title: java falling matrix code (like the movie)
body: <p>If you wanted to write a program in java that uses a JFrame to simulate the falling green code from the matrix movie using ascii string characters so it looks exactly like this php example</p>

  <p>what would be the best way of doing it? labels, drawString? etc...</p>
  
  <p>I know that within a for-loop for example you could use the integer value i to decrease the y-axis values, darken the color setColor(new Color(255, 255 - (i * 5), 255));</p>
  
  <p>but i don't know how you would leave the "imprint" behind.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
