Ah, as inspired by Edward ttyfte.

The script is not a proper POSIX bourne shell script, as it uses arrays.

For starters, it won't work in dash (Debian and Ubuntu /bin/sh implementation). So the shebang line should be changed to #!/bin/bash (not sure if it would work in Zsh either).

Fork and fix please!

I hooked this up to my homebrew cohort-analysis script and saw a gratifying terminal hockeystick :D

I'm curious: is there a reason U+2584 LOWER HALF BLOCK is missing from the character set, which otherwise contains the progression from U+2581 to U+2587?

Edit: U+2588 seems like an obvious candidate as well.

Hmm, I get the following:

  [scotty@Scotty-Allens-MacBook-Air ~/bin]$ spark 1,2,3,4,5
  ▇\c
  ▇\c
  ▇\c
  ▇\c
  ▇\c

I suspect this has something to do with my terminal settings, but I'm not sure quite what...

Nifty idea, regardless.

Try changing line 120 to

  echo -e $"$(print_tick $number)\c"

And it should work fine.

add a '-e' after 'echo' on line 120
