    Title says it all!

    For me I would have to say a spore clone world/solar system generator. Was one of my earlier project and the learning curve for that one was quite something; map projections, camera projections, noises, spherical uv's.... Sigh -_-. But enough about me. What was your most wonderfully dreadful programming experience?

    Gotta second the AI call. Not so much the initial code writing for AI, but the debugging when you have a heap of permutations all interacting at the same time.

    And after that, server code.

    I agree. I am just finishing Fantasy AI 2.0. After this update, with Navigational mesh generation, and many other complex new features, I feel like I could program anything blindfolded.. :)

    I'm now doing a 2.5D system with both projector as well as cubemap cookie lights rendered in layers with multiple render to texture layers to get it all to work, not a lot of programming but it is starting to make my brain hurt...

    I've only done basic AI. There is the computer, unity, and I. None of them survived.
    ;)

    Also servers / databases they are a pain.

    AI isn't that difficult. Its just a bunch of behaviors that fire based on different variables.

    Now networking... no idea. My brain shuts down when I see networking code.

    function OnGUI(){

    }

    Everytime I change/add something to my main menu GUI it scares me...

    Probably my pathfinding/navmesh script or my event system editor.

    None of it is particularly advanced, code-wise, but I'm not a programmer so there's been lots of learning going on :p
