Hello,
I need ideas to make a C project.
For those who would like to know why:
About me: I'm a 16 year old from kid from Israel who majors electronics therefore studying the C language.
I have recieved a task- to make a C program (As useful and entertaining as a program can be) with no less than 150 command lines.
My problem is: I have no idea what project will be about.
So I looked for a C program forum and Viola I found this one.

For those who just help
Will you send me a few ideas, not too complicated though, my knowledge in
C is reasonable enough ++.

Thanks in advance

Write a program to:

Solve a system of simultaneous equations
Integrate a function using Simpson's Rule
Print the truth table for an arbitrary Boolean expression (typed in)
or write a recursive descent parser

Write a program to aid in solving various equations useful in your other electronics courses. As you go through school you can update the program with additional equations.

In 150 lines?

Provided you don't get into partial differential equations, the Newton Raphson method would be as good as any.

I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood me,
I'm kind of new to C, not that knewm I know sound, graphics and all the normal commands but I can't make programs who record. Yet.
About the lines, not up to 150 lines, but MINIMUM 150 lines.
Now that we're clear about that let's clear a few other subjects.

I've already made a program to solve my physics home work, which is quite usefull, but that program and the equations program are just too simple.
It includes a couple of switches, function calling and much writing (over 400 lines for certain), however, it includes nothing fancy and complicated like sound or graphics in it. I need something impressive so I thought of an idea.

I'm going to make a program which is similar to an old game of mine, I'm sure you're farmiliar with it.

Do you know the game which chooses a random color and you have to mimik the machine.
e.g. the machine chose RED, therefore you choose RED as well.
now your on "level 2", the program will choose RED, GREEN, the user will have to follow RED, followed by GREEN.
If the user got the answer right the program adds another color.
If the user got the answer wrong he starts over, or exits program.
I'm making this program right now. I've already drawn the basic shape.
with each random color the program chooses a sound will be made (according to the color).

I'd say its cute, a little sofisticated, and quite entertaining, isn't it?


Thank you for trying to help me, if you guys will find a better idea, or ideas how to improve it, post it I'll keep watching this forum.

Just a question... You're new to C, but you know how to implement graphics and sound? What programming languages do you already know then?

A simple answer: None.
But I have an answer that could simplify the fact that I'm new to C and I know graphics and sounds.
I'm a "One Time kid", by that I mean when I see something or hear something, one time is enough for me to understand.
I got my nickname from my father when I was a kid, cause I learned everything so fast.

I've found programming quite easy to handle.
In the near future I will learn more programming languages.

Then learn the language first. After that learn the advance techniques. Knowing how to fly does not help you walk. And you can't even walk yet, programatically.

Look at it from this standpoint. You just got your first bike. Are you immediately going to try extreme BMX tricks? Or are you going to learn not to fall off it first?
