Simple HC text animation - alok9shm - 06-29-2014

I was getting bored, so coded this extremely simple Animation in C.
The output:
[Image: ani.gif]

Compiler used: Turbo C++ [Yes, I still use this good old compiler apart from GCC]

The Source Code:

Code:
#include<graphics.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int i, gd = DETECT, gm;

   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\turboc3\\bgi"); //path to your bgi folder in double quotes

   settextstyle(DEFAULT_FONT,HORIZ_DIR,2);
   outtextxy(25,240,"Press any key to start rolling HC");

   getch();
   setviewport(0,0,639,440,1);

   for( i = 0 ; i <= 420 ; i = i + 10 )
   {

      rectangle(40+i,250,70+i,400); //the 1st vertical line in H (|)
      rectangle(140+i,330,70+i,300); //the horizontal line in middle of H (-)
      rectangle(140+i,250,170+i,400); the last vertical line in H (|)

     ellipse(280+i,320,60,300,90,80); //for the outer part of C
     ellipse(280+i,320,60,300,70,60); //inner part of C

      setcolor(RED);
      delay(100);

      if( i == 420 )
	 break;

      clearviewport();
   }

   getch();
   closegraph();
   return 0;
}

Why getch()? Also:

Code:
i = i + 10

Code:
i += 10

Cool simple little animation though..

To hold the screen even after the execution is complete. It accepts a keyboard input and then terminates the console window. Its really a headache for me in TC, if I don't use a getch() before the end of main(). Every time, I run the code, the console window does its job and disappears automatically. If its a small program, it will execute and terminate at the blink of an eye, without showing me the output. So, I use getch() while using TC.

Its like Hey Output window, do not disappear unless I order you to do so. Tongue

I did not mention getch() because I didn't know what it did... I mentioned it because it's not standard. There are alternatives that are, however.

I know

The reputation says all. So, how do I overcome this? Any suggestions? and how do I complete the C? you can see that C is not bounded like H. I tried using another 2 lines but that would make it messy. Any simpleway out?
