Like the title says. the problem is that we haven't even started learning java and they expect us to come up with ideas before the school year starts.

I have no idea what i want to do so I'm open to anything. anything. except games.

Does it have to be UI or just logic based. If UI based then maybe some sort of windows pc game launcher. If logic based then maybe like a music sorter or analyzer. Just do a porject on something that is currently not offered but you would find useful.

Well, Java is versatile enough such that you don't need to know the language to be able to come up with a decent idea for a project.

Relax. Just think of a tool you'd like to have.

well the music sorter coul look for songs with similiar names, artists, albums, tiles and sort and delete copies as necessary. Or you could make a launcher type program for an emulator (frontend).

Last year in our class we recreated Windows Calculator with Java. If you can't think of anything else, I think it would be a good project for you.

MIDI Synthesizer? But if ur looking for something "simple" the calc is quite nice. Or some simple GUI for a sudoku Game? ah ups thats a game...

Dude! Sudoku solver! I made one for class but my teach dident like it, even though it works perfectly. That requires logic and stuff. I did it becasue I was getting into the puzzles. Find something that you like and see if you can make something that would help you out.

You could also build a simple "lights out" puzzle solver. I did a few times when I had a couple of annoying games that had that as a mini-game (Black & White (1 & 2), NWN, etc). Built a program to try millions of random moves per second, gave it a move limit (say, solve it in 10 moves), and gave me the solution.
