Never do a game. They take time and GRAPHICS, which programmers do not specialise in.

Do something USEFUL. Maybe a simple program such as notepad with a bit of bonuses, or a database.

Do something enjoyable. Note the marking criteria would probably be heavily inclined to the documentation side.

So would developing a text based adventure game like a MUD or something similar be a good or bad idea? I asked my teacher and he said it might be too simple...

 

[SpiralFlex]

I would stay away from text base adventure games, they can get complicated and overuse IF-ELSE statements...

But what did you have in mind?

I agree with InfinityBlade -- do something fun. I made a game that I really wanted to make anyway, and it barely felt like work (except for the documentation -- ugh).

Here is my major project from 2012: http://danielgoldbach.com/files/bin-release/Main.html

It's like worms or tanks, but with mathematical plots on the Cartesian plane. It's conceptually simple but was very algorithmically interesting to implement.
