Command Line with Blinking Cursor Animation Effect in PowerPoint | Green and Black Computer Console

Need something to jazz up your next PowerPoint presentation, with a slightly geeky or nerdy twist? Or do you want to show that an AI robot has taken over your deck? This command line animation is just the thing!

In a hands-on tutorial, I’ll show you how easy it is to add text, update the font and color, and then apply a few animations to make a very convincing old-school computer look, completing with a blinking cursor.

that's fine but can you make the cursor blinking while writting a text ? :)

The 'delay between letter' doesn't seem to be there any more?

The cursor would need to blink while text is being written for this effect to be realistic
