For my C++ class I need an idea of a program to make.

I wanted to make a boggle game, but it's too easy I guess. I was just going to make a grid generate random letters with a timer. However, like I said, too easy. I wasn't going to make it find words or anything.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Errm, how bout, a program that creates random ascii pictures, or perhaps a proggy that generates random formulas and solves them.

erm, isn't Life too adavnced for someone who has just learned how to do loops? o.O

make tic tac toe, you can use a two dim array, like:

char martix[][] = {' ',' ',' ',

' ',' ',' ',
' ',' ',' '};


or you could try something simpler, like a number guessing game, you could use rand() for a random number..

Life is just 4 nested loops (x & y coords) - initialise, calculate, copy, display. Rinse and repeat.

That life effect is awesome. It would be cool to see a game based on it.

You get the idea. Maybe expand it a bit. Converting from Jamascript to C++ shouldn't be hard.

perhaps try making something where you can raise something and battle/breed with other creatures or people online.

I have little idea how C++ works, but how bout one of those text games? I remember programming a little text game by copying stuff from a book into BASIC when I was 5. Neat little game where you have to shoot at a ship and try not to get destroyed when it shoots at you. Several thousand lines of code, though :/.

I just don't know what to do!

I wanted to do boggle, but I don't know if its advanced enough, cause I want to keep it simple.
