General

• Inspiration!
• Bit twiddling hacks
• Interesting programming languages
• Christopher Alexander's Design Patterns
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-instruction_set_computer

Project Ideas

• script that calls pd noise patch, generates artwork and posts to bandcamp or another file sharing service via selenium
• write some RTS demo sketches
  • https://sandruski.github.io/RTS-Group-Movement/
  • Nav meshes
  • Boids
• write a time clock web app and keep exact totals for freelance work
• write a stack machine
• stack overflow comments sentiment analyzer
• make an IR->spim runner in node/mips compiler + host on heroku
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic-tac-toe_variants
• write an app that scrapes recent posts by favorite SO users
• Challenge/project idea lists:

  • https://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/78802-martyr2s-mega-project-ideas-list/
• Look for projects at Rosetta Code
• "Programming by Doing" simple projects for students
• Organize mp3s: beets.io and https://www.discogs.com/developers/
• The Logo Foundation
• NetLogo
• write a non-acct twitter (or SO) client that can fav and show imgs like birdfeed without having an account.
• write a sandboxed compiler+code runner
• write a winamp plugin that broadcasts now playing to node API on glitch
  • http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/Beginner%27s_Basic_Plugin_Guide
  • http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=224914

  • https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=850451
• Voice/video chat or stream with WebRTC
• Tiger to JS transpiler
• Google Docs but all vim/markdown. Could add multiplayer multicolor text editor/highlighter. Could be a good edutech project.

Project Euler

• Next to solve: 189, 244
• #93 Sudoku can also be solved using Integer Linear Programming
• #84 Monopoly is one of the best. Worth solving using both simulation (I used first-class functions) and stochastic matrix (I used numpy). Working out the initial probabilities for the stochastic matrix requires only basic probability, but it's tricky.
• Euler's totient function

Algorithms

• Princeton Algorithms
• Stanford CS Education Library

DP

• Coin change
• Maximum subarray problem (Kadane's algorithm)
• Box stacking problem (and other DP problems)
• DP text justify
• DP coin change
• MIT open courseware DP lecture
• Algs/DP
• The "correct change" problem looks like it's equivalent to the "subset sum" problem, which is a special case of the knapsack problem. Wikipedia says these are all NP, but efficiency can be improved by dynamic programming. That's why I'm thinking a transposition table may help.
• Sum numbers in a list
• Knapsack problem
