I understand that this forum is filled with computer science genius's but there must come a point where your expertise in coding can not keep up with your creativity.

I am a front end programmer and designer of sorts. I have so many ideas, with no ways of implementing them. I know of platforms that can help, I am really into the arduino project for physical ideas and I know Flash is an amazing platform for software, but when it comes to complex ideas, even such as a 3D game, things can be too much to handle individually.

When you have an idea, what is your typical methodology of bring them to life?

• Write down the idea, save if for later (never gets made right...)
• Try building it yourself, on the platforms you work with and are good at
• Consult people on what platform it is best suited to and collaborate with an expert in that field to do the dirty work
• Consult people on what platform it is best suited to and try to learn it and make it yourself (at least the alpha stages)
• Are there any communities that support this idea of bringing things to life?
• Can you pitch ideas to x company as a business model and hope they take you on / sponsor you?
• Do you have to spend lots of $$$ to get things made?
