    Talking New dude needs simple help :P

    Hey I just started to learn C++.

    Just to learn and make my first program, I want to make a "virus" thats
    says like "Deleting your system files..." and then the prosent stands under to mess with my friend.

    I've made it but I just have one problem.
    Theres no delay between the prosents...
    It says "Deleteing your system files.... 100%" right after you started the program.

    And I want the new prosent to replace the old one.
    Now it says "1% 2% 3% 4%" etc.
    I want it to only be one number to say the prosent, not 100.

    Heres the part that I've been talking about:
    Code:
    int num1 = 0;
    
    while(num1 < 101) {
      cout<< num1 << "%";
      num1++;
    }
    And when I've already made a thread, how to I make other "backgrounds" instead of the boring black DOS window?

    Thanks a lot

    your an idiot, thats not what this board is about if you want to learn then learn, dont use your knowledge to scare friends
    If a mime dies in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Code:
    	int num1 = 0;
    
    while(num1 < 101) {
    
    	for (int count = 0; count < 100000000; count++);//simple but dirty method for delaying things.
    
      cout<< num1 << "%";
      num1++;
    }

    Ehh... I dont get what you mean.
    I readed thru many tutorials and searched for it but didnt find anything.
    Lol, I think my friends can take a joke.
    People understand that their system files doesnt get deleted like that.


    Thanks, Enahs =)
    But if thats a "dirty" way to do it is there a better way then?

    Messing with your friend like that is only one step away from actually making a virus. Your programming should never be destructive.

    Use a sleep function rather than an loop. You should be able to figure it out from there.

    Dude, im 13 years old.
    If you were 13 years old and you friend sendt you a "cool game" and it was a "virus".
    Would you really care that much?
    I would never make a virus and I got no idea on how to do it anyway.
    Pointless or not, just tell me what to do?
    Please?
    Thanks...

    Well funnily enough, yes!

    If you want to waste your time creating such rubbish, then the least you can do is figure it out yourself.
