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:

// Lucid Dream
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib> 
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main()

{
    
  int value=0; 
  string reminder;

system("title Reality Checker v1.0");
cout << "Welcome to the Reality Checker v1.0\n\n" << endl;
cout << "This program is freeware, so spread it around as much as you like." << endl;
cout << "Happy deamin!" << endl;
cout << "\nCreated by: David Seviour (virus.exe) in 2008" << endl; 



system("pause");
system("cls");
cout << "How often do you want to be reminded to reality check?\nPlease type 15, 30, 60 or 120 (time in minutes)" << endl;
cin >> value;

        
    HWND stealth; /*creating stealth (window is not visible)*/
    AllocConsole();
    stealth=FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass",NULL);
    ShowWindow(stealth,0);    
    
    
    if(value == 15) {goto loop15;} 
    if(value == 30) {goto loop30;} 
    if(value == 60) {goto loop60;}
    if(value == 120) {goto loop120;}

return 0;    
    
    
   
loop15:
       
       
system("cls");

MessageBox(0,"You will be reminded every 15 minutes!","Reality Check",MB_OK);

loop15two:


Sleep(900000);


if (MessageBox(NULL, "Reality Check Now!!!\n\n Cancel  = close program\n Ok  = continue 15 minute reminders", "Reality Check", MB_OKCANCEL)
== IDCANCEL)
{
        
goto end;

}
    

goto loop15two;





loop30:

system("cls");
        MessageBox(0,"You will be reminded every 30 minutes!","Reality Check",MB_OK);
loop30two:
    
Sleep(1800000);



if (MessageBox(NULL, "Reality Check Now!!!\n\n Cancel  = close program\n Ok  = continue 30 minute reminders", "Reality Check", MB_OKCANCEL)
== IDCANCEL)
{
        
goto end;

}
    

    
goto loop30two;




loop60:

system("cls");
        MessageBox(0,"You will be reminded every 60 minutes!","Reality Check",MB_OK);
loop60two:
    
Sleep(3600000);




if (MessageBox(NULL, "Reality Check Now!!!\n\n Cancel  = close program\n Ok  = continue 60 minute reminders", "Reality Check", MB_OKCANCEL)
== IDCANCEL)
{
        
goto end;

}
    



goto loop60two;


loop120:

system("cls");
        MessageBox(0,"You will be reminded every 120 minutes!","Reality Check",MB_OK);
loop120two:
    
Sleep(7200000);




if (MessageBox(NULL, "Reality Check Now!!!\n\n Cancel  = close program\n Ok  = continue 120 minute reminders", "Reality Check", MB_OKCANCEL)
== IDCANCEL)
{
        
goto end;

}
    



goto loop120two;

end:
return 0;


}

#include <windows.h>

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

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

Also, there's a typo in there.

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

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

, 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).
