Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am a student working on an installation project. The idea is that my classmates can all enter words, only one word is displayed at a time and periodically switches to the next. I'm not sure how to start this or what objects will get me to where I want to be.
Any help is appreciated thank you so much.

At the risk of doing your homework for you, this is a suggestion for you to think about:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

The patch will start automatically when it is loaded or it can be manually reset. The user is prompted to add a word. The list of words is stored and a randomly selected word is then displayed for a random period of up to 10 seconds before the next word is chosen.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to work out how it does it.

(But I will help if you can't work it out!)
