Beachball

Ever written a script and wanted a nice progress indicator, similar to the famous spinning beach ball of death? If so, you've come to the right place.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'beachball'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install beachball

Using Beachball is even simpler than filling up your hard drive with useless crap and then complaining about your technical incompetence to a nerdy friend.

beachball = Beachball.new(10)
beachball.start

# intensive things!

beachball.stop

Bug reports and pull requests are somewhat welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/fomentia/beachball.

The gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License. If you don't respect the license and cargo cult without giving me credit, I probably won't do anything even if I am aware of it (which is highly unlikely). I mean, it took me maybe 20 minutes to write, so stealing isn't that big of a deal. Still though, be nice and do the right thing. If you want to. I don't want to force my subjective opinions down anyone's throat, so if stealing is totally fine in your belief system, who am I to say no? Right? Tolerance for the win.

Haha, just kidding. If you steal my code I will come to kill you.
