That trippy, Cyber Green raining code in The Matrix that is constantly changing has pretty much become synonymous with high tech computing, VR environments, AIs, and Robots. Originally, it represented the ever changing nature of the Matrix and the overwhelmingly complex incalculability of it all. So when Neo starts seeing things in Matrix-Text-O-Vision, it represents him seeing and being able to manipulate the underpinnings of reality. Nowadays, it's mostly used to convey "Look, high-tech computer with arcane, indecipherably alien power and mentality!" or as a Stock Parody for The Matrix. "Traditionally", the Raining Code will be green-on-black, flow from top to bottom, consist of normal letters and numbers with what looks like Japanese kana or other strange runes, and change text mid-fall. Newer adaptations will likely use a different color, direction for it to scroll, and text palette. Note that the original Matrix version used katakana characters and arabic numerals, mirror-flipped to obscure their shapes. The characters will generally leave 'ghosts' on the screen as they fall, reminiscent of old Apple II RGB monitors, symbolizing the Ghost in the Machine, of course. Often displayed with Stat-O-Vision and in the Holographic Terminal. Compare Cool Code of Source and Design Student's Orgasm. Wikipedia calls this "Matrix digital rain." |

Caprica carries on the Cylon example, and explains it as being a human (well, colonial human) programming language, specifically the one Zoe used to create her AI. Here, it's orange/red, rains upwards, and when it hits the top row it gets pinballed to the right where it's presumably 'executed'. | |

The loading area for Assassin's Creed has chemical formulas as well as other random bits of text floating about. And coding conveniently 'leaks' into the main game to highlight important stuff. Subverted in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where the flickering snippets of binary mean it is actually literally raining real code. Sorta. |

The Matrix's raining code was ripped/homaged from Ghost in the Shell (1995), which didn't rain, but did change characters, and flowed across the screen. Note that these characters were a machine-code translation of the English-language credits into which they transformed. | |

An episode of NUMB3RS has the computer in a DARPA sponsored project to develop an AI with Matrix code showing on its displays. This might have been a partial subversion, since a lot of the what the computer was doing was eye-candy to impress the folks footing the bill for it, and the actual 'AI program' was just an overblown version of 'Eliza'. | |

The Scrin campaign's cutscenes in Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars usually feature alien glyphs raining somewhere on the screen, explained as being the Unusual User Interface of the Scrin mothership. A notable example in the first cutscene is a horizontal string of glyphs shuffling and changing into Latin letters as the ship's AI is analyzing Earth's radio transmissions (the very same ones shown in various cutscenes in the other campaigns!) until it reads "LANGUAGE ASSIMILATION COMPLETE" in plain English; from that point on, all relevant messages appear in English. | |

Subverted in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where the flickering snippets of binary mean it is actually literally raining real code. Sorta. | |

In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, while you spent most of the area indoors, if you looked closely while standing outside in Sanctuary, you would notice that it's raining. Look even closer, and you'll see it's Matrix Raining Code, raining skyward. | |

Doctor Who: The revival has this in a roundabout way: the TARDIS' monitor displays whirling patterns of the clockwork-like Gallifreyan language. Used astonishingly in 1966 in the serial "The Tenth Planet," which uses this in its Episode Title Cards, evoking listening stations. |

Deus Ex has a "Matrix mode" cheat that turns the entire game into scrolling green text. Timesplitters: Future Perfect had a similar cheat code available for the multiplayer deathmatch mode. The second Bejeweled game also has such a cheat; typing 'network' during a game would convert the background to Matrix Raining Code. |

In The Book of All Hours duology, the description of Metatron's updated digital copy of the Book sounds like a mix of this and a spellbook, all written in the Cant, the magical ur-language. The digital Book is constantly adjusting to accommodate the appearances and deaths of other unkin, and can be read left to right and right to left, up and down, diagonally, and spiraling in toward the center while still retaining meaning in all different possible readings. | |

It doesn't rain, exactly, but Light Hope in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has a large patch of darkness with purple ones and zeroes in it, giving a similar feel and reinforcing that she's a holographic interface for a Precursors AI. | |

Battlestar Galactica: Notable in that the Cylons have it on their computer screens, data streams, and even as holograms projected onto the set. An interesting tidbit is that the first hybrid who is not a Mad Oracle (but oracular and sane) has blue rather than the typical Cylon red for his code holograms. Caprica carries on the Cylon example, and explains it as being a human (well, colonial human) programming language, specifically the one Zoe used to create her AI. Here, it's orange/red, rains upwards, and when it hits the top row it gets pinballed to the right where it's presumably 'executed'. |

Code Lyoko has constant raining blue "0" and "1" inside squares in the Lyoko Towers, the tunnels between the Sectors or over the surface of the Celestial Dome in Sector 5. Those squares can also be seen flowing on many background computer screens in the real world, colored green and looking more like classical Matrix Raining Code. | |
