Looking for an advanced programming project

[AlTech]

Hi guys,

 

I had a conversations with my dad which made me think.

 

I'm basically looking for a project idea which is at least somewhat advanced.

 

I'm already familiar with C# and somewhat familiar with Java. I could learn Python or C++.

 

What advanced project do you think I should do?

 

Thanks guys .

a FTP client for iOS that runs on 9.3.3, and i can view photos and videos and stuff like that

What type of application do you want to make?

 

Machine learning can be quite challenging.

I haven't played around with Networking too much.

Also I'm not able to test on IOS devices or use a mac for Xcode.  I'm not familiar with Objective C or Swift.

hackintosh / use your cross platform coding app thing that you found

 

also ill test lol, since ill be using it, guaranteed if its good.

Probably looking something a little less challenging than machine learning.

 

Here's the scope of what i've done so far:

• Discord Bot using JS
• A benchmarking program - I have no idea how simple people consider this
• A Specs Detection program - I abandoned this
• A basic chat bot
• A C# Library with a bunch of random stuff
• A web project which gets information from YouTube and formats it
• A pretty basic UWP app

1. you kicked him out of your server

2. give me that GUI so i can rebenchmark a i5 7200u

3. specboss, you know how bad it was, couldn't even detect the proper amount of ram, cpu, or my C drive capacity

4. ? you mean 1?

5. eecks dee

6. you mean coretech web?

7. project coretech

You're confused.

 

The bot I made is Called "AluminiumClubBot" or "AluminumBot" for short.

Coming when I can make my C# benchmark more portable. 

 

The problem is that the way Multi-Threading is implemented in this version doesn't work in Xamarin or UWP.

RAM detection was eventually fixed.

 

CPU detection was also fixed.

 

But it was a bad program lol.

Yes.

Yes

Yes.

Yes

yes, and you kicked him out of the server i think, either that or hes offline forever.

Find something you may need, but doesn't run on your pc, reverse-engineer it or fix it if you have the source-code.

I did that a few times after I slightly broke my ubuntu-install, it gives me a purpose to actually program things.

Rip. I didn't get a notification for this.

Make a media player that plays local media but also has the option to search for music and then implements youtube/spotify/soundcloud and other online music sources for the music.

'Advanced' is a relative term. When this question comes up I like to suggest a rather simple premise; start with something very basic, uncomplicated, and above all else easy. Once you have that then layer on the complexity as a series of clear, concise and separate concerns. It lends itself well to an easy win, positive sense of fulfilment/accomplishment ethos which also makes it great for kids too. An example of this that I like to use is the Matching Squares game:

1. Start with the basic and simple implementation of the game:
   • Consider the architecture and concerns
   • Separate these out into an appropriate design pattern or combination of patterns
   • While paying particular attention to opportunities for context specific design patterns i.e. game design patterns in this case
   • Make it simple but make it well
     • Carefully adhere to good engineering and design principals
2. Add some animation
3. Add some sound
4. Make the thing use more than one spacial dimension i.e. tasteful 3D or quasi 2D/3D
5. Add some difficulty levels
   • Maybe consider a sandbox option i.e. create one's own board and all of the paraphernalia underpinning that concept
6. Add a score tracking system
7. Move the implementation online and multi platform
   • Implement LAN play
   • And extend this to a WAN implementation
   • Chat
   • VoIP
   • Lobbies
   • General communications protocols and packet handling
   • Is the cloud a good fit?
   • Client server topology
   • Scaling
   • Security
   • Accounts and profiles
8. Do you want to make a website for it?
   • With forums
9. At this sort of point you may realise that you've just gone done built a game so maybe it's time to be thinking about platform involvement such as Steam for example 
   • Community/official 'map' sharing
   • Download Content (DLC):
     • Some kind of supporting API
     • Bonus packs
     • Expansions
     • Micro transactions
10. £££££ Profit!

Just some rough idea outlines; one can really run away with things, doing as little or as much as they may choose... And of course this can apply to any kind of game idea that one may like.

 

Another one that I like is the ASCII Renderer:

1. Take any static image and turn it into an ASCII representation
2. Add scaling options
3. Add character choices
4. Add some colour settings
5. Make it deal with other image formats such as GIF with animation
6. Extend it to deal with video
7. Move the implementation online

I did this particular project quite recently while I was laying on my back recovering between surgeries. It was a nice short distraction from the agony that I was in at the time.
