This project is a fork of Domsson's beautiful <a

There are three color settings: head, tail, and background. They are configured
by setting the 24-bit RGB channels using `COLOR_*_RED`, `COLOR_*_GRN`, and
`COLOR_*_BLU` definitions. The ghosting effect of old monochrome screens is
achieved by scaling the RGB channels. This results in a rain effect that
closely resembles the original from the first Matrix movie.
In addition, this implementation supports UTF-32 character sets. The
`UNICODE_MIN` and `UNICODE_MAX` controls the Unicode block used. For
instance, setting them to `0x30A1` and `0x30F6` rains Katakana:
