Solved! Make a word processing software

[petrajordanriver]

Hi my name is Jordan and i want to make a word processing software (like word) that starts out simple and i can develop over time. I have just started using unity to make games so i would like to use unity if possible. I know that this is unrealistic (to create something like word) but i want to do it anyway. I am a beginner at coding so some tutorial suggestions would be helpful too.

Thanks very much in advance!!!

Jordan,

You don't use wood-working tools to work metal. Not that it's impossible (and some time it is)..

Use the right tool for the right job (or, in your case - do a job you have the tools for).

1. You don't use unity for this. Proper tools and language.

2. Start a bit smaller... Something like Notepad, instead of Word.

3. Download and investigate the source code for OpenOffice or similar. That may get you started, and give you an idea of the scope of this major project.

Also it is meant to start out as note pad and get to something like word eventually.
