Description
Frozen precipitation physics simulator.

Marvel as it seemingly simulates the Coriolis effect, convection currents, and turbulent flow dynamics, and pulls real-time wind speed data from Winnipeg, Canada; then look at the source code and marvel again as you realize it doesn't do any of those things! Thanks to smurfier for helping achieve the absurd performance it has.

• Magically low CPU utilization.
• Runs at 40 frames per second.
• Amount of flakes, terminal velocity, and wind force can be configured in [Variables].

• Activate drag handle in context menu to move to another monitor.

If you like this, check out Rain, Matrix Code works-in-progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Aren't there programs out there written in native code that do the same thing, only faster and while using less resources?
A: Yes, but Rainmeter.
Q: How is that a valid rea...
A: RAINMETER!!!

CHANGELOG

[2014.06.05]
- Lua optimizations.

[2013.12.30]

- Optimized images with PNGGauntlet .

[2013.12.10]

- Fixed spawn gaps at top and bottom of screen.

[2013.12.08]

- Changed to bitmap graphics for nicer snowflakes and slightly less CPU usage.

- Increased particle count from 86 to 256 with no perceivable impact on performance; maximum possible unknown.

- No longer sets self to topmost on load.
