You probably also need to flush the output each time you write the \r
otherwise you will only see that stream of characters between the last
and and penultimate \r. Unless you do something special to your tty,
output will always be buffered. This is where curses/ncurses can
relieve you from some of thse considerations.

the loop. Oh well.

I think you are looking for \r - carriage return.
