Script something that checks if the subject line of an email says "help" and if there are no specifics in the body of the email, randomly generate a reply just as worthless and auto-send it back.

I've been meaning to learn C#... If the project is interesting enough you may convince me

simple game, e.g. tictactoe

make a game. It is always the best way to pratice coding. I mean you have to code GUI, animation, logic and such. In short, it touch upon all the things that require you to use smart code design and oop concepts.

He wants to make something that controls the rgb light in a pc. Hope you enjoy reading German because his code is commented in German only.

[DtrollMC]

None of those things seem too interesting to me lol

I've been working on a simple guilib in the meantime

well im trying to unify a lot of the available oem rgb software.

you know how every brand has their own shitty software tool for controlling the lights on their mainboards, keyboards, gpus, mice, and whatever? i just found out logitech now even makes rgb speakers -.-

well most of them have sdk's or api's so im trying to combine them

but since i  just started its basically just a gui shell right now.

cour welcome to at least clone the repo and check out the code maybe thats somewhat interesting for you?

You're not going to use many programming paradigms that you'll think wow that was useful and remember it in an hour project imo. Usually the benefits show in projects that are bigger. I made a quick ping script in PowerShell earlier today (because my internet is crappy and I want to show it to my ISP), maybe you can do that in Java? It shouldn't take you too long, probably longer than an hour but I think you'd learn from doing this. In the spoiler below I've got the steps you'd need to do to make it. 

Spoiler

This doesn't include any OOP programming paradigms in it because I wrote it in scripting language but looking at the steps you can make 3 objects & have a few methods.

1. Create a CSV

2. In the first line sets the text to (without quotes) "SEP=;", this sets the CSV delimiter to ; instead of tab

3. Insert the headers (in my case it was (without quotes) "Date;Time;Latency (ms);Log")

4. Create a name for the file, mines was month_day hour_minute ping export.csv

5. Dynamically get the current directory

6. save the file using the info from steps 4 & 5

7. Typical try catch block with some basic logging

8. infinite while loop

9. ping googles public DNS which is 8.8.8.8. Use this one otherwise it may be illegal.

10. if ping is greater than 100 then log. if ping request returns no data then log

11. update log

12. done

Let me know if you decide to do it & if so how you get on with it.

It’s better if he doesn’t. Either they SHOULD be checking them all anyway to see where students are or they’re an incompetent programming teacher that should still be checking them anyway.

I have no idea what you just said.If I understood you right, students' progress should be checked to see if they have any trouble, all of our computers are connected to teacher's computer and we use software that can interact with the entire group (lock computers, check screens etc...).

I thought you meant the teacher could just have the program see if the assignment was completed then not grade it.

Write a raytracer in 150 lines of code. 

Output shall be a file with 500x500 pixel bmp and a 2 raytraced reflecting spheres on a tiled floor.

 

Have fun

I did that one a few days ago! Took me 2 hours instead of one hour so I don't think it fit's the thread category, unfortunately.
