Text Effects, typewriter, glow

[bplus]

Code works for me but the typewriter types awfully fast. Pete's got that effect nailed pretty well.

"Glowletters" is nice effect, do you notice a lot of YouTube videos use random garbage to muck up the picture and make the video look like old old fashioned film. I suspect some sort of random animation maintains attention of the viewer like in your glowletters.

You might consider a sub that will do this:
            A1$(1) = "                            "
            A1$(2) = "                            "
            A1$(3) = "                            "
            A1$(4) = "    QBasic is more alive    "
            A1$(5) = "    than ever with QB64!    "
            A1$(6) = "                            "
            A1$(7) = "                            "
            A1$(8) = "                            "

Given an x,y location for top left corner, then width, height then text to center in that box on screen.
Colors optional...

sub CenterText(x, y, width, height, Text$)

@2112 if you intend to post things like this on a regular basis, you can ask Steve, SMcNeill, to arrange a place in Prolific Programmers for your own work and Moderation. A pretty darn cool feature of this forum! It might be fun to watch your code evolve over the years. I don't usually mention this to newbies but I suspect you have been smitten by the QB64 bug and have years of coding fun ahead of you. +1 BTW my vote of condidence
