school help(not homework, just ideas)

Hey guys I was wanting some extra credits for high school and also wanted to brush up with my programming skills. So I was wondering can you think of any c++ programming related things I could do that tie in with: social studies, math, or heath and careers. *edit*: Perl would be ok too.

thanks in advance!

Why don't you ask your teachers?
Well you can always make some math programs.

When I was in school, I had a ton of trig and calc stuff I did in c++, it's fun, and it'll speed up your homework.
If you have to do some sort of a presentation (likely in social studies or careers) that requires audience interaction, make a game.

The only thing that I can think of off of the top of my head for math would be some sort of a calculator for things like: quadratics, parabols (solve for various aspects of a parabola), triginometry, finances etc...
I can think of plenty of things to do that are math related. It depends on how advanced you are though. ;)
Yeah, it really depends how far your are in math.

At the end of the day, I would look at the current math class you are taking and see if there is a concept that you, or your fellow classmates, are struggling with or the work is tedious & laborious and try to make a program to expediate the process. That will sure impress your classmates.
a game for presentation...... SOUNDS AWESOME! now all I have to do is learn windows programming *sob*sob*. a calculator to show comprehension of concepts sounds good too.
I'm home school so if I have problems with math I usually whip up a quick Perl script anyway so why not use c++. oh and I'm in grade 9.
A game for a socials presentation sounds great. Any ideas(not how to code but what kind of game)? Mabee a quiz game or re-enactment of a battle where you can try different strategies? I'm in grade 9 if it matters.
oh and I'm in grade 9.

That doesn't say much, I took calculus in 9th grade while some of my friends were in pre-algebra.

For statistics I made a dice simulator rolling 2 dice to demonstrate the Law of Large Numbers.

Edit: I guess my point is what classes have you taken, not what grade are you in?

I want to move on to DirectX later anyways so I may as well suck it up and learn it. I've heard that once you get into it is easy.
