I'm bored, and feel like coding some C++, any ideas?

Give me some ideas for a cool program to work on in my free time. Preferably something that would not require a GUI, and less then 2000 lines. Maybe something where I could make my own class? I wanna refresh my brain on some syntax..... suggestions anyone???





Thanks!

Admittedly, not syntax-related, but refreshing for your brain all the same.

In case you need to eventually replace two INI files in some directory, or etc.


File replacers with a memory\bookmarking would be nice too.

Since its similar to C++ shouldn't be too hard. Took me maybe 2 hours, its not to long and has 3 classes. I didnt include betting though, just a dice, two players and an array to hold and display scores.
Reply:do you like foreign languages, if you do like it you can go on line and learn more about the foreign languages you want to know or you can go on line and find something interesting that you want to know more about , maybe you want to know more about a particular country , or if you want also you can go to a public library and take some books to read that is what i do all the time when am bored, so i hope you will like it
