What I want: Any type of effects on string/text like flickering, breathing, warm, cold, ambient, steady, blinking, color fade, rainbow cycle, twinkle effect, chasing effect, candle flicker, meteor shower, pulse effect, fire effect, color chase, police lights, etc. Not all - some. I can achieve any if I get the idea as how they work or what I have to do in order to achieve the desired results.
Links as to what they look like (Not mine; Not promoting anything; I chose them as they are short and compiled)
What I succeeded in achieving: Flickering and Breathing.
(Edit: Removed unnecessary code. Added missing effects.) (Edit 2 and a few more: Added some more effects.)
