|

| Some of us programmers are bored, and we need ideas. The thing is, syntax has overwritten the creative side of my brain. So i need help thinking of a nice c++ challange to continue my learning of the language. Thanks. |

Do you know OpenGL? If not, why not learn it? Then you could make some pretty good graphics things. Or make a program that encrypts files, or better yet, compresses files. I'm not that creative either, but you can probably do a lot of good stuff with OpenGL. If you know it, make a short animated movie, or better yet, a game  .
Hope to see some of these amazing creations soon! |

I think i should mention c++ isn't exactly my strongest language. That is a little out of my league....for now. |

topcoder uses some "structs" and some other "public" things that just fly over my head. Have to make classes in order to debug a progam  |

y not try topcoder, wtd? an hour per week surely is an easy commitment? and you'll get to code in a situation that you dont need to worry about indenting and spaces and variable names  and you get to see how horrible other's coding styles are (if you thought mine was bad...). and zylum, dont get too excited Its usually just u and me. my rating is dropping pretty bad these days though. although its not an entirely a bad idea if I keep my rating low and so when it comes to TCO i can get an easy room for the first few rounds and earn some $$$ |

lol you think your rating is bad? i've only been in div 1 for one srm where i score like 150 points or something and now im back in div 2!!
anyhoo, i dont think wtd would be very good at topcoder. hes more of the "look at my awesome coding style" and "i know the syntax to 20 different laguages" kind of programmer... we're more into the algorithms aspects of programming  |

The problem is that you think it's a burden to think about this stuff. I like coding like that. I like to take my time, and get it right. Trying to code fast holds very little appeal for me.

| speed is an issume... but with speed alone wont get you far in the competition. Does solving difficult challenges in a set time frame against the best programmers in the world sounds appealing to you? |
