Now the intro screen is also finished, showing a nice ASCII logo with some fade in/out effects. For the logo I wanted to add also some ASCII transformation effects, but the problem was the performance. Something has changed on Android 4.x, and the TextView can’t handle refreshing itself with approx. 5000 characters per frame at a decent speed. I tested the same effect on a 2.x device, and all is working just perfect. So the effect is unhappily left out.
