Faster Way?

**SavesTheDay** · 01-23-2002

hey.

I am curious if there is a more efficient way to produce the effect that i am working with, or if this is the easiest (no it's not complex, i just started learning C this semester);

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main()
{
	int x=219,y=0,Current;
	char Complete[] = "* complete *";

	printf("\n\n\t.now.loading.the.encryption.\n");
	printf("\n\t      [............]");
	printf("\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b");

	
		while (y<12) {
			printf("%c",x);
			if (y%2==0) {
				Sleep(120);      }

			if (y%4==0) {
				Sleep(900);      }
			
			else {
				Sleep(400);      }
			
			y=(y+1);	                         }

		y=0; x=0;
		printf("\n\t       ");

		while (y<13) {
			Current = Complete[x];		
			Sleep(75);
			printf("%c",Current);
			x=(x+1);
			y=(y+1);             }
		
		printf("\n\n\n\n\n");
}

Another - Can anyone explain what C# Programming is?

Final - How do you get Windows to recognize the entire-255 ASCII character set, instead of just the natural 128 or whatever?

Thanks.

Well, if you want the bar to move slowly enough so that the user can see the movement or for a long enough time to complete the action being performed then there's really no need to be efficient. The status bar will be complete when whatever is being done is also complete, so it's dependent on how you use it. I did toy around with it and you may like this effect a bit better

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(void)
{
	int x = 219,y = 0;
	const char *Complete = "* complete *";

	printf("\n\n\tEncryption in progress, please wait\n");
	printf("\n\t          [............]");
	printf("\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b");
	
	while (y < 12) {
		printf("%c", x);
		if (y % 2 == 0)
			Sleep(120);
		else if (y % 4 == 0)
			Sleep(900);
		else
			Sleep(400);
		y = (y + 1);
	}
	y = 0; x = 0;
	printf("\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b");
	printf("%s\n\n", Complete);

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

>Can anyone explain what C# Programming is?
C# is Java with all of the names changed from what I've seen.

>How do you get Windows to recognize the entire-255 ASCII character set
I wasn't aware that Windows didn't recognize the entire set.

Yeah Microsoft can take C# and shove it up their ass for all I care.

brian, just a quick question, have you ever used C#? No? Thought not...then don't badmouth it.

I don't see why we can't spare C# the humiliation... as long as we use something sharp.

Really, there are reasons for wanting Microsoft products to fail in general. Too many patent lawers... it's like the second coming of IBM.

Get a job. It's a fact of life that you can't pirate software anymore. Too bad for you. Good for me!
