What would be a cool kick-ass C program to do?

Hey, I'm a high school student, and we're studying the basics of C. :D

But I studied waaaaay ahead and currently topping the class, because weirdly I've grown a love for the language.

We're going to do basic hands-on programming, and somewhere in the school year we'll need to do our own program. D:

Any ideas? Any help is very appreciated. :DD

I've always had a really hard time making a 'talking Grandma' program... that is, if you say anything to her that isn't all in all caps, she won't hear you. So she'll say something like, 'No, not since 1845!'. or some random number for the date. However, if you do say something in all caps, she will understand you and respond accordingly.

Sounds simple, but I could never figure out how to make it tell if the whole string is capitalized.

I'd say mess around with BGI (borland graphics interface) and make an 8bit game or something.

I am working on a software called UAC already for a year.
It is used to spy what people are doing on their computers.
You can spy them using the same computer the program is on or you can recieve what they do on completely other computer.Doesn't matter where it is located on this planet :D

And the best thing is that it is not detected by any antivirus programs and it works on Windows 98 or newer and also works great on old,weak and 15 years old systems. ^.^

Now THAT'S cool lol!:cool:

It should be finished within 2 or 3 months.

By the way don't expect to make a good program in just few lines of code lol.My UAC program right now has around 750 pages full of code which took me a year to write.


Good luck with the program you are planning to make.Whatever it will be. :good:



Cheers!

You're going to finish it, run it, and then your antivirus is going to block it... it's going to be a horrible experience :p

I made a post about the UAC program some time ago in which I clearly said that it CANNOT be detected by ANY antivirus programs. ;)
And yes I tested it many times ;)

It is because I used a complicated logic.I complicated it so much on purpose that even I barely understand it lol.

That sounds...ethical?

(And who measures code in /pages/? Measure in lines. ;) )


Almost every single line is long on all 700 pages.So it is a LOT of code lol.
Even if one page has only 20 lines (but it has a LOT more) it would still be a LOT of code.
You do the math if you want lol and I assure you you would be shocked how much code that is.And it's pretty complicated lol.It took me a year and a half to write it down.Hopefuly I will finish the project soon.


By the way...Doom 3 game rules baby!!! xD xD xD
Really it does lol!

Get some graphics. Use a grid display and the backtracking fill algoryhm to make that game, where you have many blocks, and if you click one, it there are more than 2 blocks of the same color, they dissappeared. I did that for fun, in c#.

Ditch C as quick as you can. As a working programmer, Object oriented programming is 95% of the market. And games are beautifully complex in object oriented.

I love object oriented programming :D

Until the antivirus companies figure out how to detect it and then update their programs to detect it... of course they're not going to detect it if you write it from scratch.

I did write it from stratch hehe :D.

And even if one day they even do make an update,I can always change the code logic and that's it.
But until they find out how to detect my program,it is going to be a looong time lol.So I do not worry about that right now since it is not detected at all.

Those programs which do the same thing like mine,but are detected my antivirus programs are not well written if you ask me.Because "spying" should really BE spying and not "spy and get discovered" lol.

Thank God with me that is not the case.I guess that's the reason why I lost a year and a half on that part of the code (and the rest of course).
In the next few weeks I should put a piracy protection if everything goes well.
