Activity

This session focused on adding a major visual feature and creating comprehensive project documentation.
Matrix Rain Effect: The most significant update is the implementation of the iconic matrix rain effect.
A new matrix command was added to toggle the animation.
This was achieved by adding an HTML <canvas> element and writing a JavaScript function to draw the falling green characters, creating a dynamic background.
The effect can be turned on and off seamlessly, allowing the user to customize their experience.
Project Documentation (README): To make the project more accessible and understandable for other developers, a detailed README.md file was created.
It includes a project description, a full list of features, and instructions on how to use and customize the terminal.
Internationalization: The README.md file was then translated from Russian to English, making the project's documentation available to a wider audience.
With these changes, the project is not only more visually impressive but also properly documented and ready for sharing.

Initial project setup and core feature implementation for the Interactive Retro Terminal.
Foundation: Created the basic index.html, style.css, and script.js files. The initial version includes a functional terminal with a command input line.
Core Logic: Implemented the main JavaScript logic to handle user input. This includes parsing commands, displaying output with a typing animation, and managing a command history accessible with the up and down arrow keys. Basic commands like help, about, skills, and contact are now functional.
Aesthetic Enhancements: To make the project круче (cooler), I added a simulated system boot-up sequence that runs on page load. This was followed by an ASCII art logo to establish a strong retro, hacker vibe before the user can interact with the terminal.
Personalization: Updated the contact command to include the user's Discord (zeni_iii).
The total session focused on building a fully interactive and visually engaging web application from scratch, moving beyond a simple page to a feature-rich, themed experience.

Interactive Retro Terminal

An interactive, retro-style terminal built with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. This project simulates a hacker's command-line interface, complete with a boot-up sequence, ASCII art, and dynamic "typing" animations. It's designed as a unique and creative way to present a portfolio or personal information. Key features include handling commands (help, about, skills, contact), command history (up/down arrows), and a customizable boot sequence.
