This Challenge was proposed for the now defunct C/C++ programming list CWORLD in 1999.The source code of the challenge has been updated to modern C++, but maintaining the essence of the challenge, which its original author wanted to transmit.

It’s just a simple visual effect in text mode, which involves several words scrolling simultaneously on the screen, to eventually form the sentence: “The C++ language Is The Best”.
To illustrate this, I’m attaching an executable file of the finished program:
What is sought is the coding of this effect, which can be in C++ or in your favorite language and of course it must always be displayed in console mode, similar to the example attached above.
Perhaps the most interesting thing in this challenge is that the source code must be as small and optimized as possible and according to this I will evaluate the winner.
If you are using C++, you are allowed to use the WinBGIDLL library (conio.h) to run the challenge code.
AND FINALLY I CAN ONLY SAY …. BEST OF LUCK AND MAY THE BEST CODE WIN….
