Replace text on same line

[rozick1]

I've made a countdown timer and it works fine. At the moment it displays the time till 0 on a new line (4...3..2...1....) but I want it to just have one time on one line which keeps changing.

Is this possible?

Yes, but not without a large amount of effort. You'll need to use the curses library.

you can simply use carriage return without a line feed then try to overwrite your previous count
