programming outside of sourcepawn
What kind of projects have you guys done to keep an interest in programming (outside of sourcepawn)? I'm finding I can work with sourcepawn cause I enjoy making mods for games but trying to make a calculator or notepad program in c++ comes off as boring. Trying to find something interesting to work with seems just as much a challenge as learning the actual language ;d

Re: programming outside of sourcepawn
See if there's some tooling that you use that you want to improve or something you've wanted to learn about. Maybe you have an older tool that you wrote back when you were new to a language; take the time to write it in an idiomatic fashion.
In no particular order, here's a number of non-plugin/extension projects that I've made to varying stages of (in)completion:

Re: programming outside of sourcepawn
I've only done a few outside of SourcePawn so far. (Btw, SourcePawn is my first programming language.)
1. Simple C++ projects - Created an advanced Statistics calculator. (incomplete because I can't math.) - Written 2 to-do list programs. (1 using structs and arrays and 1 using a class, but both function identically.) - Made a simple Hangman game. (I got bored of being bored, okay?) 2. Discord bots - Programmed a bot that can send commands to my L4D/L4D2 servers hosted at home using RCON so I can manage them while out of the house. - Wrote a simple bot that relays in-game reports to all online admins for a TF2 community that I work for. - Improved an existing relay bot that allows for cross-platform communication between Steam and Discord. (only mentioning this one because I actually learned a lot during my tweaking.) |

If someone would like to help me with this idea my discord is dustin#9028
I'm a beginner at python but it would be fun experience for me. (Maybe not for the guy helping me :))
