can professional CS guys tell me what are some cool nice projects to make to learn diferent topics in a CS degree that requires me to google and learn the basic topics like math, compilers, networking.

I feel like reading a 900 book about such CS topics to be a waste of time and I rather code the exercises without wasting too much time on the theory.

So far I come up with shit like:

>Data structures
code from scratchs things like trees, quadtrees, octotrees, linked lists, basic search algorithsm like sort bubble.
code from scratch an A* algorithm.

>Networking
basic chat app.
basic app that shows a twitch channel chat by giving an url link, or some app that renders a youtube video comments.
basic pong multiplayer from scatch.

>Linear algebra
do some 2D photoshop transformation tool I think.

>Computer graphics
A basic raytracer, a SDL demoscene demo.

>C
some basic text editor using C

>C++
dunno about what project to make for a modern C++

>trigonometry
a basic trigonometry calculator from mouse input positions.

>Functional programming
Maybe some calculator on haskell.

What are other projects that will teach me CS topics without reading a fucking textbook I don't give a fuck.

way too many ideas to get anything done, pick one idea and work with it to completion

all those projects could take a couple days, even a week at best to implement.

then you can't code for shit if a text app or a trigonometry calculator could take more than a couple hours to make retard.

he explicitly stated he doesn't know how to code

he asked about project ideas, he never mentioned he didn't knew how to code.

also you learn to code by doing all those project ideas, not reading a book.

Make me an app that shows fundamentals of stocks in a format similar to Tinder, and allows you to form a diversified, highly selected portfolio based on how you quickly swipe on stocks.

Here's a really tough one that'll have you read through some basic abstract algebra, number theory, lattice theory, etc. Implement a cryptosystem based on the ring learning with errors problem.
>Hard Mode
Be able to secure 128 bits with less than 10,000 bits
>Harder Mode
Make it secure over a distributed network with live queries

not OP but this is just too easy thanks anon. My github going be super well rounded after this one

You're talking to someone who did a math major, not a CS major. Second of all, good luck keeping bit sizes down. It's an active research problem ;^).

o- oh. Well it LOOKS approachable but... I guess not
