When I just started turing ma teacher showed me this program and there was this progress bar in it. I had no clue how to do it.. so i devoted a lot of my time to figuring it out and i finally did..Very Happy Laughing
code:

%Grispy
%December 9 03
%Simple Progress Bar
colorback (black)
color (white)
cls

for i : 0 .. 300
    drawbox (170 + i, 40, 170, 20, white)%Play around wit da numbers
    delay (20)
    locate (22, 40)
    put i div 3, "%"
end for

heh, I used to use that all the time..except I made it slightly more colorful:
code:

Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 255)
colorback (255)
color (10)
var zz : int := 1
for i : 1 .. 100
    delay (50)
    Draw.FillBox (100, 15, 100 + zz, 25, 54)
    Draw.Box (100, 15, 200, 25, 1)
    zz := zz + 1
    locate (23, 13)
    put "Loading... ", zz, "%" ..
end for
locate (23, 13)
put "Done Loading!   " ..

hey.. if people enjoy it.. you can't stop them Razz.... besides.. it makes your program have more "source" code.... by the loading time

haha Laughing more source code? If you want extra lines in the file, why not just copy/paste a bunch of random functions you not gonna use? Laughing

better yet write your programs in machine code , im talkin like a 100 line program = 10000 lines in machine , could you imagine what it would be liek to code in taht language way back when

actually, just declare 200 lines worth of pictures, and you are all set. Wink It will be even better if you declare individual letter of a certain font saved as pics...52 pics per font, oh wait, assuming we don't know how to scale pics either, we can always make a bunch that are bigger or smaller in size...

<n00b Translation>
progress bars are used to tell the user that "no, your computer is not frozen I'm just loading a whole bunch of pictures"
Moral of the Day:
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. If your program looks like it has crashed the computer when you run it, hey use a progress bar.

2. If your program runs at about the same time you hit F1, don't use a progress bar.

Wow Mr M. your rackin in the bits ther , you better save those for a rainy day. and about the progress bad i belive in what Mr.M says but i have no love for them , i made a real one buit mostr of the time unless your doing somthign else it just goes from 0 to 100 really fast , only a trace shows it , i also have one while my telnet verifies the stability of the connection. it even goes back to zero sometime for some reason i think its if well im sure its when athe loop is runa second time if the first fails.

Dan Shadow, can I use your progress bar in my program?

well the idea is that you can use anything from the [Source Code] as long as you give appropriate credit someplace in your program.

btw - you can use my percent bar Wink found here
