I'm not entirely new to C++, but I need 'general' help...

Instead of reading dry manuals and the like, I want to improve my skills by practising on simple programs. So my question to you is: do you have any challenges for me, or other fairly new programmers, to improve our skills?

Not Olympiad algorithims/Next Half-life/Another Office Suite, but simple stuff, like...well that's the problem, I can't think of many :) So go for it!

Weird question. I can't tell you what YOU would like to do.

Do you want to go into 3d stuff, database stuff, small utility-tool kinda thingies, administrative applications, games, inter-computer communication, mathematical tools, stock chart analysis, textparsing, GUI fiddeling, etc?

Pick somehting that interest you and work somthing out.

I understand that it sounds pretty strange, so I'll tell you what I'm interested in.

I want to model protein structures (three dimensions), which is fairly ambitious for someone who has only programmed in C++ for 2 weeks...

So I decided not to say, &quot;How can I represent 3d electron distribution fields in C++&quot;, which would get a terrible response.

I want to work on my programming abilities seperately to begin with, and considering that I'd be hardpressed to represent anything in 2D unless it was an ASCII graphics console app, I thought this would be a good start.

I'm sorry if this has no place in the forum. :$
