How would I make a progress bar?

So after 3 days I've managed to work out how to access data from a tank! But now I want to make a progress bar. How would I make a coloured bar?


I mean have a solid bar not a character

If you want a solid bar, you do the following:

term.setBackgroundColor(colors.yellow)
term.write(" ")

If you run this code, this will draw a yellow spot without character.

As for the progress bar you can use percentages. Pseudo code:

local percentage = currentTankLevel / maxTankLevel -- precentage >= 0 and percentage <= 1 (percentage is greater or equals to zero or percentage is less than or equal to 1

Then you need a distance, which is the progress bar.

local squaresToDraw = maxBoxe * percentage

This should get you going, you can always ask for more help :)/>

Thanks I've got the percentages all worked out
