Hey everyone! I just finished my first semester studying Computer Science, where I learned the basics of C++, including loops, memory management, matrices, and structs. I'm eager to build some portfolio-worthy projects to help me learn and showcase my skills. I want to work on fun and interesting projects, but I'm not sure where to start. Any cool ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What have you created so far? Understanding your interests can help refine project ideas. If you haven't done much beyond your assignments, that's totally fine! If you're into games, you could try making a simple one, like a snake game. It's a classic and a great way to dive deeper into C++. Let me know what you think!
A great approach is to create something that solves a problem you encounter or build something you wish existed. For example, how about a bot that automatically answers people asking for project ideas like this one? Building it would give you hands-on experience with network programming, plus you could deploy it online!
That's a good point! I haven’t really built anything impressive besides assignments. I'm interested in games, so a snake game sounds fun, but I'm still figuring out what C++ can fully do. Any more suggestions?
