He can write a new linux distro.

Or, if he takes on too many projects he may never get passed the stage of talking about them.

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
He can never be a bumpkin.
Another interesting programming problem is gAr's latest probability problem.

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
I'm pretty sure that he did not mean a math problem.
He can become a philosopher

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
He can.
There are no such thing as a math problem that is also not a programming problem. The simulation is a challenging programming task and is a very useful skill to acquire.

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
There are no such thing as a math problem that is also not a programming problem.
But there can be programming problems which are not math problems or atleast not hardcore math problems.

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
When you are programming them you do not notice the problem being mathematical. You just are a writing a program. A programmer should know how to simulate.

A program could certainly write lyrics that are superior to those written by that Gangrene guy.

Re: sugest some project ideas....to have fun time with programming
Here's a program that writes out most of the lyrics of an older popular song:
Do[Print["Na"], {56}]Here lies the reader who will never open this book. He is forever dead.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
