def walking():
Variable = True
while Variable == True: 
    print("Walking", end = "\r")
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print("Walking.", end = "\r")
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print("Walking..", end = "\r")
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print("Walking...", end = "\r")
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print("          ", end = "\r")

Im trying to get it to print out an animation that goes:

Walking delete it Walking. delete it Walking.. delete it Walking... then repeat

I don't want to delete everything on the console since other things are going to be shown when this is shown

If thats all you're doing it would be far easier just to print one extra dot on the same line – Sayse Apr 22 '22 at 08:26

or add `flush=True` to the print command ... read it up. – Patrick Artner Apr 22 '22 at 08:27
I have absolutely no idea how to do that, im still new to python – StinkingMerm Apr 22 '22 at 08:27
also: `while True: ............ break` – Patrick Artner Apr 22 '22 at 08:27
`print("Walking", end = "", flush=True)` sleep `print(".", end = "", flush=True)` sleep `print(".", end = "", flush=True)` sleep `print(".", end = "", flush=True)` sleep `print(".", end = "", flush=True)` ... no line deletion needed .. at the end overwrite with flush as well ... like [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/3249539/7505395) proposes – Patrick Artner Apr 22 '22 at 08:28
