Small Windows Project Ideas

[Skele]

Eww, I hate C# and all those .net languages. I use DevC++ anyways.Yea, I want to create just a simple UI that is useful. If I every create a game, I will probably use SDL or OpenGL.

Yeah, C# is a bit of a bitch sometimes. I hate the fact it's so managed. For GUI development it's much easier in some ways.

You could use MFC as well, which is less restrictive, but allows you to create the GUI portion much easier.

The Win32 SDK can be a nightmare to manage. :(

Oh yuk, thats also bad. I will only learn the 'Foundation Classes after I learn the Win32 SDK.

Eh, indeed, but once you get a hold on things, it gets a bit better. It was pretty daunting at first.

Yeah. I do admit using the SDK has its benefits. For one of my assignments I had to create an application that scanned an image, using TWAIN support, and then print that image out. Also had to make  it so that you could invert the images colours, make it grayscale, and apply a threshold to it. I considered doing it in C# to make the interface faster, but you can't access the raw bitmap data as easily in C#... C# likes to hide things it considers unsafe from you. :(

If you play WoW I have an idea for a desktop app that I may work on when I have free time, if you wanted to work on that with me.

Hah, I really don't feel like affording Blizzard's iron tariff right now. I have always thought of hosting/joining a private server sometime, though.

Well, the idea just needs the client for testing really. I don't know if I want to do it given the amount of free time I have with this semester. Was just an idea. :o
