Want to be fancy and create an animated banner? This program is going to print a cool animated banner to the Python console. Initially, it is suitable just for showing ‘GeeksForGeeks’. Consider it as a challenge by adding more characters yourself.
IMPORTANT NOTE:- For this to work, you have to open the file in the console, and not through the editor/IDLE.
Python implementation:
import os
import time
#You can change the width of the display according to your wish. WIDTH = 250
# Written below currently is GeeksForGeeks. If you wish to get more # written, you have to add each alphabet manually. message = "geeksforgeeks" .upper()
#The message will get printed here. printedMessage = [ " "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," ", ]
""" What we have done here is a dictionary mapping the letters to their line. These mapped indexes identify itself to each letter in the dictionary and also for each line in the display. """ characters = { " " : [ " " ,
" " ,
" " ,
" " ,
" " ,
" " ,
" " ],
"E" : [ "*****" ,
"* " ,
"* " ,
"*****" ,
"* " ,
"* " ,
"*****" ],
"O" : [ "*****" ,
"* *" ,
"* *" ,
"* *" ,
"* *" ,
"* *" ,
"*****" ],
"K" : [ " * *" ,
" * * " ,
" * * " ,
" ** " ,
" * * " ,
" * * " ,
" * *" ],
"S" : [ " **** " ,
" * " ,
" * " ,
" *** " ,
" * " ,
" * " ,
" **** " ],
"G" : [ " *** " ,
"* * " ,
"* " ,
"* *** " ,
"* * " ,
"* * " ,
" *** " ],
"F" : [ "***** " ,
"* " ,
"* " ,
"**** " ,
"* " ,
"* " ,
"* " ],
"R" : [ " **** " ,
" * * " ,
" * * " ,
" **** " ,
" * * " ,
" * * " ,
" * * " ]
}
for row in range ( 7 ):
for char in message:
printedMessage[row] + = ( str (characters[char][row]) + " " )
offset = WIDTH
while True :
os.system( "cls" )
for row in range ( 7 ):
print ( " " * offset + printedMessage[row][ max ( 0 ,offset * - 1 ):WIDTH - offset])
offset - = 1
if offset < = (( len (message) + 2 ) * 6 ) * - 1 :
offset = WIDTH
#Use this to change the speed of the animation that you wish to keep.
time.sleep( 0.10 )

Output (The original output will be moving from right to left. Basically, it’s an animation.):
