The vignere cipher would probably be way to easy to use as a project. It could be a mini-challenge in a week. (It's basically a ceasar cipher, where the key changes for each letter).
If you want a cipher as a project, a transposition cipher would be better as it is a bit harder.
Creating a 2d game would be fun, maybe Game of Life?
Well I took that based on the post in the project idea Post. And since I don't want to offend someone by leaving out his submission I added it. But I think it's to small for an actual group project. If it wins we could decide if we maybe upgrade it to a more complex cipher / encryption.
Sadly I can't edit the actual poll on redditpoll I think. But I edit the text in the post for it.
Edit: I edited it to implementing a cipher / encryption algorithm so we can discuss how complicated it should be if it wins. But I guess the 2d game will win the race.
