We need this to work on Windows - so a GUI would be perfect, if not then a simple .bat would suffice for now

we need to design the gui perfectly

i suggest something like this:

@moopsie... Also @rgarnier or whatever his name is.

Calling @Garner071.

I am not good with Windows. I don't really do Windows code. I'm sure I could whip up a .bat script and that'd be all good and well but that's probably not what Windows users are really looking for, I mean let's be realistic here.
I'm asking a lot but I'd like somebody to put aside 1-2 hours to make a basic GUI. Even just a "Start tea countdown" button. Just that! Then see how things go.
I'll unlikely be the one doing this part.

I don't know much about windows programming, but if we port this to C or C++, I would definitely be willing to develop a GTK+ GUI

couldnt you always just use cygwin?

[x89]

One could - but who would want to?!

[ghost]

i agree... nobody wants to, since it requires windows to run

[moopie]

Well you can always develop it in wine

How is this not resolved yet? Awful project management.

I wonder why you bring that up after a day working with QT! Get on it.

I wasn't working with qt, I'm just a user if qt applications!

Not really sure why any of this would need a GUI or a separate batch script. It's written in bash and is entirely compatible with bash for Windows.

What's easy to do is to install bash and create C:\Utilities and add it to your path. Once you've done that, plop tea.sh and tea.mp3 in C:\Utilities with a batch file reading;

@ECHO OFF
bash C:\Utilities\tea.sh %*

The bash script assumes that you have mpv, mplayer or vlc installed and added to your path. Assuming you meet those requirements this should function exactly the same as on a Linux box -- or at the very least require only a small amount of tweaking; especially here:

commandpicker() {
    if command -v mpv >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        player="mpv"
    elif command -v mplayer >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        player="mplayer -nogui"
    elif command -v vlc >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        player="vlc -I dummy --play-and-exit"
    else
        echo "We couldn't find a way to output sound when your tea is ready!"
    fi
}

That as well! Though with that said it would be a good entry to GUI writing for one who hadn't done so previously.
