I have been trying to figure out how to go about writing a software in my industry that is more useful than the current choices. Yesterday it finally hit me, treat it more like a video game than a complex software. So I was curious for any tips on the language to use.
I was reading how google apps are starting to compete against Microsoft Outlook and thought why not write a software that can be used online, thus being able to share the data more easily. What I am looking to do is a drag and drop interface and while you drag and drop items around it calculates equations. In doing that each object needs to be tied together. To start out I think there would be about 5000 objects to tie together each using different rules from different equations. And if you move one thing, then other objects tied to it change.
I would also want to be able to import and export ascii at first because this will need to export to different formats and import from certain formats.
And also be able to have say 5 pages of pictures that can relate to these 5000 objects any way you want. Say a moon and sun are the objects and I want to be able to place on page 3 the moon in the upper corner and the sun in the lower corner.
Any help would be great. Its been a long long time since I have looked at code, so I am sure I am gonna have to read up quite a bit on whatever langauge.
