Linux Text Slowdown- HELP PLEASE
-
How can I slow down text with a 2-second timing in between letters? The following will not work: #include main() { /* And yes, sleep(2); actually takes up two whole seconds for some reason */ printf("\n\nH"); sleep(2); printf("e"); sleep(2); printf("y\n\n"); sleep(2); return 0; } /* For some reason this code FIRST executes the "sleep();" functions first. It then gives the output "Hey" all in one shot four seconds later. I am using Ubuntu if that helps, but I guess everyone else is using Windows because it seems to work on their computers. */
char* pchText = "Ghost types"; while(*pchText!='\0') { cout<<*pchText++; Sleep(2000); } return 0; tell me what this do in you machine. I'm waiting.

Hey VuNic could you tell me why this is conflicting code and give me an alternative? :rolleyes:

Try calling fflush before each sleep call; this way, the text in stdout's buffer gets pushed to the console immediately:
printf("\n\nH");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2);printf("e");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2);printf("y\n\n");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2); -

std::string str = "A Good Spirit Types";
std::string::iterator it;
for ( it=str.begin() ; it < str.end(); it++ )
{
std::cout <<*it;
Sleep(2000);
}This one's okay?

much much better :rolleyes: it would be even better if you wouldn't put that horrible

[My articles]Yeah even I like the first one. But Tox the tiger commands things and I end up changing to what he asks :D Tox Rox! And yes I just noticed in a Linux site, Linux sleeps a bit different with C++ there. lol ;) . gudnite!

I agree, that's not bad code at all. Just code. Newbies should masters such
C-like constructs in order to masterC++. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

That's not bad coding at all.
