Why use Animated Text?
The Animated Text extension is developed by Scratch team in Scratch Lab. We introduce it to Gandi IDE.
You can use it as a text engine to bring words to life with colors, fonts, and animations.
Functions and Definitions

When a sprite runs this block, it will hide and the text will show on the stage.

The width of the text is not the length of a string. It is the width of the text on the stage.
There is an invisible text-box on the stage. If you change the size of the sprite, the size of characters will be changed but the size of the text-box will not be changed.
For example, the width of text has been set to 200. Show ‘Welcome to my project!’ on the stage.
