Someone was talking about making software in another forum. I think when we try to make software lots of times we have problems with GUI. This is a actually sort of like a library for C++ that helps you design GUI for games. It;s really simple and cool. Not only does it provide image support but also keyboard and mouse feedback.

These are a few examples of the application stored in my computer, which I frequently use. Some are free, some are shareware. I do not recommend anyone to crack but they all are "crackable". If you like that software, you have the rights to register them... :twisted:

I have some more cool stuff as below:

Virtual PC
Virtual PC is a powerful software virtualization solution that allows you to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation, providing a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system. It also saves reconfiguration time, so your support, development, and training staff can work more efficiently. Microsoft will release Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 late in calendar year 2003.

Further info of Virtual PC can be found in:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/

This software originally produced by Connectix but somehow it has been bought over by Microsoft. Another cool software from Connectix is the VGS Sony PS1 Emulator, unfortunately it can be operated under Windows 98 or below. That's why I used the Virtual PC. :twisted:

Someone was talking about making software in another forum.

I think that was me. Anyway , I think we can start from whatever we have and share it with others.

I'm by no means the best programmer. When we create software,
we can learn from others to look at the code. that way,

1. we can learn from others
2. we can produce a free software/ utility for us, for our entertainment.

ABout GUI, sadly, my GUI will usually not compatible with others
(I use Cocoa apps in mac )

But I think we can port stuff in several different platform.

there's one more GUI that we can work on, besides what littlebigone suggest: It is WXWIndows
