Need a simple project

Cirdan · 2006-09-09 05:41:04

Well, any ideas of something I can code? Preferably something easy enough that I won't discouraged but good enough that I can maby expand on it. Any ideas?

I know and am most comfortable with C++

Hello.

I'm curently working on a game project with some other developers, we started not so long ago, I think it's quite simple and very enjoyable to code. Since it'a a free software project I think I can link it here, please tell me if I'm doing wrong; check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/last-online for more informations, or contact me (see profile).

In case you are interested, you said you are comfortable with C++, do you mind if I ask you how comfortable you are ? I mean, could you please quantify your experience? (months, years? ).

Thank you.

Write me a Yahtzee game. I started one ages ago but gave up (I wrote the engine, but I have no experience with writing SDL interfaces (which is what I wanted) so scrapped it).

Lasto Online is a free and open-sourced MMORPG game. It consists in two main modules, a server and a client to play with. It is inspired by Ultima Online game but tries to implements a new gameplay and a better gaming experience.

I meant the current status of advancement is simple enough for someone to join

The problem with outlining my experience is, I've spent quite a while learning programming, many different languages etc. So I understand how programming works, I've just failed to program anything. I've started projects that most of the time were over my head. Such as a MMORPG. I did start a TicTacToe game with NCurses, maby I'll just work on that.

ehehe, nevermind, good luck to you

January's coding challenge is a good place to start. You said you've learned but haven't programmed? Don't get ahead of yourself then - Its hard to pull it all together. Experience counts 10x as much as knownledge in ANY case.

write some PKGBUILDs !

tardo · 2006-11-08 15:38:32

I think we have enough PKBUILDs, we need more maintainers/bug squashers

btw, what is this January's code challenge that you speaketh of?

Kinda came and went too quickly - Also, no one entered save one man, who wins by defualt. However, the challenge remains, and it's a wonderful one: It can be as simple or as complex as you want. Gives you wiggle room, proactic room, and growth room.
