I need an idea!

[RandomPscho]

I need an idea to practice programming, but I don't know what to make.

Ideas please! This will be made in Java and I will probably convert to c++. Can't be too hard like a full fledged media player, but something small yet challenging for a beginner.

A calculator?

How about a random sentence generator.

How about a basic DDR game.

That is WAY over my head.

If you think about it, there is basically graphic output, key input, and some code dealing with timing. It sounds complicated at first, but it's really not. Maybe better for a second or third project though.

I don't know ho to do graphics at all. Nor do I know how to deal with unspecified user input, I mean like not storing it into a variable. My computer science book doesn't cover graphics beyond its own drawing box [which is terrible].
