Hello there, first blog post so excuse me if I don't do this 100% correctly.

I'd like to say I have a knowledge of C, I believe it to be good, although as with everything it could be improved upon. I may start learning C++, I was going too but didn't have the time with college although I do now have the time (my course is unrelated to programming).

So, I would think to myself; "What to do now? continue going over the things that I already know?"

Well, that is one thing I will be doing, just to keep it fresh in my mind. So, I thought maybe I'll try a project, it will keep me busy and give me something to code with a proper outcome but then I have no idea what to make so i'm stuck in this spiral of;

Boredom > Read notes > Code (no outcome, just for funs) > think what program to make > goto line 1.

That's all this time, folks. Thanks for reading.

    Coming up with an idea for a project can be hard. What are you interested in? What operating system do you want to develop for? We at CodeCall can help you come up with some ideas.

    One of the simplest things you can do is learn the API for your favorite OS, and write a basic game. Doing things like writing a chess program that doesn't have an AI, just enforces legal moves, can be an excellent way to stretch yourself.

    Well, preferably for windows XP/Vista (i'm using vista myself eww. ). I'm not sure what i'm interested in though, to be honest oO.

    I'll try your suggestion, although I feel pretty stupid since I am not even so sure of what it is, and don't know how to install custom librarys

    You can even write a text-based chess program that just displays the board as characters.
