(C++) GUI Question

[tooltiperror]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	
	int thisisanumber;
	int x = 0;
    
	for (x=0;thisisanumber!=3;x++)
	{
		cout<<"Enter a guess: ";
		cin>> thisisanumber;
		if (thisisanumber<3)
		{
			cout<<"Your guess is too low. \n";
		}
		else if (thisisanumber>3){
			cout<<"Your guess is to high. \n"; 	
		}
	}
	cout<<"You have won! \n";
	cin.get();
}

This code, obviously, asks for a random number, well not random, and then tells you if it was lower or higher, untill you guess it.

1) How do I get a random number? Whenever I try to use stuff, it doesn't work.

2) How do I make a GUI for this? Like a window with a text box and maybe a number line to choose from.

3) How do I change it into a .app?

1) I believe theres quite a bit of stuff about this subject on the net. Using the current time as a seed is one way, still doesn't really make it random though, just more improbable to get the same pattern. I think .NET has a random class which is really quite random.
2) Visual C++ makes this easiest imo.
3) Sorry, no idea. Why would you need this?

I believe including the windows.h header adds native Windows GUI elements, but it's a bitch to code (at least in C it is.).

If you use GTK+ though, you can make cross-platform GUI.

2: either opengl or dirextx will help

2) Use wxWidgets, using openGL would be terrible waste of resources and time for a simple application.
