I''m in dire need of an application (ie. some tool that''s actually useful) to program in my spare time. So, I need some recommendations of any development tools, desktop mods, etc. that any of you guys would like to see/use. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO!!1

Make a program that predicts the fluctuations of the Stock Exchange. That should keep you busy for 5 minutes. Then send the source to me and erase it from your HD.

I would like a MilkShape and/or 3D Max plug in that would import/export my 3D file format (from Eternal Lands).

I''d like to see a tool that helps you create interactivity matrixes besides excel, so your rule relationships could be developed easier. There''s aren''t that many game design tools that I can find that deal with ''other than programming'' development issues. Every free copy of Erasmatron I''ve ever gotten on a CD in a game design book never works either.

I thought you were doing that cross platform game library.

Gamedev for learning.
libGDN for putting it all together.
An opensource, cross platform, cross API game development library.

But no! If he succeeds he''ll go insane and kill himself or have a massive stroke and die!

Desktop mod: voice command. Allow the user to associate specific actions (like openning a program) with a voice command. For example I could say at any time "Open Internet" and Mozilla would open or "Let''s Code" and MSVC++ would open.

Invader, try downloading WinKey. It''s not exactly voice commands but still very nifty.

Or drill a hole in his head and not be able to add large numbers in his head anymore.

Not to mention just going down in general in terms of being able to access gamedev.

Who needs such a thing when we have SDL (and it''s satellite libs) and OpenGL?
