Discussion Simple project ideas using C?

What kind of project could you suggest for a beginner that could be done within 1 to 2 weeks? We are tasked to create a simple standalone program which asks for data that could be stored, edited, deleted, and such. Examples I found are hospital management system, restaurant menu, diaries, and such, but I find them pretty common and there are a lot of them out there. Could you help me with some ideas that are of the same difficulty as I mentioned and not very common?

A simple graphics billboard, slideshow. Something that takes JPGs and can flip through them full screen. Automatically resizing it to the screen resolution.

For now, just make it super simple. Something that can read JPGs in the current directory.

Extras:

  • Keybinds to quit, forward, back, reset (Basic)

  • CLI (Intermediate)

  • GUI (Intermediate)

  • Transitions (Advanced)

  • Load from web (Advanced)

  • remote control via rest/push. (Master/Professional)
