Hi all.

I am gonna be having a project to be made (c#) in next 4 weeks or more , could someone give me some idea...it's abaot some app like cash machine , counter or something like that, but that's just what everybody does for their project soo i'd like to do something new but again not soo complicated. It has to be made of all object-oriented programming parts (wich i will add soon).Or i can "just" make a simple 2d game ,it's my choice(been looking at some examples of simple games and it's hard for me to understand the logic so as meaning of all these sprites and game engines , SDK...). I don't even know where to start. If you got something on your mind feel free to share it with me,that would be a great help. Thank you.

How about an MSN/ICQ/Skype-Clone? Sending messages, smilies and files.
Should be easily done within 4 weeks and should be differend from the other projects.
Don't forget to include some strong encryption.

Or if you prefer a game; how about a multiplayer bomberman?

Skype, MSN, ICQ and so on are all controled by some big companies and located somewhere close to NSA. You might develope your own client/server infrastructure with some strong encryption. this would give some privacy to you and your friends ... as long as they trust in you

You may use it to chat are share files, without beeing captured by microsft, google ... or somebody else.

You should start writing a simple server and a client to connect.
If done, you can start to implement some more logic.
There should be samples around, I pretty sure you're not the frist one

Any specific question?

[Somebody00]

never been doing something like that soo i guess i'll google for it and try it out...

You can start from here:

But you shouldn't just copy and paste it.

o my god thank you verry much

btw do you know how can i "grab" a HTML code from some page to use it.
Example:
I make an app to download all pictures from my news on facebook soo i need to add a tag in my code to grab all pictures, do you know what i mean ?

[upsurt]

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean...

If you want to get the HTML of the website, you can try this:

Code:

WebClient client = new WebClient(); string content = client.DownloadString("http://www.something.com");

or this, to get a file

Code:

WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.DownloadFile("http://www.something.com/photo.jpg", @"c:\download\photo.jpg");

---

you could grab the HTML, parse it, loop through the result and download the files

that's excalty what i meant , i just haven't found the right words to express myself how is that process called in c# , and how excatly does "@" sign works here in grabbing strings, thanks a lot man

[upsurt]

the @ in front of a string is meant to interpret the string literally.

so you can write @"c:\download\photo.jpg" or "c:\\download\\photo.jpg"
