B4J Code Snippet Pause execution in Console app

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    sys.InitializeStatic("java.lang.System")
    Dim user_input As String
    Log("Press <q> to exit..")
    Do Until user_input.ToLowerCase = "q"
        user_input = Input("> ")
       
        If user_input.EqualsIgnoreCase("hack") Then
            Log("root@kali$ Hacking your B4X forum password. Please wait...")
            Pause(2000)

            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (10%)")
            Pause(1000)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (20%)")
            Pause(2000)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (50%)")
            Pause(500)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (80%)")
            Pause(500)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (90%)")
            Pause(500)
           
            Log("root@kali$ Completed. Your password is (just kidding)")
            Pause(1000)
        Else
            Log($"You entered '${user_input}'"$)
        End If

Hey, you found my password !

BTW, you can use the regular and in most cases better Sleep method.

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    sys.InitializeStatic("java.lang.System")
    Start
   StartMessageLoop
End Sub

Sub Start
    Dim user_input As String
    Log("Press <q> to exit..")
    Do Until user_input.ToLowerCase = "q"
        user_input = Input("> ")
       
        If user_input.EqualsIgnoreCase("hack") Then
            Log("root@kali$ Hacking your B4X forum password. Please wait...")
            Sleep(2000)

            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (10%)")
            Sleep(1000)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (20%)")
            Sleep(2000)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (50%)")
            Sleep(500)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (80%)")
            Sleep(500)
            Log("root@kali$ Processing... (90%)")
            Sleep(500)
           
            Log("root@kali$ Completed. Your password is (just kidding)")
            Sleep(1000)
        Else
            Log($"You entered '${user_input}'"$)
        End If
    Loop
    Log("Goodbye")
    Sleep(500)
End Sub

This will allow a real app to do many more things while waiting.

Thanks Erel. It works but I need to add StopMessageLoop before the last End Sub.
