AnimatedTextConsole by JAMGALACTIC
AnimatedTextConsole is a simple .NET Console Application that allows you to display animated, typewriter-style text in the Windows CMD.
The purpose of this app was to assist with the creation of the text animations with the intent of being recorded by screen-recording software like OBS Studio. My personal reason for writing this program was for creating android boot animations with a terminal style text animation.
To use the program
Run AnimatedTextConsole from the command line. The only required argument is the -txt argument which specifies a text file to read lines of text from. Several other optional arguments can be used.
Example: c:\program directory> AnimatedTextConsole -txt "c:\linesoftext.txt"
