    Project ideas

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to come up with a meaningful low level project to work on in C.

    The only two meaningful low level projects I have worked on include compression and encryption.

    In school I'm in a class that teaches about networks, but programming is not involved in the class - while writing this I just came up with the idea of writing a simple chat room in C.

    If anyone has other ideas or has any suggestions on how I could start this project, it is very appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The world could always use another IRC client.

    In case you want another idea,i would suggest you to implement the game othello (reversi) in C.Create a 2D array and set up an ΑΛΦΑ ΒΗΤΑ (alpha - beta algorithm) and play!You may not use graphics in order to make your code less complex

    Excellent idea, thank you. At a glance it doesn't seem like it will be too difficult, but I know projects are never (almost never) as simple as they look.

    Other than Programming (assuming you are), what else are you interested in, (inside the field of Computer Science or outside)?

    If you have some amount of knowledge in that, making a project related to it would be less work and more enjoyment than fishing for ideas here.
