C++ project idea

[Aikouka]

Eh... that sounds more like a study not like something you'd want to implement in a program.

 

[FeuerFrei]

How about writing software that syncs a directory with a removable drive, as in an mp3 player. May not be a beginner type project.

 

[Electric Amish]

I made a Chinese Checkers game using 6-way linked lists. =D

 

[habib89]

i have files that i constantly have to rename to remove the default extension.. ie filename.txt.1 and i have to remove the .1 part... make a program that removes that .1 for me leaving the rest

i'm not sure if i learned that much in my C++ class, but then again that was about 6 years ago, i hardly remember any of it

err ...yes my idea is somewhat like a study but the thing is its easy to make ...

and when you run the program it prints
"Hellow World! Watch out, here i c-Object not found at reference 3"

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.

This sounds like something right out of a first year class (at least it was for me).

Write a program that does not crash or leak memory. Pretty hard with C++

 

[her209]

Write a C++ program that writes C++ code for you.

 

[vrbaba]

Dont you have any guidelines at all??

If not, then for beginners c++, I would suggest looking around stuff...that you think can be programmed and sounds interesting to you. Think of things as "input" ---process---> "output"
It will give you better ideas as to what is feasible and what not. We created easy games, etc. for our class. I can dig through my assignments for ideas, let me know. but its been about 6 years...so, not sure if I still have them.

Make a wheel of fortune game that reads the possible phrases from a text file.

Write a virus that sabotages all the other students' projects??

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..

[SoundTheSurrender]

Write a program that takes a text file and encrypts a text file. Then make it put the file back at users choice.

 

[PhattyB]

Make a larger 'battlefield' game with netcode for 1,000 simultaneous players

Kidding of course.. but one can dream?

 

[vrbaba]

we wrote a simple zip utility based on some elementary coding theory. ... ehh... forgot the name of the code, but you could follow that easily and write a simple code about it.

thanks everybody ...

I would do a ray caster, or if your really ballsy a ray tracer. But that just my graphics bias comming through.
