Minor improvements. Smile

code:

module RotatingLoader
export displayLoader

procedure displayLoader (rotations, barLength, delayLength : int)
loop
for a : 1 .. barLength
for b : 1 .. rotations
locate (1, a)
put "\\" ..
Time.Delay (delayLength)
locate (1, a)
put "|" ..
Time.Delay (delayLength)
locate (1, a)
put "/" ..
Time.Delay (delayLength)
locate (1, a)
put "-" ..
Time.Delay (delayLength)
end for
end for
end loop
end displayLoader
end RotatingLoader

RotatingLoader.displayLoader (4, 10, 125);

wtd.. why do u try to make thigns so complicated for no reason>??? this is mainly for begineers to spruce up their progies to make em look cool..

but ur rite.. its a imrovement.. in case u wanted to add to programs without a bunch of code.. u coudl easily turn that into a .tu..

anyways.... wereu talkjing to me shadow....?? cuz... really.. i post cool things i make.. that i think will benefit the begineers..* see my thread about cool ways to clear screen.. <<exactly what i do... well until i am in compsci again..

I made it more "complicated" because it's an improvement. Would you rather copy and paste the original into a document everywhere you want a loader, or...? Smile

code:

RotatingLoader.displayLoader (4, 10, 125);

edit*** next time i think ill post the noob edition.. and a pro edition with turing unit Razz

!! good plan!

And this is why students should be introduced very early on to means of reusing code and properly packaging it up (records, functions, procedures, modules, classes).

Probably the biggest problem I see programmers here having is related to writing spaghetti code and trying to tackle big complicated problems all at once, rather than breaking them down into smaller, simpler problems.

Small, simple problems, have small, simple solutions. Big, messy problems have big messy solutions.

The three virtues of a good programmer are laziness, impatient, and hubris (they want an easy way out, they want it now, and they believe they're good enough to devise one). Nowhere in there does it say they're sloppy.
