Drawing a sine curve in memory view of Task Manager

[Lukiewookie]

Hi guys [Image: icon_e_smile.gif]

I am trying to write a simple proof-of-concept script on Windows 10 that let's me draw the absolute of a sin curve in the task manager memory window.

My code is as follows:

import time
import math
import gc
import sys

x = 1
string_drawer = []

while True:

    #Formula for the eqaution (sin curve)
    y = (abs(math.sin(math.radians(100*x))))*512000000
    print (y, type(y))

    #Making y type 'int' so that it can be used to append
    y = int(round(y))
    print (y, type(y))

    #Checking the size of string_drawer for debugging
    print(sys.getsizeof(string_drawer))

    #Loop used for appending
    if sys.getsizeof(string_drawer) < y: #If y is bigger, find the difference and append

        y = y - sys.getsizeof(string_drawer)
        string_drawer.append(' ' *y)

    elif sys.getsizeof(string_drawer) > y: #If y is smaller, delete the variable and make a new one

        string_drawer = [] *y

    else: #If y is the same size as string_drawer, do nothing

        pass

    #Call the Python gerbage colector
    gc.collect()

    #Sleep to make sure Task Manager catches the change in RAM usage
    time.sleep(0.5)

    #Increment x
    x += 1
    print(x, type(x))

What I am getting is this:


What I want is this:


I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong, but I suspect it is something to do with the garbage collection in Python. I've extensively searched for the answer, but I didn't find anything that worked...

I hope you guys can help me. Thanks!
