VistasSimulate 'backspace' in Jquery
I have a simple animation code, looks like a console input.
Originally from: https://codepen.io/atunnecliffe/pen/BaZyLR
I modified the splash screen intro into just a console input in my website:
Code:
<script>
//console
var textarea = $('.term');
var text = 'ping life';
var i = 0;
runner();
function runner() {
textarea.append(text.charAt(i));
i++;
setTimeout(
function () {
runner();
}, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 50);
}
</script>
Now the effect that I want is a bit complex, for me at least, as my knowledge about JQuery is limited. I wanted the code to enter ping life, then backspace completely, repeat infinitely. I looked up on how to simulate backspace in JQuery, using escape sequence of (8), but I am not sure how to use the escape sequence, nor implement the function into the existing recursive function, for it to repeat infinitely.
Any help would be wonderful :)

Like this? Counting like this will give a zigzag like counting pattern. I added buffers for start and end of input, and a fixed timeout for deleting letters.
textarea.text(text.substr(0, i)) selects a substring of your text (treated as an array of letters - selecting everything between index 0 and i)
Easier than appending and deleting letters
var direction = 1;
var i = 0;
var textarea = $('.term');
var text = 'ping life';
// NOTE:
// I added the "@dev:~$ " as css:before elem, easier to write the code
function count() {
i += direction;
direction *= (((i % text.length) == 0) ? -1 : 1);
textarea.text(text.substr(0, i));
clearInterval(time);
// direction is 1 if counting up
if (direction === 1) {
if (i === 0) {
// buffer for start
time = setInterval(count, 1000);
} else {
time = setInterval(count, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 50);
}
} else {
// direction is -1 if counting down
if (i === text.length) {
time = setInterval(count, 1500);
} else {
// buffer for end
time = setInterval(count, 100);
}
}
}
// inital interval
// setTimeout doesn't work well here
var time = setInterval(count, 1000)html,
body {
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;

pre {
padding: 0;

pre::before {
