I have made a rules screen to be displayed pre-tournament
I have about 20 lines of rules. these are enclosed on html markings, I think? as in <li>No Cheating. No Fighting. These will result in AUTOMATIC EXPULSION.</li>
I tried to get them to scroll across the screen from right to left, so i tried putting the <marquee> before and after each line.
This resulted in the first line ambling across the screen . when the text in the message was about 90 percent visible. the other lines started to come onto view, all were slightly behind the previous line but as more lines appeared the faster they all got. Until they were going so fast you would not be able to read them. One other thing is that the faster lines finished ahead of the first line and most were off the screen before the first line got to the left hand side.
I don't even know if this will work, i was just trying it out to see what would happen, But the idea i had was that each line would scroll across the screen in about 5 seconds one by one until all were visible and then would repeat the cycle indefinitely.
So is what I want, possible?
I tried this because i want people to read the rules. If there is just a screen with a list of rules people tend to skip through them . but scrolling text gets people to wait and see what.s going to appear next.
Am i on the right track, if not!
- could i scroll the text upwards?
could i import a microsoft power point slide show into the screen?
Laugh your head off at what you may see as a daft idea
. But any thoughts good or bad would be appreciated.
