Welp, i've hit a roadblock already but not in the form of coding problems, rather in the form of getting the bloody windows phone 8 sdk working. I tried installing it on my windows 8.1 32 bit os but it said I needed the 64 BIT version for the sdk to run. So after waiting around an hour and a half for the 64 bit iso to download I try installing it in a virtual machine. The computer resets. -_-
Giving up on virtual box I try freeing up space on my hard drive to make a third partition and triple boot. Problem being I can't find my flashdrive to put the installer dvd onto. -_-
So then, I try finding a blank dvd which I can't find and turn my room upside down looking for my flash drive. Couldn't find it. And then I realise that it wouldn't work anyway because my flashdrive is 4gb and the iso is 3.8 gb. Basicly it wouldn't fit on my flash drive. So now im TRYING to find a way to somehow install 8.1 64 bit so I can FINALLY start work on this. Sheesh so many problems and I haven't even started yet!!
Also as a side note with a project like this I dunno where to start. Should I program in the osz file decoding, the UI, or something else? With something like this where would be the best place to start?
