hi,

, what i am giving you is all

@xolyon

's, so credit them, not me, but i may as well give it to you any way.


import sys
def scrollTxt(text):
	for char in text:
		sys.stdout.write(char)
		sys.stdout.flush()
		sleep(0.05)

to use it, just replace the normal print("words"), with scrollTxt("words")

Thx

Is input("Words") also the same?

btw you can add your own time parameter to get out text as slowly/quickly as you wan , also if you just want this nor ally , get rid of the for loop and replace char with text

also to this but itself just do


import sys
sys.stdout.write("something")

to use this for the input you may have to change the code around a bit so that it returns instead of prints

or upu can just put the input below :)

In python3 you should do


for c in string:
  print(c, end="")
  time.sleep(0.5)

@CodingCactus

should I import time to make the "sleep(0.05)" function works?

@Dazz

yes, you need to import time. Then do time.sleep(0.05)
Or
From time import sleep
sleep(0.05)
