izidorGiving up and starting something new
About a year ago i started working on a GUI called BGUI and i thought it's gonna be easy, but it isn't (for me). I had a lot of ideas that i couldn't realize. Now im gonna do something a bit different. So this is a kind of warning for thoes who are going to make a GUI, start simple, do not complicate the things!

That's good advice, a lot of GUI projects get abandoned because the goals are too high, and not realistic.

Giving up is never a good idea. Especially if you wrote a lot of code already. You just need to take your time, even if it takes years, the end result will be worth it.

In a word, plan. All of my large scale projects have failed because I didn't plan what I was doing, I just dived straight in :P And in terms of how to plan, nothing beats a pen and paper.

I'm from Slovenia. I knew there was something Slavic about you :) By the way, a Wacom tablet + MS Paint _does_ beat pen and paper.
