PICO-8 Text Editor with Effects, #14

Today I started reworking the text effects! Now the wave effect is based on screen position to keep the letters in sync. I also made the waves and colors shift at the same rate so they can loop. I haven’t synced the cursor yet, so it blinks at the end of the loop.
I realized I haven’t thought much about how to save and load the text. I could just copy and paste to the system clipboard, but a text editor which can’t save files is kind of weird. PICO-8 doesn’t seem to have an easy way to read/write files, though, so maybe the idea is to save GIFs.
