Midterm Lab. Please help!

Assignment:
Show off what you can create with what you've learned about Processing this semester. Don't hold back. This should be your best work so far.

The expectation is that you will find a way to incorporate all of these topics covered so far this semester:
-variables
-conditionals
-functions
-loops (single and nested)
-arrays
-pointers

No idea where to even start, we can draw anything we want, but I don't want to make something too complicated. If someone could explain how I could incorporate all this into a picture I would be so greatful. I have an 80 in the class and would do anything for a good grade on this.

My current idea is to create a tennis racket in the middle of the screen and then create some sort of loop that creates a couple tennis balls and has them randomly bounce about in the screen by the way.

make a text based webpage making program? make a battleship game? make an encoder? decoder? i am just throwing ideas out there. but the tennis racket, how would that incorporate pointers?

I believe I have to make some sort of graphic. I'm working on openFrameworks also.

However, I have been working on a battleship in the past and this is what I currently have. If someone could help me figure out how to incorporate some more into this program I would greatly appreciate that.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

char grid[15][15];

void printGrid() {
cout << endl;
for (int x=0; x<15; x++) {
for (int y=0; y<15; y++) {
cout << setw(2) << grid[x][y];
}
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
}

void createGrid() {
for (int x=0; x<15; x++) {
for (int y=0; y<15; y++) {
grid[x][y] = '_';
}
}
}
void placeShips()
{

srand (time(NULL));
int x = rand() % 15;
int y = rand() % 15;

grid[x][y] = 'c';
grid[x+1][y] = 'c';
grid[x+2][y] = 'c';

x = rand() % 15;
y = rand() % 15;

grid[x][y] = 'd';
grid[x][y+1] = 'd';
grid[x][y+2] = 'd';
grid[x][y+3] = 'd';

}

int main ()
{
createGrid();
placeShips();
printGrid();

getchar();
return 0;
}
