Art, I have a suggestion.

Although the jumping text is aesthetically pleasing and a challenge logic-wise, it it difficult to read. Have you tried jumping the entire character together? It might be easier to read bouncing characters, maybe even bounce complete words?

Yes, it does all three.. just don’t know if I caught it all in the video.
Fast, slow, slow bouncing, slow sine.
All artefact of the original text message scroller.
With the games removed there are 3 buttons/switches spare when not in time set mode,
so it’s not difficult to select scroll styles as modes. I have already used one for speed.

Lol.. I already gave that one thought when watching the video
Not yet done that, but I agree.
There’s only room for 3.5 digits if they are static but still doable.

H:00, M:00, S:00, C:00, D:00, etc. should fit.
