S.T.L.K.R.S. That's exactly what it is!
I was lazing around on a Sunday afternoon, talking to one of my friends, and he was talking about this guy who was finding it really hard to stalk this one person. The way he put it, it involved a lot of calculations and real-time adjustments which he was finding tedious (I know, I know, just bear with me). Well, I was listening to this, and then suddenly it hit me. Why couldn't you let a computer do it for you?
The first thing that I asked myself, and something I could not bring myself to believe, was 'are people that predictable?' And as it turns out, they are, or atleast they will be in a school environment. Which means that if you know a person's schedule, and where exactly those schedules are conducted, you could, at any given point in time, pin-point his or her location.
So I set myself down, and after 4 hours of coding and 8 cups of coffee, I came up with this. And just for fun, I named it STLKRS.
Now, before you turn me into Public Enemy No.1, I should just say that I was bored, coding something new sounded fun, and I just wanted to brush up my programming before the NOI which is on March 5th.
So, here they are, the original C++ source code along with the executable file:

When you execute it, the program reads from a database, processes all the information and tells you what you need to know in plain, simple English. What's the catch? You've got to create the database yourself. I've attached a small .txt file describing how to do so, but I don't see anyone doing all that. Just in case you do, don't forget to let me know of any errors in the program. Its not bulletproof, its just a time-pass.
P.S: Readers abroad may notice that the period names and locations have been customized to my current school. Sorry, I just neither have time nor interested.
Over and Out.
