So I've just begun taking CompSci, and my teacher gives out extra credit if we do extra projects. I'm not the most creative person, so does anyone have ideas on good projects for Java beginners? When I say 'easy', I don't necessarily mean that they take little effort, but that they would be feasible for someone with limited experience working in Java.
A standard beginner project is a to-do list app, or else you could create some kind of flash card thing to quiz yourself for different classes.
Aaah I love this thread! I'm also taking a computer programming class this year, and the idea of a side project sounds neat! Would you be more interested in something more functional (homework planner, schedule help, etc.) or something more game oriented (snake, pong, art programs etc.)?
Maybe try integrating some old famous algorithm into practical use (huffman coding, bubble sorting, ...) teachers love that kinda stuff even though they aren't the most fun to do
