Pfff.
Sounds more fun than creating some CLI Winforms app, docking unmanaged C++ code to it, add things with WinApi, hook some unmanaged static lib, pack everything into a DLL which then docks to A8 routing the engine output into the Winforms application which requires hacking the Windows message loops.

I learned so many things I never wanted to learn.
PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS and everything mixed together with some SQL database? I have no fears... not anymore
