Work Suspended

This project is far from complete and the code is sloppy as hell,
but I wanted to get this out there as it is a working application.

I have yet to
- add all the features that I want to see in this app
- fix things that got broke while fixing other stuff
- clean up the code

On that note, I apologize for the long lines and I will clean them up eventually.
I also plan on re-writing a lot of this now that it is fully functional in it's current state.
(So please don't knock my poor coding skills)

If you know nothing about biorhythms, you can get started here.



This uses rmchart.dll and several snippets found on the forum;
You do not need to download the dll as it is embedded in the script (for now)
and I'll give proper credits once I figure out where everything came from.

Please, send me some feedback, but remember, this is a work in progress.

[edit] Code removed; Download it here.
[edit] Screenshot added.
[edit] Dates added to bottom of chart.
[edit] Rudimentary 'Help' added (something more formal to come eventually).
[edit] Progress Bar added for installing dll (but takes too long... Will remove when actual Installer is ready).
[edit] Started adding Menu items (Help button moved to Menu).

A tutorial is in the works, but getting the core functionality down was priority one (of course).
To get you started, refer to the wikipedia link in my first post or do a quick Google for 'biorhythms'.

Thanks for checking it out.

Bump

The code is sloppy and poorly written and it could definitely use an installer since WriteFile() takes so long, but that aside, with so little feedback from the community, I wonder if this is even worth pursuing?

You should make programs for YOURSELF and share them if you think that others would like them. I'm sure you're not but you are coming across as a cry baby (... Discontinued due to lack of community interest in the thread title and in your last post (in big red letters!!)). There probably are people that ARE interested in your app but are not posting... I know I don't always. Do YOU find it useful? Do YOU enjoy programming it? If you do then carry on with it and bugger "community feedback".

Please take this post as constructive and carry on with your app. Smile

I have noticed that interest can be huge, but people will generally only post when something doesnt work or if they want changes made.

Of course I take your post as constructive (the cry baby thing stings a little, though). I did start working on this as a project for myself (I always thought biorhythms were kinda neat) but posted to share with the community hoping for input that would help keep me motivated. You see, I get bored easily and lose interest in things. The code is sloppy, etcetera and I know that... That's not what I was looking for, but rather ideas to make it better (like imapow's suggestion for some sort of instructions) and to keep me moving forward.

PS - Title and 'last' post now simply read 'Work Suspended'

That's one reason I simply marked the thread as 'Discontinued' rather than removing it.
Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind down the road and get back to work on this.

Maybe Rename it to Final Release. Disoncontinued may put people off looking.
