/προγ/, give me some ideas for little projects to self-teach meself programming.
Like, I'm learning a new language and want to write something useful in it to get a feel for it, but can't come up with an app that would be simultaneously nontrivial and writable in 1-2 days by one person.

It would be pretty stupid to choose a problem to fit a language instead of the other way around. No, I need an idea for an app to gauge the language and my skills with it.
A calculator is a no-brainer, an XML API is tedious and unhelpful, and writing an cloud AI crypto database backend is too much.

has some nice problems. They're a little mathy and won't teach you exciting ENTERPRISE STANDARDS in the UI department, but they'll give you a pretty good grip of performance once you get into the mid-20s.

If you know some graphics programming, i always find it fun to draw fractals, chart NDEs, or simulate some physical interaction. Basically, something involving a lot function call per frame so i can benchmark my shit more easily.
