"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
I'm currently making a puzzle game, something like
Jelly no Puzzle Ver.1.000 and Puzzlebot Challenge.
Amazing games, for me at least.
I hope to finish it in a month.
Have a nice time and be well...
