Hallo,
Are there some programs all programmers should have made? Not like the simple "hallo world" and such, but more advance projects to learn from.
Creating a raytracer and the game of life seems like something most people do

Ray tracer? Nay. Far too advanced for anyone. You need lots of knowledge about graphics.
At the complexity level you imagine, the choices are far too broad to say that everyone should make one particular thing. How boring would that be?
The best programs are usually those that come about out of interest or need.
I enjoy programming, but I enjoy the income from programming better.
I guess some people are programming theorists and enthusiasts. I do it to put bread on the table. Therefore, for me, the best programs are those in which people put a greater value on than the price I put on my programs!

I formulated myself in a bad way, the question I was trying to ask is;
If there is some types of programs all programmers should have made at some stage to show that they know their stuff (In order to get a job)?
I think it really depends on what type of job you're aiming for. If you're aiming for some type of graphics/game-related job, a raytracer would likely help. If you're more into systems/network stuff, a solid RPC demo (or something similar) would likely be more useful than a raytracer.
I think the answer is no.
The FizzBuzz program?

Come on. That's not a proof of anything in the least.
