Create a Border Panel with a Canvas in the North Area.

Write an infinite while loop. Whithin the loop increase (left-to-right) or decrease (right-to-left) an index. Draw the text at this index, as an X coordinate within the canvas. Reset the index when it reaches the border limit of the screen.

Are you sure that you want the text to move from left-to-right? For Roman script that will mean that the last word will appear first, so your users will have to read backwards.
