╘O EMPHASIZE AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU CAN MAKE IT GLOW THROUGH THE AVAILABLE COLORS. ╫HEN PRINTED FAST ENOUGH THE EFFECT IS ALMOST TRANSPARENT. ╬OW YOU CAN PRINT "├┴╘╙ ╬╧╘ ┴╠╠╧╫┼─ ╧╬ ╘╚┼ ╦┼┘┬╧┴╥─" AND CHANCES ARE IT WILL BE NOTICED AND UNDERSTOOD.
// PRG: COLOR STRING //
╘HE PROGRAM IS IN TWO SECTION. ╘HE FIRST FLASHES THE ENTIRE MESSAGE IN ONE COLOR, SWITCHING BETWEEN THE AVAILABLE COLORS. ╘HE SECOND SECTION PRINTS EACH LETTER IN A DIFFERENT COLOR AND ROTATES THROUGH THE COLORS CONTINUOUSLY.

╘YPE IN LINES 110-170. ╠INE 120 NEEDS THE CLEAR-SCREEN CHARACTER IN QUOTES. ╠INE 150 HAS TWO GRAPHICS; THE FIRST ONE IS ╚╧═┼ IN QUOTES, THE SECOND ONE IS ╥╓╙ IN QUOTES. ╥╒╬ IT, PRESS ANY KEY TO ╙╘╧╨.
*** ─┼╘┴╔╠╙ ***
╫E LOOP ROUND AND ROUND BETWEEN THE ╞╧╥ AND THE ╬┼╪╘ ╩. ╫E PRINT IN LINE 150 BY TAKING A PIECE OF THE COLOR STRING - ╩-TH PIECE TO BE SPECIFIC (IT IS RELATED TO THAT ╩ IN LINE 140) AND FOLLOWING IT WITH OUR ═$ IN REVERSE. ╫E SLOW THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT BY AN ADDITIONAL LOOP (THE ╦-LOOP IN LINE 160) WHICH DOES NOTHING OTHER THAN COUNT TO 30. ╫E THEN CHECK IF YOU PRESSED ANY KEY, AND IF NOT WE GO RIGHT BACK TO THE BEGINNING WHICH IS THE ╞╧╥ IN LINE 140. ┴ND THE COMPUTER NEVER EVEN SAYS "OH, NO, NOT AGAIN!". ╬ICE.
╔F YOU DID PRESS A KEY, WE DROP DOWN TO LINE 180 TO BEGIN ANOTHER SET OF DISPLAYS. ╫E HAVEN'T TYPED LINE 180 YET, SO THE PROGRAM STOPS HERE.
*** ╨╥╧╩┼├╘ ***
╔NSTEAD OF THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, PRINT THE MESSAGE IN SOME OTHER LOCATION, PERHAPS CENTERED NICELY.

╘YPE IN FROM LINE 180 TO THE END. ╠INE 190 NEEDS A ╚╧═┼ IN QUOTES, LINE 210 NEEDS ╥╓╙. ╥╒╬ IT, STOP USING ANY KEY.
*** ─┼╘┴╔╠╙ ***
╫E USE THE SAME INFORMATION AS WAS USED IN THE FIRST PART, SO WE NEED TO ╥╒╬ FROM THE BEGINNING. ╥╒╬ AND PUSH A KEY. ╘HIS WILL SEND US DOWN TO THE SECOND SECTION.
╫E NOW PRINT EACH LETTER OF THE MESSAGE IN REVERSE AND IN DIFFERENT COLOR, SEE LINE 210. ╘HIS CONTINUES UNTIL ANY KEY IS PRESSED. ╘HE COLORS ARE TAKEN ONE AT A TIME FROM THE ├╙$ STRING IN LINE 110. ╫E WALK THROUGH THEM REPEATEDLY: WHEN WE RUN OUT OF COLORS, WE GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING (LINE 190).
*** ╨╥╧╩┼├╘╙ ***
╙OME SIMPLE MODIFICATIONS YOU CAN MAKE: CHANGE THE DELAY TIME IN LINE 160 TO ANOTHER NUMBER. ─ELETE THE REVERSE FIELD (I.E. PRINT IN UNREVERSED MODE), CHANGE THE ORDER OF COLORS IN THE ├╙$.
┴ BIT MORE DIFFICULT, BUT AN INTERESTING THING TO DO IS TO CHANGE THE MESSAGE, BY MAKING IT THE SAME LENGTH AS THE ├$ UP TOP. ╫HAT HAPPENS? ├AN YOU EXPLAIN WHY? ├AN YOU DO A CONVERSE PROCESS? ├HANGE THE ├$ STRING. ╫HAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ├$ STRING IS SHORTER THAN 15 CHARACTERS? ├AN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? ├AN YOU DESIGN A TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE LENGTHS OF THE TWO STRINGS?
