Why does it have to be 3 lines?

Anyway this is something I tried in Windows, to do the kind of display 
shown in the video. I couldn't be bothered dealing with actual time:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(void) {
     int n=0;

     system("cls");

     while (1) {
         printf("%d\r",n);
         ++n;
         Sleep(1000);
     }
}


(This assumes the value being displayed will never get shorter. It will 
do eventually but it will be decades hence. A time display however will 
be probably always be the same width.)
