Here is another Tk version, :-) Mine differs in style from BrowserUk's. He made a bunch of pie segments to manipulate. I used a technique of layering an arc over a background circle, and changing their extent and color. There are many ways to do it!

UPDATE: added 'cleanup' tags to improve performance, and fixed the bell repitition problem.

my $mw = tkinit;

$mw->fontCreate('big',
   -family=>'arial',
   -weight=>'bold',
   -size=>int(-18*18/14));

my $running = 0;
my $canvas = $mw->Canvas(-width => 600, -height => 600,
                         -bg =>'black')->pack();

my $start_message = $canvas->createText(300,30,
               -text   => 'Press SpaceBar to Start',
               -fill   => 'hotpink',
           -anchor => 'center',
               -font   => 'big');

$mw->bind('<space>', \&start );
