Collection of programming ideas and challenges
#1
This is not all my ideas, i more or so collected them from time to time when i cant think of anything to code. Reading through them though will jog my memory of something i wanted to code at one time or another. Feel free to add to the list. IT would be cool to have a massive list of ideas when you have writer's block.
