    // CODE HERE
	
	// ZIM Label() lets you make text on the canvas 
	// ZIM LabelLetters() breaks up each letter into an individual object that can be controlled
	// We use LabelLetters to individually animate the letters
	
	// Here is the docs entry on the label property - recently we added HTML-like properties:
	
	// label - (default "Label Letters") a String or a ZIM Label
	// can set any label properties such as color, size, font, etc. on the label passed in
	// can pass in a string with basic "old fashioned" HTML tags as follows:
	// <b>bold</b> - or <strong>bold</strong>
	// <i>italic</i> - or <em>italic</em>
	// <u>underline</i> - can use this with <a> to make a classic underlined link
	// <a href=url target=_blank>link</a>
	// <font color=zimColor backgroundColor='htmlColor' rollBackgroundColor=#hexColor size=20 family=verdana group=groupStyle>font</font>
	// note: use NO QUOTES except for single quote with colors if want HTML blue for instance rather than ZIM blue
	
	// there are also all the parameters of Label (that can also be set with STYLE):
	// text, size, font, color, rollColor, shadowColor, shadowBlur, align, valign, bold, italic, variant, lineWidth, lineHeight, backing, 
	// outlineColor, outlineWidth, backgroundColor, backgroundBorderColor, backgroundBorderWidth, corner, backgroundDashed, 
	// padding, paddingHorizontal, paddingVertical, shiftHorizontal, shiftVertical, rollPersist, labelWidth, labelHeight, maxSize, style, group, inherit
	
	// and all the parameters of LabelLetters:
	// label, align, valign, letterSpacing, letterSpacings, lineSpacing, lineSpacings, lineHeight, lineAlign, lineValign, cache, rtl, style, group, inherit
	
	// WE KNOW <b> and <font> ARE DEPRICATED, etc. 
	// but here it made sense for ZIM to use to target certain letters in the LabelLetters
	// this is NOT HTML - we are using a subset of HTML tag format to parse letters for the canvas 
	// the normal ZIM Label() can use ZIM STYLE to set the styles for a regular canvas text
	const text = `CREATIVE CODING
