Out of ideas...

[QWERTYman]

So, I've been programming for a little over a year now (13 months)...and I have officially run the heck out of ideas. Or at least ideas for my level (beginner/intermediate). So...anyone got anything they can throw at me? Preferably not solid, I mean ideas. :D

Make a minesweeper game that can load minefields from a text file (or randomly generate minefields).

Or make a blackjack game with some advanced rules (like surrender, etc.).

[jsmith]

std::runtime_error( "Crash!" );

Sorry. You did say "throw"...

Pick an area of C++ you'd like to learn more about first. Then come up with an idea that lets you practice the concept. What are you interested in learning about?

I haven't had the time I want to apply to it, but I'm going to do Grey Wolf's Sudoku Challenge with a SDL game interface, so that users can play randomly-generated gameboards, including those of different layouts than the standard 3 and 9 cube.

That's all I've got right now...

Are you on windows or *nix

Both interchangeably, but since I still can't get ndisgtk for my dualbooted laptop (my only wireless connections are Windows drivers, and I can't get ndisgtk without internet, sort of a vicious circle), I code in windows.

@jsmith: ...that was a bad pun. I suppose I'd like to learn quite a bit more about the STL, seeing as I'm just climbing out of class templates, inheritance, and, of course, exceptions. Vectors, lists, iterators...that kind of thing.

I asked because recently I trawled throught the PTP (Picture Transport Protocol), and USB spec and wrote a little library in c++ to get pictures and data from my digital camera.

I'm dithering about a GUI interface (I'm thinking about using SDL/SDL_image). maybe you can
write this interface as a project??

Make a program that will modify Minesweeper's memory to give you 'cheats' in the game such as unlimited health. :) Use WriteProcessMemory().
