Need Ideas for a mini project in c++!!!!!!

First of all i am an intermediate c++ programmer. I have this "mini project in c++" in my course curriculum(I'm pursuing my Bachelors in Engineering in Information Technology). I am really short of ideas. Can someone please suggest me of a difficult and logical yet easy for an intermediate c++ programmer type of project.


Thanks in advance.

i dont know how hard this is but a program to calculate the circumference of a circle by just giving it the radius and vice versa

I'm guessing that's a joke, since any engineer worth their salt could do that in less than 5
minutes!!!

It's difficult for us to suggest an appropriate project without some idea of your level of
experience. What material have you covered, what assignments/projects have you done?

really ive never been able to figure it out so can you pm me the code?

Don't hijack the thread. If you have a new question, post a new thread. And make an attempt... And use code tags... etc.

What do you know about digital logic? The program one guy here is working on to create a program to simulate digital logic circuits seemed interesting. Also I just got through writing a program to solve crossword puzzles. It was pretty neat. Files are of the form:

Code:

A B C D 
E F G H
I J K L
M N O P

word1
word2
word3

The puzzles were 40 characters wide (not including spaces) and 40 characters high. There was a space and then a bucnh of words to look for. The puzzles were in 64 seperate files and you build a puzzle like this:

Code:

say this is puzzle1.txt

1 1 
1 1

words1

Code:

say this is puzzle2.txt

2 2  
2 2 

words2

Code:

say this is puzzle3.txt

3 3 
3 3

words3

Code:

say this is puzzle4.txt

4 4 
4 4

words4

Would be combined to form a big puzzle like this:

Code:

say this is puzzle1.txt

1 1 2 2 
1 1 2 2
3 3 4 4
3 3 4 4

words1

User can enter any number of files so long as it is a perfect square (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, ... , 8x8). There is a file with the list of the files to build it from:

Code:

puzzle1.txt
puzzle2.txt
puzzle3.txt
puzzle4.txt

You output the results to a text file like this:

Code:

word1(3,4,NE)
word2(78,23,S)
. . .

To show that word one is located at (3,4) running northeast, etc. It would be a good exercise to do. I just did it a week or so.

a difficult and logical yet easy

"Difficult" and "easy" are contradictory. Thus it is not "logical"

On a more serious note, you could write more complex but "logical" programs than crosswords, but in the same spirit -- arbitrary size sudoku generators, or simple chess/poker/go players, for example. Of course, try to make them a little more efficient and advanced than these...
