Hey guys, I'm new at c#. I'm still in the process of learning. I've never really been into programming, developing etc but I've always loved science and technology, and always wanted to try the game developing side of it. one of the real reasons I never stuck to learning a language was lack of ideas and understanding concepts. well, I've got a good basic tutorial to stick with for a while, and I'm finally understanding now. I'm figuring out that I like the fact that you can write software for *whatever* you want. I'm programming in console applications right now. So, my question is... Does anyone have any cool and simple ideas for programs that a beginner could write for practice and learning, or somewhere to look for ideas. I'm trying to come up with ideas myself but I figured I'd look here for a little extra help. I like topics like: 1)telling the computer to do a huge math problem, algorithm, or puzzle 2)cryptography/code breaking 3)Simple games 4)artificial intelligence 5)communication 6)drawing 3d objects, custom GUIs I'm not really the type that would develop business or web applications, etc, as you can see, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to write them or that what I write can't be useful. however there would be no point for me to develop a business application because I'm just a beginner and no one would buy it :P maybe for personal use though. so if you guys have any ideas or resources including but not limited to these topics, I think that will help me out. meanwhile I'm writing ideas like these down. Thanks!

Hey, Any suggestions on how I should go about loading levels into my game? I have a very good piece of code working for my player... collision detection works 100%, doors work (including the ID property for teleporting to rooms).. I'm probably going about all of this the wrong way, and I don't want to make a 2D game using tiles. I guess all I'm asking is... how should I go about this? I've tried making an MDIParent and MDIChild to get pre-made forms to load, I don't really like the idea of doing that... I've also tried getting each control off of 1 form onto another and that isn't working right.. I am probably going to make an editor to export each control name and their properties and then have the form to load the properties off of the text file based on the level ID, I could probably easily do that but would that be the right way? Any help is appreciated!
