Matrix Falling Character Rain

Description
Base code shamelessly stolen from http://thecodeplayer.com/walkthrough/matrix-rain-animation-html5-canvas-javascript.

Modifications were primarily to change the characters from Chinese to Japanese (hiragana and katakana); I prefer the aesthetics this way.

This is just a goof because I wanted it personally. I might update after I've played around with Wallpaper Engine more, especially if I grok how to change, for example, the character colour via a setting in Wallpaper Engine rather than in the wallpaper files themselves.

Great Job, I like this a lot.

Apologies, but with class I haven't had time to work on figuring out how to add controls through Wallpaper Engine, and I hesitate to add them to the wallpaper itself anywhere as I don't want to break up the visual display.

I would recommend searching cybeerboy on the workshop (I believe it is) as he has a similar wallpaper that is normal letters, and I know he was working on implementing other options; if I wasn't on my phone I'd link you, but it's entirely possible his wall will satisfy your needs.

Any way to slow it down? Thanks! Great wallpaper.

Is there a way to get it to normal letters?

Lunk520, as requested I have published the binary version here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=858507166

I'd appreciate a binary version

I'm trying out a couple of approaches to fix the wallpaper stopping after a certain period of time; testing takes a while because I have to wait for it to crash. If either fix works I'll push an update. If neither of these approaches work, it's likely that the problem lies with chromium's implementation of canvas.

If anyone wants a couple of other versions, I have binary as well as hexadec versions. I just don't know if it's worth uploading them/if anyone cares.
