Ask HN: Suggestions for fun side projects
I'm getting bored since a few days. I have 2 more days full of free time, so I'm wondering if there's something someone wants me to make for them. Maybe something that'll be useful to me as well, and others in the community ?
- tacone 11y agoYou perhaps should give some hints on your field of expertise: webapps? phone apps? embedded programming? droids?

- Nib 11y agoI mean, I'm looking to learn, so, even if you give me a project which I don't know anything about, I'll be happier... Otherwise, I'm a competitive programmer(algorithms and stuff), but I did do web development a year or so back...
- akg_67 11y agoIf you know algorithms well, create a visual simulator for algorithms. Take a user input and then display the results from each step of algorithm visually to people who want to learn algorithm. Most algorithm books show the steps with boxes etc, build them dynamically and displays the changes user input goes through during each step.
