How about a string class? It can be very simple or very complex depending on your experience with C++ and is quite a learning experience if you've never done it before. Especially if you try to keep it ISO conforming (bad idea if you're new to the language though).

I seriously think that there should be a sticky thread at the top of the C++ forum with a huge list of project ideas for beginners.

Yeah, either that or people could just search the board for all of the program ideas we've already posted.

Anyway, here's a regurgitation of ideas I've suggested in the past. You can make them as simple or complex as you want depending on your level or expertise.

Yahtzee
Cryptography, write a cipher or cipher-breaker
Mastermind(this is a pretty easy one)
Calculator(very useful, as it can be used in other programs)
24
and the one idea you can always fall back on . . .

*drum roll*





CARD GAMES! That's right. Any card game you can think of can be coded out for your enjoyment.

An address book? If you know Ruby you can see an example I made on my site.
