Text Effects

I have been playing some Balatro lately, a game made in Love2D, and I was wondering how you would edit the size, rotation, or position of individual characters when printing text. Here is an example:

If anyone could help me, that would be amazing!

break the characters into a table and iterate over the ipairs

something like this (off the top of my head)

```
local width_of_container

for index, character in ipairs(string) do
love.graphics.setFont(font)
local x = text:getwidth(
love.graphics.translate(x,0)
love.graphics.rotate(...)
done
```

You could always unzip the exe and see how they did it.

It's pretty much as you said it, there's no more to it than that: You draw each character with the size, rotation, and position that you want.
