SpicyText

A simple text effect library for Processing.

Use the built-in [COLOUR=...], [BACKGROUND=...] and [EFFECT=...] tags to quickly style and animate your text. Stacking tags lets you get truly creative, and if that's not enough you can also supply your own CUSTOM effects!

This is an open source library, so check out the code on GitHub at https://github.com/BarneyWhiteman/SpicyText if you're interested!

example sketch output The above image is the SpicyText output for the following:

"This is some [COLOUR=#FFFF0000][EFFECT=WAVE]SPICY[END_EFFECT][END_COLOUR] [BACKGROUND=255]text![END_BACKGROUND]"
