The SUB uses sprites 43 to 63... your program cannot use these sprites...
... this is designed to place text of differing colors up to the entire width of the screen... it will NOT interfere with either BG 1 or BG 2 cells.... nor will SCROLL command effect this text...
If you edit some unused text characters into graphics, you then may have graphics placed as text... example, redraw "%" text as a sword... then add % in your text line, and % character will now show up as a sword ;)
I made this as i need it for my Cloudy Mountain game...

You dont need to make your text wave, just set the R portion to zero (0) and it will stay still like regular text..
You can also manually adjust the x value, and all the text can be made to move up or down...

If you need to have 2 of these running at the same time, then add a second sub as FLOWTEXT2 and change SPR=43 to SPR=23... however, this means sprites 23-63 will now be unavailable, and only sprites 0-22 can be used for other things...

The second string is then palette string.... "" assumes pal 0
A pal number 0-7 for each x postion is the format... if the remaining pals are #0 you dont have to add the zeros at the end of the text string...

Flowtext2 demos all i have mentioned... :)
Flowtext1 is the simplest example...

If u wanted to, you can adjust the bouncyness of the text.. find
SPRITE SPR,X+(I-1)*8,Y+SIN(A+I/10)*R,C
And adjust I/10
I/1 is extremely bouncy letters
I/100 all letters stay together
You may modify the SUB to add one more variable for this if you want this editable in code...
If you added B variable..
SUB FLOWTEXT(T$,P$,X,Y,R,A,S,B)
Then edited the code...
I/B
You could use the code to change the bouncyness during gameplay ;)
