To compile or not to compile?

[Srki_82]

Today is exactly 5 months since I didn't make any program/game at home. Every time I start IDE, look at empty project for some time, and close it.

What does make you want to create new program? What do you do when just don't know what to write in that empty source window?

A plan.

Write on paper something you would like to create, and the program it.

something that needs to be automated, like quit all orkut communities, currently 107 lines of python code (excluding consts)

You can get inspiration from anything - your own ideas, other games etc. In my own experience, once I start coding a game, it grows and grows. It becomes a living thing, I'm an artist at heart and I love creating new things. I write poetry and I code. Go where your heart tells you to go, good luck!
