Final Project Ideas

[rav3n]

I need some help coming up with an idea for a final project for ICS4M (Gr 12). We learned C++, and we know classes, streams, some sorting methods, arrays, vectors, matrices, and I also kinda know linked lists, and pointers, and could easily brush up on those concepts. I need an idea for a final project that ISN'T a game. Any suggestions?
Btw, I will be doing this all by myself.

A file compressor, encryption program or checksum generator maybe? You could use classes to represent different algorithms and use virtual base classes as interfaces.

You could make a program that trys to sort and orgianzie peoleops hard drivers, removes duplicate files (that are not system crtical) and shows a visual repseation of hard drive useage.

You could make an IRC Client or Bot.

An e-mail clinet, a SQL client, ssh clinet, telnet clinet, ftp clinet, a web broswer a web siper or bot.

Make your own IM, chat or file transfer system.

Make an image editing program, a screen captor and/or screen cast program, make a media player, your own IDE, ect....

I have looked into sockets, but they seem very hard and confusing! For an SQL client, what exactly do you mean by that?

try googling it. As the interwebz states JFGI

What was that all about?

Anyone got ideas for a C++ final project that's not a game, and preferably not network related?

Well we have already given you a bunch of ideas, maybe if you where more specific about what you want to do/make and your programming abllitys?

Some more ideas:

A calacualtor (console based) or graphing calcaulator (image/visual absed).

A program that can pass or trys to pass the turing test: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

File converts, a program that converts one file type to another.

Some kind of disk space visualizer or listing of what files take up the most space on the disk.
