So basically I have programming class but I have no idea what I should program. Could anyone come with some neat suggestions. Also, I haven't programmed a lot so nothing that requires a lot of knowledge about the language.

Thank you <3

Play with Robocode.You program Bots in Java then set them loose on each other. It's fun.

http://robocode.sourceforge.net/

Sounds awesome! xD
Thank you!

ah, robocode.... my java assignment last semester was to edit that game and create extra features to it.

I am wondering if that Robocode will be to much for you if you just have a basic understanding of Java. If you do not know how to do Swing or make a GUI in Java then I suggest trying to make a calculator. It will work help improve all basics, kind of be fun and give you a good amount of experience in Classes (if you choose to make it like that).

Well I've pretty much started out this semester so I haven't got that far yet.
But I've already made a calculator.
Perhaps I should try to make a graphical calculator.

It'll be no problem. I had no experience in Java when I had to program a Robocode bot for a competition.

Although I didn't really make programs, but I did have some basic C++ programming knowledge at that time.

anything like this for python?
I only know python, and am a N00b at it right now!

lothia · 10-22-2008, 05:54 PM

Ah so this Robocode is more of less a program built on Java that does most of the work for you and you just set it up?
Interesting you have already done a calc, making a graphinc calculator would take a lot longer, because then you need to learn swing, and some other things.

Depending on how good you are:

Beginning: A clock.
Medium: In agreeance with Lothia, a Calculator.
Hard: Grey Hat BotNet

You have to start somewhere.
