Derring-Do

==========

Derring-Do is a silly progress monitor that you can add to your console

Ruby applications.

It will emit "encouraging" words periodically, to indicate progress is being

made on a job. If the campaign (or job) is given a target, the progress

will also include updates saying specifically how far the campaign has gone

toward that target.

Usage

-----

    require 'derring-do'

  

    # untargetted campaigns (with no specifical goal in mind)

  

    derring do |campaign|

      1000.times do

        campaign.tally_ho!

        sleep 0.2

      end

    end

  

    # targetted campaigns (aiming for a particular goal)

  

    derring do |campaign|

      campaign.target = 2000

      1000.times do

        campaign.tally_ho! 2

        sleep 0.2

      end

    end

Installation

------------

    gem install derring-do

Caveats

-------

I wrote this mostly to teach myself how to use rspec. The idea occurred to me

while mostly asleep, so while it may not be actually useful, it is certainly

whimsical.
