c# - How to make text be "typed out" in console application?

Question

Just like the way the computer does it in War Games. I've started, but I don't know where to go from here.

static void TypeLine(string line)
{
    string output = null;
    char[] characters = line.ToCharArray();
    for (int i = 0; i < characters.Length; i++)
    {
        output += characters[i];
        Console.Clear();
    }
    Console.WriteLine(output);
}

My idea was to split the string you wanted it to output, add a character, clear the console, add another, and so on. I got that far, but I don't really know how to make it add, then clear, then add again. Some tips would be nice, or even completed code if you feel like it.

The easiest way may be to Sleep() between characters. Something like this:

static void TypeLine(string line) {
    for (int i = 0; i < line.Length; i++) {
        Console.Write(line[i]);
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150); // Sleep for 150 milliseconds
    }
}
