Bored: Some Batch Splashscreen (with ASCII)

Haha...
I was just little overworked and needed some variety.
So I came up with some kind of "please wait" aka splashscreen Batch.

In the very uncommon case you think you could use this, feel free to do so.

nifty random color gen comes from: https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/lgf3t/how_to_generate_a_random_color_combination_for/

set BG=000... can be deleted. I got little dizzy while testing this useless but funny thing.

works even better with nircmdc on your system (in system32).
than it will center and removes borders, looks more like a splashscreen than real batch.

"have fun?"

Code:

@echo off & cls & mode 90,40 & title %~n0
if exist "%SystemRoot%\System32\nircmdc.exe" (call :NirStuff)

set Rounds=10
set Align=12
set BG=0123456709BCDEF
set BG=000000000000000
set FG=EF012345A79ABCD

for /l %%i in (1 1 %Rounds%) do (
call :Generate
call :Align %Align%
call :PWText
timeout.exe /t 1 >nul
)
exit

:: -------------------------------------------------------------
:NirStuff
nircmdc.exe win -style ititle "%~n0" 0x00400000
nircmdc.exe win -style ititle "%~n0" 0x00040000
nircmdc.exe win +style ititle "%~n0" 0x00040000
nircmdc.exe win center ititle "%~n0"
goto :EOF


:Generate
cls
set /a CNT+=1
set /a Rand=%Random% %% 15
call set RndColor=%%BG:~%Rand%,1%%%%FG:~%Rand%,1%%
color %RndColor%
goto :EOF

:Align
for /l %%c in (1 1 %1) do (echo.)
goto :EOF

:PWText
set /a Result = %CNT%%%2
if %Result% EQU 0 (call :PW0)
if %Result% EQU 1 (call :PW1)
goto :EOF

How it looks like (with nircmdc)
