Hey everyone! I'm in search of a C# project that's manageable, engaging, and allows me to finish it successfully. I have a decent understanding of Classes, Functions, and some algorithms like A* and DFS, but I've often tackled projects that were way above my skill level, which led to me losing interest quickly.
Currently, I'm interested in areas like graphics programming and shaders, but I recognize those are a bit too complex for me right now. I've also tried simpler projects like a To-Do app, but I found myself losing motivation fast.
I struggle with maintaining interest when I hit a roadblock and have to pause for research and problem-solving—it can really slow down my momentum. Has anyone else felt this way? If you have ideas for projects or tips, I'd really appreciate it!

How about creating a simple Naughts and Crosses (Tic Tac Toe) game? You can implement both a one-player and two-player mode in the console. It’s easy to build and can be a blast to play with friends!
Why not look for real-life problems you face and solve them? Things like a fitness tracker or a habit tracker could be useful. Just consider your own daily challenges and create something that addresses them!
Keep in mind that any project will start to feel boring after a while. A lot of personal projects require discipline to finish. It's normal! You could check out Microsoft Learn for free resources and projects that can help build your skills in C# too.
Thanks, that sounds really helpful!
You might need to push through the 'boring' parts to improve your skills. Start with small, simple projects to build your confidence—think of it like training for a marathon! You can't leap from zero to expert overnight.
I get that, but I really want a project that's fun. I've been searching for weeks and haven't found anything.
You might want to try coding a Sudoku solver or generating a jigsaw puzzle solver. These projects can be interesting and provide challenges without being overwhelming. Also, challenging yourself with some LeetCode problems could be good practice!
I tried that, but I'm still looking for something really fun to work on.
