Anyone want to work on a program with me?

Anyone want to work on a project with me for practice?
I have nothing better to do.

I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you write a calculator program similar to the windows calculator in Lazarus. I can assure you it is not as simple as it looks.  :D

That was my first practice project in Lazarus/FreePascal.

A 'must-have-done' for each programmer: implement Conways game of life.
A fun excercise.

That's a very good one. I have the code in C++ but I never tried it in Pascal. Another favourite of mine is Tower of Hanoi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi. A classic recursive algorithm problem in Pascal textbooks. I still play the game from time to time.  :D

Tower of Hanoi, nice one, a good practice for recursion, but I think to advanced, better start with Fibonacci first ;-)
I have done those in Java and when I will practise them in Pascal as soon I will have more time ;-)

I wouldn't call Fibonacci a 'project'  :D

I was referring to practice recursion, before starting with the Tower of hanoi project ;-)
