    Join an open source project. Some of them offer tutoring for beginners, which would be very helpful if you haven't worked on an open source project before. You'll get exactly what you need... A lot of practice, a chance to learn and the satisfaction of a job well done.

    Hey this actually sounds like a good idea as well, then I can probably also reference such projects when I am on my hands and knees begging for a job as a programmer. I will definetaly look for some opensource projects thanks!

    KOM UIT DAAAAA!!!

      Thanks that sounds like a few good ideas! Maybe I should remake some of the old DOS games. Like 'Alley cat' (Almost like the squirrel game you suggested?). The chess game seems hard, and I am not very clued up on AI. AI scares me, to be honest I don't even like it if woman think, nevermind computers... ;P

        Well, you do want to get better. Tough projects stretch you even if you don't complete them. AI doesn't have to be good on the first iteration. Or ever to accomplish your goal. Any old DOS game, or a re-envisioning of some of the stuff that came before like MULE. I've not played Alley cat but upon reading about it; yes that's the idea.

          Hello everybody I am not in a programming career, but I do like to program for fun (Wouldn't it be awesome if I were in a career involving programming, so that I could actually enjoy my job?). Anyway as with most things in life you get better at it the more you do it, so I am looking for something to program to practice my c++ skills, something with OOP stuff. I was wondering if anybody out there knows any games or fun programming projects that I can do. I like programming games and stuff, like Tetris, does anybody else maybe have any other ideas. This is probably a weird post or something but that's just me...

          Hey MXit recently released documentation on their protocol, so why not write a PC client for it? I did and it was loads of fun :)

            Write a program that lets us filter out inane posts from the Lounge, like this one.
