(H1Z1) Vizik's LOCHelper

Vizik's LOCHelper (For H1Z1)

This tool will guide you in which direction you should be facing. Select a major city/area, enter x/z coords and try to match the heading it gives you.

It isn't really accurate, it will give you a vague 90 degrees so there's no absolute guarantee it will give you satisfying results.
I apologize in advance since I am a beginner but I hope this will be helpful or atleast a little interesting... or something to laugh at. Enjoy

It's not bad for a beginner program. Not something to laugh at when you're using it to better understand what you've learned.

A few things though:
if, else if, else if, else if
stack on top of each other looks bad, look into switch (menuOption) since you're just doing it off of char anyway.

You can make your user input case insensitive by first making it lowercase or uppercase, look into toupper(var) or tolower(var) (then the user can use P or p, E or e)

Since you're running your menu and the if statements in the while (menuRun == true) you don't need Start: and else goto start. If your intention is to make it so the cout statements don't show up continuously you can move the while (true) statement to right before cin >> menuOption

And void (for function type) since you're always returning 0 anyway, you don't really need "int" function.

There might be a few other things I have overlooked but this would be some good things to look into for you.

Thanks man! It was pretty fun adding the new improvements and at the same time I decided to rewrite it to make it a little less chunky
