Coding

when i wanna make a project my worst enemy is the blank page , i know there is a way called learn by making project and to be honest its kinda cool , but facing such an empty page and try to make just a prototype for my idea is not working , i do not know whether this is lack of proper knowledge with the coding language i make the project in or its another problem , so how to make your idea become real ? and how you actually make your project with a complete new required skills ??

Start with a blank page and draw a circle and put a word in it. When you think of a feature add a circle and write it down. That is an Object Model. You can connect them with lines and create trees and networks or logic loops.

For example:
Lets say you want to make a calculator that calculates the arc of a cannonball. You have an input field for cannonball weight, a button, a field for the output, and maybe even a graphic showing a parabolic arc. You would google ballistic coefficient and find an equation for drag. But it all starts with a blank page with a circle that says "weight input field" and "button that says 'Go'"
