First, exactly what does it do when you try to start it. Does the starter spin the engine? Does that much sound OK? Only if that's ok, then you can start worrying about fuel vs. spark, or other stuff. Besides, it'll help if you tell us what year/model/mods you have.

"get a new car" isnt helpful I dont know what kind of damage severely overheating your car can do but I'm guessing the costs of repairing it will not be cheap. You'll probably have to take it to someone... good luck man. Dont give up on your car.

Often times no starts can be traced back to the main fuel relay. But since your temp gauge needle was way pass the half way mark, you may have fried something else as well.
