I know just what you mean!
Here are some ideas for you
1. Video shop database/booking system.
** A database can be just a bunch of flat text files.
2. Sorting routines.
** Try to write a sort routine that can handle any size of file.
Use temporary files to store intermediate results.
3. Experiment with simple screen displays.
e.g. write a menu program that use (by file or command line) a list of options and will return the selected option.
4. A mail merge program.
5. Try to emulate some Unix commands e.g. grep, ls, find
6. If you can manipulate graphics try writing a program that generates a tiled map of terrain.
** Try to make the map a realistic a possible. Keep it in as small amount of memory as possible. Allow the user to scroll about the map using cursor keys.
These are just a few ideas of the top of my head. I promise you that at when I was learning how to program I have written these programs for myself.
It is good that you are willing to take on programming. Remember the only way to get good is to pratice.
Regards
MBB
