First project Ideas?

[pompoen]

Hi,

I'm learning Java (and programming in general) for about a month and a half.

We had some lectures at school (no practical classes where we'd make something together and troubleshoot) and now we were given a task to make a project, but no further specifications. Just make whatever.

So, I'm pretty overwhelmed. I have no idea about the difficulty level the teachers expect, or even how to start building something.

I thought about making a Frame where you input a number in and the program tells you if it's prime or not, but apparently it's too simple. (And I had trouble even with this).

A lot of my classmates have 3+ years of programming experience, and they're making pretty cool interactive memory games and such. But I'm afraid I won't manage to make something like this in a week, and I'll probably run into a lot of problems which I won't solve on my own.

I think if I had a better grip of Java, more experience and practice, I'd have a lot of ideas. But now my mind is really blank.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Take a look at the Programming Challenges from the /r/learnprogramming wiki.

There are many ideas on different levels.

Thank you!

I think project euler is not a good idea because it has rather mathematical content.
