Make a message float up the screen from random places in Python -- amuse children!

floating_message.py

from time import sleep
from random import randint
import os

MESSAGE: str = "The helicoprion"
COLS: int
ROWS: int
COLS, ROWS = os.get_terminal_size()
SPARSENESS: int = 12
SPEED: float = 0.1  # Smaller is faster

if __name__ == "__main__":
    for i in range(ROWS):
        print()  # Clear the screen
    while True:
        print(randint(1, COLS - len(MESSAGE) - 1) * " ", MESSAGE)
        for i in range(randint(1, SPARSENESS)):
            print()
            sleep(SPEED)
