pip install -r requirements.txt

Script Setup

The script typing_terminal.py is already created and ready to use. It contains:

• A Spanish incoming message animation with Ethereum address encoding
• A multi-line Web3 event announcement with color-coded sections
• Smooth transitions and professional layout
• Clean exit handling with Ctrl+C

Usage

Quick Start (Recommended)

1. In your terminal, navigate to the folder containing the project files.
2. Run: ./run.sh
3. The script will automatically set up the virtual environment and run the animation.
4. Press Ctrl+C to exit cleanly (cursor cleared).

Manual Setup

1. In your terminal, navigate to the folder containing typing_terminal.py.
2. Create and activate a virtual environment: python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run: python typing_terminal.py
5. Observe the Spanish incoming message, then the Web3 event announcement with color-coded sections.
6. Press Ctrl+C to exit cleanly (cursor cleared).

Animation Sequence

1. Screen Clear: Clean start with no terminal clutter
2. Incoming Message: 📡 MENSAJE ENTRANTE 📡 appears in bold red
3. Screen Clear: Transition to main content
4. Web3 Event Flyer: Multi-line announcement with color-coded sections:
   • Title: "Impulsa tus Ideas en Web3 🚀🧠" (bold magenta)
   • Ecosystem Features: Grants, Public Goods, Retroactive Funding (cyan)
   • Description: Web3 development incentives (white)
   • Agenda: "🎈 Agenda 🎈" (bold yellow)
   • Session 1: "🤯 ¿Wtf es Blockchain? 🐙💥" (bold green)
   • Session 2: "🦄 Oportunidades de emprendimiento en Lisk 🌴🚀" (bold blue)
   • Session 3: "🎓 Presentando DeFi Builder Bootcamp CeloColombia 🔧🦖" (bold bright yellow)
   • Event Details: Date/time and location (bold white)

Configuration

You can customize the animation by editing these variables at the top of typing_terminal.py:

Option	Description	Default	Type
TYPING_DELAY	Seconds between each character	0.02	float
BLINK_INTERVAL	Seconds between cursor blink toggles	0.2	float
CURSOR_SYMBOL	Character used as the cursor	'█'	string
INCOMING_MESSAGE	Initial message text	"📡 MENSAJE ENTRANTE 📡"	string
CONTENT	Main flyer content array	Web3 event announcement	array

Example Configuration

# --- Configuration (edit these as needed) ---
INCOMING_MESSAGE = "🚨 TRANSMISIÓN URGENTE 🚨"
INCOMING_STYLE = Style(color="bright_red", bold=True, italic=True)
TYPING_DELAY = 0.03      # Slightly slower
BLINK_INTERVAL = 0.3     # Slower blinking
CURSOR_SYMBOL = "|"      # Different cursor symbol

Content Customization

The CONTENT array allows easy line-by-line customization:

CONTENT = [
    {"text": "Your Custom Title", "style": Style(color="blue", bold=True)},
    {"text": "", "style": Style()},  # Empty line
    {"text": "Your content here", "style": Style(color="white")},
    # Add more lines as needed
]

Color Scheme

The animation uses a sophisticated color scheme:

• Incoming Message: Bold red (red, bold=True)
• Title: Bold magenta (magenta, bold=True)
• Ecosystem Features: Cyan (cyan)
• Description: White (white)
• Agenda Header: Bold yellow (yellow, bold=True)
• Session Titles: Green, blue, bright yellow (all bold=True)
• Speaker Names: Bright black (bright_black)
• Event Details: Bold white (white, bold=True)

Troubleshooting

• Import errors: Ensure rich is installed: pip show rich
• Script doesn't run: Verify you're using Python ≥3.7: python --version
• Cursor alignment issues: Adjust terminal font to a monospaced type for best cursor alignment
• Display issues: Some terminals may not support the default cursor symbol (█). Try changing CURSOR_SYMBOL to "|" or "_"
• Color issues: Ensure your terminal supports ANSI color codes
