Been Thinking About Picking Up A Project

[Feng Shui]

Hello, world. I'm pretty new to programming. I've gone through the basics in Python, Java, and I've also picked up some Ruby on the side. Now I'm thinking I want to put it to use to get some actual practice outside doing simpler scripts and algorithms. But I sincerely can't come up with a decent project to start working on. Got any ideas?

A calculator or simple snake game would be a way to start.

You're doing great! I started by creating a simple information system, like a simple point of sales (sales/purchase), inventory logging system (recording in/out items), or maybe to record your financial activities for start? I learn a lot of basic programming and database engineering from that.

Redo anything that already exists, but do it better?

... and also make it more compatible?
