A matrix would let you do this: [https://youtu.be/GWxssA3JNBc](https://youtu.be/GWxssA3JNBc)

The scrolling and warping are of course totally excessive. It can do static text too. 😃

The code is at: [Yet another approach to text rendering (WIP) - #19 by sorceror](https://forum.electromage.com/t/yet-another-approach-to-text-rendering-wip/1897/19)  
I’m pretty sure it will work on a matrix of any size.

Like most of my hacks I just drop it on the floor once I’ve achieved my goal. I would be super happy to see someone make use of it in a project and I would be more than happy to help you!

Reading that post, maybe it’s time for me to visit the new pattern library to properly share the pile of hacks on my floor.
