C++ Reality Checker

Compile it if you want or download it here. Ive posted this before but I just though id put a copy of the script here. And I know the headers are messed.

Code:

I can add a few more if you want

You've already used up your share of gotos, as well as your children's and their children's :P

cout << "Happy deamin!" << endl;

Also, there's a typo in there. :P

Not a bad idea for a program, but I'd preferably want it to run on my Linux. :P

Ugh, Windows API. Use GLUT instead, it's cross platform and much easier to work with. You'll probably find it in OpenGL/GLUT.h

What IDE are you using? It should be yelling at you that you have unused headers.

Gotos :shock:, use methods instead. Let's write some pseudocode:

Code:

---

int main(void){
  Create GLUT window
  setup the GlutKeys() function
  setup the GlutIdleFunc() function
  Prompt for how often to do a reality check  'don't restrict to 15 min increments
  call GlutMainLoop()
}

idle(){
  long t = time + howoften
  while (true){
      if (time > t){
        RealityCheck();
        t = time + howoften;
      }
  }
}

keys(int key){
  select case(key){
      case 'x':
        exit(0);
        break;
  }
}

void RealityCheck(){
  Create new Glut window with RC message
}

---

There you go: no goto calls, no platform specific API, can set it for any time. :)

Or, it's trivial to just do something like this in javascript:

Code:

---

setInterval("doRC()", intervalMinutes * 60000);

---

Where doRC does whatever you want it to do (opening a window for a few seconds to get your attention and auto-closing it is really easy to do).
