+[font=earth_illusion][bounce=0][rainbow=3=100]Hello! Welcome [rainbow=10=-30]to [rainbow=20]the [rainbow=1]library![/rainbow][/bounce][/font]
 
 This library will work with any font object that love can produce, and at any scale. So even if you don't use pixel art, this library will work for you!
 
 Note, in order to apply all the effects and animate everything each character is a draw call. So if you have a lot of text, like a visual novel, it might be overkill.
