The most basic effect seen in all demos. A scrolling text.

As seen in the second workshop, a scrolltext is not simply throwing a marquee tag onto the screen. You have to do all yourself. At the end of the workshop we will have our own text crawling across the screen.

• Design of the demo: select a font, chose colors
• Include font and map letters
• important decision: overscan or not?
• Copy some letters to screen
• Several ways to do it: slow using less memory, fast using a lot of ram
• write text and display

• optionally add another effect seen in previous workshops
