Oh yeah, making an app that is easy to use and still secure is definitely not easy. But at least you would know how you implemented the encryption on it.
I didn't mean "your own" app would be easier to use, I meant the crypto would be easier to use via an app instead of using it through the command line.
The funny thing is that I do have some experience with auto repair, HVAC, and carpentry. My Dad is a general contractor and every summer I would usually go help him with jobs. I've helped build a house, work on a custom deck for a pool, and quite a few other things. We have worked on my truck and car together. Being in Houston isn't the best for doing that stuff. Being in an attic where it's 90+ out isn't very fun. Thanks for the advice though!
If I didn't have to worry about malicious ads, pop up advertisements, video ads that automatically play, and obnoxious ads then I probably wouldn't use AdBlock. But since advertisements are nothing but obnoxious then it makes it hard for me to change my mind...
For games, I would recommend C++, C#, or Java.
They have good libraries for games already created.
C++: SFML and SDL
C#: OpenTK and XNA
Java: LWJGL and Slick (Which uses LWJGL)
