Hi! So I’m learning about Phaser in my class at school. Currently, we’re building a game arround the tutorial game for a project and I came across a text that I can add to my title screen. But I’m not sure where I should put it and if it works for phaser 3. My teacher said that it might not work cause we’re using phaser 3 instead of phaser 2. Here is the link to the animated text: [https://phaser.io/examples/v2/text/kern-of-duty](https://phaser.io/examples/v2/text/kern-of-duty)

I already made a menu.js, game.js with other different scenes and etc. But where, in the menu.js, should I place the text? This is the menu.js file: [https://gyazo.com/65a66ee3583ef49449fa7e86bbb0e790](https://gyazo.com/65a66ee3583ef49449fa7e86bbb0e790)

Maybe this can help you:

Something like that can work, but Phaser 3’s Time API is a little different. See [time/timer event](https://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src/time/timer%20event.js) or [time/repeat count](https://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src/time/repeat%20count.js).
