Sugestions For Beginners Project

Hello guys! Recently began using C + + and programming in general. Just thought I'd check with you knowledgeable guys on a challenging yet fairly basic project. Does not matter if it's in the Dev-C + + or Visual Studio.

Please come with fun ideas, and I know that these may not be allowed by the forum rules but I can not think of any other ideas.
Implement Conway's Game of Life on 20x20 toroidal (wrapping) field.
Trying with simple stuff like checking if a string is a palindrome,basic encryption, and maybe some common sorting algorithms like bubble sort and selection.

It is hard to answer a question like this without knowing the level of programming you are familiar with. My first 'game' was a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' type console game as a test to see how well I understood loops and error checking.
Thank you! I'll try and see if I will go anywhere. I've only been doing this for 4 days so we'll see how it goes. But thanks for the suggestions

Hmm yeah I can understand that, what I know is just the basic. I've checked out the lessons on this site and read a bit on different forums and seen a few videos, nothing more than that. So it's just the most basic I understand, if even that.
The best advice I can give is for you to look at the projects you have already made, through the learning process, and think "How can I make this into something fun or more complex?".
