spin

Simple UTF-8 console spinners for C.

usage

Drop spin.h into your project directory.

#include "spin.h"
int func() {
    spinner *s = spin_new(utf8_pat1, "Working...", UTF8_CHAR_WIDTH);
    while(working) {
        // ... do work ...
        spin_drw(s);
        if(progress == .5)
            spin_upd_msg(s, "Half way through...") // update the message
    }
    spin_del(s);
    return 0;
}

expanding

It's possible to add new spinner patterns, but for now, they have to be UTF8 (since there are hard coded 3 byte jumps in the code).
