well i made that already, but your method is easier and less laggy! You're awesome!

Griffpatch never fails to make successful scratch projects somehow. Keep it that way!

I love how you incorporated comment feedback, you honestly are very inspiring to me on my adventure of makeshift game dev as a university student. Crazy that I've known about your scratch profile since I was still in middle school.

This variant is much easier than mine and it has better quality than my project, well done!!, love every project from you!!

The fact that this guy made a tutorial that everyone knows how to do, but does it 100x better.

This is awesome! Can’t wait for some fancy text bubbles

This is really cool, but I have a suggestion. Add a speed option to control how fast the text goes. That way, you can make really slow or instant text without having to turn on and off screen refresh!
