Conway's Game of Life and Mandelbrot set for terminals

In plain words

Matrix Rain, Conway's Game of Life and Mandelbrot Set for Terminals is a command-line tool that displays three visual simulations in terminal windows. It renders the falling digital rain effect from the Matrix films, implements Conway's Game of Life cellular automaton, and generates the Mandelbrot fractal set. The software is designed for users who want retro visual effects or mathematical visualizations in their terminal environment. It launched in 2020 and is available on GitHub.
