This exercise is a simple code that randomises the size of the text shown on the screen using the text(), random() and int functions. It gives the text a more chaotic look. For this exercise, I didn’t make a lot of modifications. I simply changed the text to the word “OVERWHELMED”. This was because I was testing out codes that I could include in my final code to represent one emotion during COVID-19. I also played around with the colour and the range of sizing that the text can be. I also tried adding fonts. The image above shows a minimal result.
