Default Need project idea

Hi all,
I by no means am an expert, or even good programmer. I need an idea as a summer project to do in a VB-like language

Here is an example of a program I wrote this year

Quiz Bowl

No, I develop for mac and windows, so I use what's called Kbasic (www.KBasic.com • Index page) it allows you to write the code once, and bring the code to a mac, and compile it there with very few code changes

Nice. How about:

~ a prime number generator.
~ an RSS reader.
~ a password generator.
~ a hotel management system.

A encryption/decryption program.
Make it so you can encrypt or decrypt a file, or a just a string.
Make multiple algorithms, even if they are only slightly different.

Again, I am not by any means an advanced programmer. I would have no idea how to do that (Encryptor/Decryptor)

Xav, all good ideas, but I want one that I could work on as a summer project. Those could (If I really wanted to) be finished in a day (Except RSS and hotel)

That is not an advanced skill, besides you do want to learn right?
What is the point of a "project" if you learn nothing.

All of Xav's ideas are easily done in minutes.
When you said "Summer Projects" I assumed you meant something you could work on and optimize all summer. Easy projects like that can be found with google.

I could very easily find an algorithm in minutes that would do that, (seeing as I do not fully understand algorithms) on google

Yes you could, the point is to learn.
Not hone your google skills.

The encryption scheme doesn't have to be anything advanced.
