11:51:00 +07:00 Write your own terminal - Cool idea for a side project. One of my favorite things about building the first version of my linkblog was that I could use it everyday as I was building it. It ended up being one of my most used tools. Of course it was quite rudimentary initially, but since I was using it a lot, I added lots of features. The article mentions a wild idea of using OpenGL, and if you are planning on going into 3D stuff it definitely is, but if not I'd focus on other things like portability abd modularity. You might even be able to structure your application so you can swap out the boring renderer for the fancy OpenGL later. Though to be honest getting that right might be a big challenge in itself. Whatever the route make sure the iterations are small, get something operstionally working quicky, even if it looks basic, then make it better. # flak.tedunangst.com
