Thread: Making a text based progress bar

I found a BCX code about making a text based progress bar:
http://d-apps.com/files/coding/bcx/cprog.zip

I tried to rewrite the code in C, and this is the result:

Code:

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

void gotoxy(int,int);

int main(){
	int iPercent = 10000000;
	int rCounter;
	int iTmpMth1 = 0;
	int iPrevCnt = 0;
	CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO sbi;
	HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
	GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hConsole, &sbi);
	
	for (rCounter = 0; rCounter < iPercent; rCounter++){
		iTmpMth1 = 8 + (rCounter / iPercent) * 54;
		if (iPrevCnt != iTmpMth1) {
			gotoxy(sbi.dwCursorPosition.Y + 3, iTmpMth1);
			printf("#");
			iPrevCnt = iTmpMth1;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

void gotoxy(int x, int y){
	COORD point;
	point.X = x;
	point.Y = y;
	SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), point);
}

Well, no animation there. I can't figure out what's wrong...

So rCounter / iPercent will always and forever equal 0; consequently iTmpMth1 will always be 8. Maybe you should make iPercent a floating-point variable.
