Your project ideas are great. I was thinking (and I don't know if these
are good ideas or not) of the following.
* A game -- specifically, I used to play a game called Scorch (you launch
missiles in a parabolic trajectory at your opponents). When I got my
Pentium 166, it was impossible to play because it went too fast, and you
were not allowed to enter by hand your trajectory. I think we could do a
really great version of this game (a lot of creativity can go into the
weapons).
* How about a CD player for a computer. There is a lot of opportunity
for a great program here, the only problem is that a lot of them already
exist.
* Or maybe a utility to generate equations to be pasted in a word
document.
Let me know what you think.
