Uni project

[keys]

Any ideas for a IT project.

Like internet website, program a system etc .

Does any1 have any ideas for me?

Thanks!

My project was a Parent's Evening Timetable Calculator. Input all the staff, the students and requested 'earliest' times for arrival of the student's parents and it figured the rest out as best it could. I got a pretty UI in place, and changed from using static arrays to using linked lists half way through (due to memory restraints on array sizes in real mode x86). Never actually got to writing the crux of the program though.... hence the big fat U. Pah.

What software and program language did you use?

[OBonio]

This was a few years ago now. It was in Pascal. The only software I used was Turbo Pacal (text interface only, but it had COLOUR!! can't believe I got a U...). I'd guess and say you'd probably want to use something like C++ or Java for a Uni project though. And with OO design, not like the procedural approach I was taught.

Carpark. Dead easy. Even make a web based interface for it.

I like the sound of the car park. Im thinking of an original idea for having a car park or the design of it.

My hobbies are cars, films, animals, music, events. i was thinking of doing a multimedia system for children.

OBonio - i find C++ quite hard. maybe visual basic and sql.

I suspect your tutors have left your choice of project so open to see if you can apply your theoretical knowledge to a practical problem.  A friend of mine had to do this, and found there were more marks for the project planning and analysis than for the actual program itself. 

I doubt asking others for ideas was an intended part of your assignment though.  If all else fails, why not write a game?

[OBonio]

Ursula is right. The reason I got a U for my project was the planning didn't exist. I went all in and started coding, got in a mess (with those damn arrays), recoded to use linked lists then didn't finish it. The markers saw that I could use pointers and the like, but also saw I hadn't planned at all. Also, the documentation consisted of a half finished user guide and print outs of the array and linked list versions of the code. Good luck!

Yeah, carpark was nice, I did it in Java. Had a few crashes, lol, but it worked ok in the end.

I'm doing my third year project next year. I do computer science at nottingham. I've decided to write a program to scan in pieces of a jigsaw, and then solve it. Now I think about it, might be pretty hard! Think i'm going to use C#.
