Stealing liberaly and recoding a little. This does the same thing (mostly) but without all the different slices. This lets you set the angle that you could like to be removed every frame and the timer length. Moved configuration data to the top and thats about it. Mine is probably worse in some ways or better in others, but in reality i was just playing and thought i would share.

#! perl -slw use strict; use warnings; use Time::HiRes qw[ time ]; use Tk::Canvas; my $inc = 1; #degrees to move each frame my $length = 10; #seconds to take my ($width, $height) = (480,480); my $trip_point = 90; my $code = 'A123BC'; my $repeatTime = ($length * 1000) / (360 / $inc); my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $canvas = $mw->Canvas( -width => $width, -height => $height, -bg => 'black', )->pack; my $start = 359; my $arc = $canvas->createArc( 0, 0, $width, $height, -fill => 'white', -outline => undef, -extent => $start, -start => 90, -tag => 'arc', ); ## Bind action to space bar $mw->bind( '<space>', sub { my $rep; my $tripped = 0; ## Set up the repeating callback with the delay calculated earlier $rep = $mw->repeat( $repeatTime, sub { $start -= $inc; $canvas->itemconfigure('arc', -extent => $start ); if ($start < 0) { $canvas->itemconfigure('arc', -extent => 0); $rep->cancel; printf "\a"; $canvas->createText($width / 2, $height /2, -text => $code, -tag => 'code', -fill => 'red', ); } elsif ($start < $trip_point and !$tripped) { printf "\a"; $tripped = 1; $canvas->itemconfigure('arc', -fill => 'red'); } }); }); $mw->MainLoop;

Update: .... errr cut and pasted the wrong file, sorry bout that.

    Um. Exactly what did you change? :)


    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

      Thats what i get for cut and pasting without having my morning soda!;) all fixed now
