Does anybody have ideas for programming projects in C language?

Question

We have been given an end of semester project in our university for creating a project using the skills learned in C language.
The topics we've learned so far include loops, conditions, arrays, strings, pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
Using only the skills learned, i know nothing pretty can be created so i wanted to ask wheather anyone had any ideas about projects i can create with knowledge of the abovementioned skills as well as any additional topics if required.
For example, i have been considering the use of graphics in this project but its implementation seems intimidating to me. Hopefully, i dont require in depth knowledge of the use of graphics in C so could anyone also help explain what aspects of the graphics do i need to learn that wont be tough to implement along with the abovementioned topics and at the same time boost the quality of my project.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

If you want to exclude graphics then you can make game like Tic-tac-toe or if you want to include graphics then try making a simple snake game or any other game that find easy to code. Well you can also make Tic-tac-toe with graphics.
I think these mini-projects will use each of the topic you mentioned above

SFML now has C (and others) bindings. It's easier than SDL. Write a 2D game like a space shooter or snake. It'll prep you for all the basics:
*. Graphics/sound
*. I/O (save games)
*. Game Theory (logic)
*. Software Design. You'll make a royal mess your first program, we all do, but you'll learn so much hands-on.
*. AI (yes, AI existed before C, it's just "trending" -- hate that word -- today).
*. Building: compiling, linking, custom scripts. SFML works best without an IDE (everything's easier with no IDE, but a good editor is always useful). Writing a shell script to build your project (you don't need to use make) is great too. You get a real handle on things.

Answer 5

As for libraries you can use, I would recommend OpenGL. However, if this is too hard, GTK+ is a good option.
As for examples to make, I recommend having a look at this website https://edabit.com/challenges/python3 Hope this helps!
EDIT: Just realized that website doesn't include C! However, these are still good challenges, you just won't be able to code them on the actual website. :D
