Suggestions
- The project should be:
- of real value, such as:
- Fun things: Games, animations
- Useful things: Simulations,
editors, scientific visualizations
- Resume items: Novel Web service
- substantial
- approximately 5K - 10K lines of code
- approximately 25 key concepts: the
idea is to have
many
classes,
so the object-oriented design and analysis is non-trivial.
There
is no need for the project to be algorithmically complex.
- intuitive user interface
- Choose something that:
- has many concepts (that map into classes), but that is
algorithmically
simple. The emphasis is on a clear object-oriented design
that is
as simple as it can be, given the complexity of the interacting
concepts
you are modeling.
- is extensible and collapsible.
- Open source contributions are great:
- Apache James (Java mail enterprise server): A spam filter
plug-in
- A new Ant task or set of related Ant tasks
- Ant script management GUI (including an undo capability)
- An Eclipse plug-in
- Here
is a list of project suggestions compiled, as far as I know, by Anurag
Acharya in the Spring quarter of 1998, which may have been modified by
Mike Costanzo.
- For netgames, I suggest that you look at 2 commercial sites
for
ideas
(simplifications
of these games, for example):
- Other applications of possible interest include:
- business/database
- media
- scientific
- engineering
- mathematical
- computer science
- Here is some brief project descriptions from Winter 2005
- Networked games
- 3D Networked Shooter
- Texas Hold'em Poker
- Casino, but different than other casinos
- Sim City style game
- 3D Space Game
- Monopoly Parody
- Service
- EJB based CDDB Server
- PIMP, the J2EE Personal Information Management Program
- GOLD Replacement
- DeC++ File Sharing Client
