I've been bored for about a month or so and I need something to code. Anyone have any ideas?

Make a time zones converter for in-game usage!
Idea:
My idea of how it should look: 5EVCQ5J6 (pastebin)
EDIT: And of course; WITH COLORS!
Idea:
- 2 clocks.
- 2 lists of timezones (in a "front view from a watch" view).
- Click and scroll action to change the watches timezone.
- Way to change the time of one of the clocks (with highlights)
- A "switch"-button to quickly change the timezones with each other.
- You enter a time in the left clock.
- You scroll/set the watch to the timezone you prefer (left watch=from, right watch=to)
- The clock on the right will show you the new time!

Since today. But really, you should make an ASCII generator. That would be really awesome.

That's not a bad idea. I have seen that suggestion before, but I have yet to see anyone actually follow through on it. A project that can have turtles destroy the entire world just to make more of themselves….awesome.Make self-replicating turtles!!

@ unrielsalis: That ain't too original, is it? And also way to easy, would be done in max 30 min

I would also like to see this done… everyone is all talk no code :P/>That's not a bad idea. I have seen that suggestion before, but I have yet to see anyone actually follow through on it.

I think urielsalis was talking about autonomous turtle replication. As in having it mine the materials needed to not only make another turtle, but then have it program the turtle to make more turtles.@ unrielsalis: That ain't too original, is it? And also way to easy, would be done in max 30 min

I like the turtle replication idea. Sounds like it could end well for you and not for the server you test it on :P/>

I made one back in my dark ages of tekkit but I kinda cheated and used an energy condenser to turn all the dirt etc into the items I needed rather than discard them, it also required a fair amount of setup and the coding was messy. I would love to see a cleaner setup

Then it is TIME!
People have already had a lot of luck with the Turtle Challenge where you place a turtle in front of a tree and there it begins to fuel itself and find materials etc.
This needs to be done again. We've a lot of APIs available to us now to make it less core work.
If CC-Emu had Turtle support I'd do this right now! Unfortunately it would seem I must wait until I get home.

How about.. Sound!
Tekikit's bundled cables would be perfect, and an API for it would be cool.
Also an ASCII movie API, in addition to a colour one.
Oh, screw it, make a program that loads custom movies with sound optional!
Now we're talking challenge!

Instead of using RP2 cables, you should use a Misc.Peripherals iron note block. With that one you only need 1 to make any sound.
