I'd like to know how can one get started building a visual scripting component (or what is the more accurate term for this type of component?) such as UDK's and Unreal Engine's Kismet.

For those who are not familiar, the system allows connecting various pieces of logic visually, creating a possibly complex component out of smaller building blocks.

While the underlying data model may be (perhaps) something i can figure out for myself, it is the visual part that i am not sure of how to work out.

Are there any libraries that facilitate writing something like this? Where can i get started on thsi ?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

  • "Programming questions that aren't specific to game development are off-topic here, but can be asked on Stack Overflow. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself "would a professional game developer give me a better/different/more specific answer to this question than other programmers?"" – bummzack, Trevor Powell, msell, Byte56

This is not a gaming related question, it is more like general graphcis programming.

You need to implement some kind of GUI library yourself, and looks like you will need vector based graphics. You might want to use something like OpenVG or similar for that.
