Project Overview

CyberMatrix was created as a personal exploration into gamified web experiences, simulating a terminal environment where users could interact with a fictional hacking system.

The goal was to make a fun, engaging interface that allowed users to experience "hacking the mainframe" through simple, playful commands and animations.

Our Approach

We approached CyberMatrix with a focus on immersion and playful interactivity:

01

Concept & Design

We brainstormed ways to make the experience look and feel like a real terminal without overwhelming users, settling on a dark theme, neon highlights, and typewriter-style animations.

02

Interactive Coding

We implemented JavaScript-based fake terminal commands where users could "hack" the system by running a simulated function directly from the browser.

03

Visual Enhancements

We created a "Network Visualization" animation at the bottom of the page to make the site feel dynamic and alive, enhancing the hacking simulation.

Design System

A sleek, cyberpunk-inspired design system was created to deliver a sense of mystery, excitement, and fun.
