Thread: LoadingBar (Animated Graphics C)

Hello,

Here im sharing my code for loading bar. Well working and easy to explain code, using loops to make it animated.
See once..........

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<graphics.h>
#include<dos.h>
void main(void)
{clrscr();
///program to loading bar By Shansajid/////
     int gd=DETECT,gm, a,color,overlap=1;
     initgraph(&gd, &gm, "C:\\tc\\bgi");

    setcolor(RED);

    rectangle(90,385,510,405);
    setcolor(WHITE);
    for(a=100; a<=500; a++)
    {
    rectangle(130,402,a,388);
    delay(15);
        if(overlap=1)
        {
             setcolor(BLUE);
             settextstyle(2,HORIZ_DIR,5);
             outtextxy(210,387,"Loading Please wait...");
             overlap=0;
             setcolor(WHITE);
        }
    }

    getch();
     closegraph();



}

Well working and easy to explain code

ROFLMAO. Clueless Turbo C developer FTL.

I like the enthusiasm, but there's no relationship between what you're seeing on the progress bar, and what is being completed. A tool needs work, or it's a paperweight rusting away somewhere, and this tool is not connected to any work - just a reasonable guess on the progress that might be expected, in a given amount of time.

But I like the enthusiasm! Nurture and persist with that, and you don't know how big your future in programming, might be.

And this?

It seems to me that the assignment in the if statement makes sure all this code happens every time.

Run program before removing overlap variable and its all uses, you will see the overlapping text inside the progress bar "loading please wait" will be hidden behind the color of progress bar.
overlap variable is only a solution of this problem.

I don't think you quite understood the comment.
