Software Request: Scrolling Message App!

[tbhausen]

Can/has anyone done this? Simple concept... type the message in, it scrolls "scoreboard-style" across the display. Could be simple black-on-white or white-on-black, or have color options. Could have font, scroll speed, looping, etc. choices, too.

Would be fun to have in a crowd, noisy place...

never seen anything like it for the Q... not sure if it is or is not possible, i do know i wouldn't want it, i like static simplistic screens :}

[tbhausen]

What I have in mind is letters as big and readable as possible scrolling across at a comfortable reading rate... so if you want to tell the jackass who just cut you off to go you-know-what himself at the next red light you can ;) OK not a good idea...

Brings to mind another possible option... "Read in Rearview Mirror" mode where everything's reversed (like the nose of an ambulance). Guess I am asking for trouble hehe.

EDIT: Let's have a mode to flash alternate red and blue, too... "stupid Q auto tricks"

EDIT AGAIN: Obvious feature: save canned phrases

Like a Marquee? I did a few Google searches and found nothing. Looks like someone's gonna have to write it. Probably nothing too complicated, just base it off the Windows Marquess screensaver.

Hey,


Just make a webpage using the marquee tag, and go there via PIE on your Q. You could setup links for different phrases and all that jazz.

a marquee from html might not work on the Q... if it does, yea that sounds like a plan :}

[KillerQ]

Well,

There's only one way to find out -- if you are on your Q, click here: MARQUEE SCROLL.

Let us know,

Matt!
