    hey,

    I gotta do a school project with Eclipse using only C. I cant use Java or C++... so I really don't have a good idea to work on (yes - ima noob)... i was thinking in making a simple game, but it looks like it uses Java.

    Any suggestions? btw, the 3 best class projects gets an automatic A+ for the whole semester.

    thanks :)

    Make a game then. If you have knowledge in C++ or even Java C shouldn't be a problem. For me, C is much simpler than C++ or Java, however you have to write some basic functionality (such as looping through things like arrays) yourself.

    allowed to use libraries? if you want to make a graphical game and can use a library, libsdl is quite nice for 2d graphics (i wouldn't go 3d. maybe a simple angry birds clone or something like that).

    your project depends a bit on what libraries you're allowed to use. if you can just plot stuff on the commandline (printf, scanf), then, well, good luck writing something cool.

    C might not look jazzy... but believe it is powerful... All you need is to do your homework (a.k.a reading through the world of google) and come up with an idea. Again... 3rd party libraries are your friend. Just be careful about the portability part of it (easier said than done)
