Make a basic operating system. That's what I had to do, anyway.

 

[Gibson486]

make a program that find people's phone numbers in a text file....

 

[clamum]

SkyNet?

 

[sao123]

make a PDP-11 hardware emulator...

Make a program that estimates loan payments, interest rates and make suggestion about different accounts/situations.

This may sound boring but would be pretty useful and easy to implement.

User would input a principal and some APR, then choose different term lengths.
You can use predetermined formulas in economics or finances textbooks to set up the sums and calculations.

Have the program output the annuities and # terms required; net payment needed monthly.
Then maybe also estimate the amount of interest made if you were to keep the money in a CD account.

etc.

Make a program that randomly generates program ideas by stringing together words from a database.

Why does this sound like a Prof. Farnsworth idea?

And that's what my life would be like had I only invented the finglonger. <looks at finger sadly>

A man can dream, though...a man can dream...

make blackjack or battleship, that's what i did in hs.

 

[brxndxn]

Make me a program that pings any set of IP addresses constantly at any interval that saves it in a text file in order to monitor uptime..

Then, make it so it graphs certain stats like uptime, latency, etc..

I can't find a good uptime monitor.. that's all I want..

Write an event based simulation of something. The effect on airport traffic caused by airbus planes, for example. They carry more people, but other planes can't follow as closely or something like that. Such programs are easy to do and you can write whole papers on the results and what happens when you twiddle the variables.

 

[Cooler]

Make one of the old Text Adventure games!

How about a good RPN calculator? Or an app that will let you use any pre-existing online calculator in RPN mode.

Some freeware for use by clubs that run soccer tournaments, to calculate all the game schedules, standings, stats. Too many tournaments do that by hand, or have to buy an application.

Ditto for other types of events, like basketball, surfing, tennis or whatever.

Freeware to let drivers input their start & destination locations, then calculate Miles per Dollar. You'd have to lookup map info and est. current gasoline prices from soemwhere.

I like both his ideas.

Write your own compiler and text editor.

 

[KingofCamelot]

Work on file compression.

Thats currently what I'm working on in C++, just for fun though.

redo bejewelled. What we did was set up an 8x8 array, found ones with three in a row. Then allow the player to switch two ajacent squares and reload the updated board.

sorry for the extremely late reply , this thread is full of brilliant ideas , now ill tell you about what i have in mind:

Object of program would be : to calculate out how much electrical power is saved if my University campus uses a control system to control lights, ACs , computers and fans according to class schedule of that specific day . and compare it with if control system is not used .

this idea is looking very easy to me , please can you guys like give me ideas how to further improve it and add some more difficulty.

P.S : i wanted to make a interfacing program to control an 2X16 LCD but my instructor told me you should make a full software based program, but he said its optional, anyway i can integrate LCD interfacing with the above idea(i know it sounds weird)?
