It is probably one of the most challenging tasks, especially if you are out to write it from scratch.

In short, you should be the kind of person who doesn't give up real easy/soon. I didn't; atleast not in the last 3 years which saw 4-5 times of complete code rewrite, change in design and toolchain, evolving ideas and understanding of programming concepts.
