    it would be indeed, I hate programming for fun, I need a project to work on (someone elses idea, not my own) or else I never feel like completing it

    I have a challenge for you...

    1. Write your own MP3 decompression code and optimize it.
    2. Write your own program to give you the correct value of Pi to the nth decimal place.
    3. Write an innovative AI to simulate a prostitute and interface it with FUFME.
    4. Take Project64 and make Banjo Tooie work.

    Any more ideas needed ?
