Can I make a fully fledged GUI Application capable of making game?

Posted by on

Some of you may know what QT offers, sleak, fast and sexy GUI programs. Last night I thought to myself "Imagine a program where you can make a game with the dawn engine all with one program!"

So I loaded up QT and got to work... Within 3 hours of constant programming, I managed to make a nice toolbar and I was able to load a .dpf (Dawn Project File). Ok in 3 hours I have done good progress, now all I have to do is: Implement lua syntax highlighting, Integrate the engine to run on command, let the user change engine settings, create my own map file format, create an entire folder structure... erm...I can't think of anything else. Well that should keep me busy till 3/8/2030.

I will keep you updated on the progress!
