copied!<p>I once had to do something similar for a small little project I was working on for fun.</p> <p>I do not see why you would need to create a thread for each letter to create a transition between two words unless I'm not understanding what you are pretending to do correctly.</p> <p>Check and study the following code, see if its any help:</p> <pre><code>static class Program { static void Main() { TextTranstition transition = new TextTranstition(); transition.TransitionFinished += TransitionTicked; transition.TransitionTicked += TransitionTicked; transition.StartTransition("AmazingWordTransition", "MyNewWordAppearing", 100); Thread.CurrentThread.Join(); Console.ReadKey(); } public static void TransitionTicked(object sender, TranstitionEventArgs e) { Console.Clear(); Console.Write(e.TransitionText); } } public class TranstitionEventArgs : EventArgs { private readonly string transitionText; public string TransitionText { get { return this.transitionText; } } public TranstitionEventArgs(string transitionText) { this.transitionText = transitionText; } } public class TextTranstition { private struct StartInfo { public StartInfo(string initialText, string finalText, int timeStep) { this.initialText = initialText; this.finalText = finalText; this.timeStep = timeStep; } private readonly string initialText; public string InitialText { get { return this.initialText; } } private readonly string finalText; public string FinalText { get { return this.finalText; } } private readonly int timeStep; public int TimeStep { get { return this.timeStep; } } } public EventHandler<TranstitionEventArgs> TransitionFinished; public EventHandler<TranstitionEventArgs> TransitionTicked; public void StartTransition(string initialText, string finalText, int timeStep) { StartInfo startInfo = new StartInfo(initialText, finalText, timeStep); Thread t = new Thread(startTransition); t.Start(startInfo); } private void startTransition(object info) { StartInfo startInfo = (StartInfo)info; string initialText = startInfo.InitialText; string finalText = startInfo.FinalText; if (initialText.Length < finalText.Length) { initialText = initialText.PadRight(finalText.Length); } if (TransitionTicked != null) TransitionTicked(this, new TranstitionEventArgs(initialText)); while ((initialText = transition(initialText, finalText)) != finalText) { Thread.Sleep(startInfo.TimeStep); if (TransitionTicked != null) TransitionTicked(this, new TranstitionEventArgs(initialText)); } if (TransitionFinished != null) TransitionFinished(this, new TranstitionEventArgs(finalText)); } private string transition(string initialText, string finalText) { StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder(finalText.Length); for (int i = 0; i < finalText.Length; i++) { char c = initialText[i]; int charCode = (int)c; if (c != finalText[i]) { if (charCode == 122 || charCode==32) charCode = 65; else if (charCode == 90) charCode = 97; else { charCode += 1; } } b.Append((char)charCode); } return b.ToString(); } } </code></pre>
