#DUNKY DONEY YY Y Y Y Y

'''
This will make a lil animation where a piece of 
text will animate one axis of a variable font
"across" a piece of text
'''

# parameters to change

# function for offset angle
'''
this function just takes a value from 0 - 1 that we 
assume we will use for rotation and then apply it to
a new range
