So I am interested in starting a c++ project, primarily a console application, to help me further progress in my c++ fluency. I am currently enrolled in a c++ class at my college but I feel like I am not being challenged enough. I am always 5 steps ahead of the class and I really enjoy programming. So after reading through the forums on this site I saw a post from someone recommending that the best way to actually learn the language and further fluency is to start a good project. So if anyone can recommend me some interesting/long projects to work on that are not advanced, I would greatly appreciate it.
No worries, although those kind of problems will help with your logic, but not with your program design and structure to be honest. A good place to start with that kinda stuff (maybe) is to look at 'design patterns', http://www.oodesign.com/
