Ideas for programs

Hello,

Lately I am in a programming mood but I dont know what to make. Any Ideas for a program?
(I would say im an avarage programmer)

Thanks,

Engineer

Note: Please only leave suggestions.

Make Mario! :D/>

I'm already making it :P/> Here's the post if you want to help : http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/10498-new-kind-of-game-need-help-with-graphics/page__pid__87704#entry87704

Already done search on the program subforum :)/>

Why don't you make a program which controls a factory or something.

Do you really need to kill everything?

If I do that it's to avoid to have a program twice and all the problem that comes along (copyright, credits etc etc) Not to be a dick about every idea… and this doesn't him I just let him know. And so lieudusty can use it :)/>

A couple things I would be working on if I had an ios cc emu:

A file compressor (using a proper algorithm, not just replacing 'print(' with '@pr' or the like)
A secure software distribution system (you can buy a program and it will only run on one computer)
A self-propagating, self-defending, self-aware mining turtle swarm.

I am very interested in your factory idea. But now I need a factory. What does the factory make?:P/>

If you make ever the secure software distrisbution could pm me (if you remember) because I really want to see how you could do that :P/>

My understanding is that its not possible to be 100% secure (unless you run a rootkit on boot…), since the only difference between computers is id, and os.getComputerID can be overridden…

I came close by encrypting the program using a hash of the program that runs it and the id as a key, but the user could easily get that key the same way I do… (Copy the decryptor, change loadstring to file:write, and point it at the old file.) I did obfuscate it to make that harder though.

That's why I ask you to pm me, because everyone think this is impossible here so if you make it, I want to know how :P/>

I have made a compressor and i am working on loading and creating zip filees

this is IMPOSSIBLE in any languaj ex: ITunes, jailbreak your ipod and then you can copy and redistribute paid apps

to make that secure..thats really easy xD ( not to be the master ) it is just downloaded by 1 computer.. then the computer would send a script to a server, which closes the income and outcome scripts, so no other computers does have any access to the code… (also if you copy the program it would easy just be told to delete it.)

Sorry for cutting you down :P/>

How about a spreadsheet?
Not too hard, I haven't really seen any.. Make it!

1. Your compressor enlarges files rather than compressing them.

2. Don't jailbreak your iPod. You are no longer able to download updates, so in a few years when the rest of the world is launching rockets from their phones, you'll still be hyped up about Siri.

Why don't you make 2D Slender =)
