I have to make a project in java in this semester. Any ideas???
Not too tough/nor too easy.. Can't decide any topic...

Make a calculator with full GUI and cool functions

meme generator :/

Brainfuck executor, but if too simple a version of Brainfuck with some tape cell used to comunicate with external OS

Some game. I like to use Slick2D for semester projects

@eisterman way out of my league right now

@arshijafri ???
It's very very simple, you need only a text file to be read with a Stream, an array of int, and a switch case

Make a "fork bomb" app.

A directory app of any of your department info

Here are a few which i think they are fun to develop.

1) Expenses Manager App. Few screens a database some nice reports bum done!
2) Text File indexer and it's interface to look for terms inside those files and return the matches. The algorithm to index the text files is fun and you can play a lot with the search algorithm. Only two screens but you have to think carefully the algorithms.

I +1 the brainfuck idea but make it a full gui so you can see what's going on

Turn around! Go back!

Make sokoban, I had to do it too, was quite amazing figuring out the deadlocks.

@hitchhiker42 i will do it with Python instead ^_^
