I really have no idea what to make, but I really want to code something. Please help me out. Have you tried http://projecteuler.net/? or is that not what direction you wanted to go?

dr0p Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not really, those are just math problems really :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cooper Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not really, those are just math problems really :/ Everything is a maths problem in the end though. Is the goal to learn how to program by coding something or can you already code and just want to code something? If the first then pick something small that you can expand on, perhaps a reverse DNS scanner (it does reverse DNS lookups on an IP range).

dr0p Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I can code, just need an idea of something to code for both practice and fun. Also, preferably something that's not reinventing the wheel such as a reverse DNS lookup tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 well, then you can try to contribute to an open source project; should be simple, if you can think of something that you didn't like with a particular piece of software and make it better; the problem would be that you'd need to understand other related code; but that all depends; need suggestions of open source projects ? any language preferred ?

dr0p Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Again, that would require me to come up with an idea of something to add to a project xD I'm idea-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 how about you code a small md5 has MySQl table which has its contents generated from words that are found from web pages on google. While searching google with dictionarys from different country's? That would take a little while, then leave it going and you can chuck md5's at it and see if you any matches.

dr0p Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Not a bad idea, but it would be reinventing the wheel :/ I'm trying to avoid reinventing the wheel. Thanks though. Still looking for ideas. Edited March 24, 2011 by dr0p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
