Idea's

[Psynic]

I'm trying really hard to get into C# but the biggest struggle i come to is thinking of ideas for programs.

so i am looking for some help thinking of what i want to make some programs do.
i know basic programming concepts and i have done hello world also some basic string manipulation programs and a calculator program.

What do you guys think? +rep <3

Maybe you can program a little Game or what's up with windows forms. You can also try to program a server program or so there are lot's of interesting projekts

One of my favorite things to do is make a guess the number program where you and the computer take turns guessing a random number or maybe your could try something like Hangman or a word jumble program.

Or a bit 3d graphic programming maybe opengl or direct x games

I always have trouble with this too.

But what i try to do is to see if theres any kind off program I'm missing or would be interested in. It could even be something already made that you want to make yourselve to get to tinker with it. This way i get more enthusiasm in making it good and actually finish it.

For example I recently made a typing program to help me increase my wpm.

Well if your going to try 3D games I would try the XNA engine witch allows you to make Xbox360 and computer games but that sounds a little to advanced for you, so I would just make a simple program maybe like a notepad or a something.

Make a digital agenda, where you can hold your contacts and apointments, with a cool custom-made calendart to schedule stuff all day, rss feed, and optionaly, a mail client.
This will keep you busy for a while.

There is good book about programming architecture: Amazon.com: Head First Design Patterns (9780596007126): Elisabeth Freeman, Eric Freeman, Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra: Books
Examples are written in Java try write them in C#. You will lern 2 things at 1 time: Programming architecture and C#.

Cool thanks guys some of these idea's seem pretty interesting the digital agenda is neat i think i might try that. also making a notepad would be a pretty cool idea as well.

Try making something thats useful, something that other people might use. Being creative is half the fun.
