Seriously? No ideas for projects to work on? *cough* *sputter* 1) You probably won't find other people's pet projects nearly as interesting as your own, so you probably shouldn't ask. However, 2) most people would be more than happy to babble on all day about their pet projects, in a most unentertaining way, even though though they're totally aware of #1.

But since you asked, some of mine currently are:

• Make a script that detects when a window starts flashing its taskbar icon, and find a way to make it stop flashing ASAP. (for some people, this TweakUI setting works... for other people (me), it does nothing)
  
• Finish up my overly ambitious porn-search-engine/indexer that will change the face of internet pr0n forever. (okay, that's not AHK, but you gave us license to prattle on)
  
• Set up a page on teh wiki to organize the various AHK-related keyboard-chording scripts, since that's an obvious area for growth.

If you're looking for something to do to help the AHK community though, Chris posted some suggestions two years ago. I don't know if any of them still need to be worked on, or if he has an updated list.

I think there's an embarrassing paucity of AHK games, considering games are more fun to code than most other scripts. Everyone knows some simple-but-addicting type games that could be scripted: board games, scratch-paper games, cell-phone type games, puzzles, strategy games, etc. Or invent your own!

What about to dive into this: [MP3 File Structure - HowTo].
Zillions of people out there waitn for native AHK functions ti extract MP3 infos like ID2/3 Tags!

Kinda challenge, isn't it?

Ideas for games: 8 Classic PC Games & How They Rocked The World

[jaco0646]

Well I finally finished my newest game, so I'm ready for something fresh. I searched through Wikipedia extensively before I settled on Ataxx, and I was especially interested in the list of Abstract Strategy games. I found 3 games on this list that I eventually want to script (including Ataxx, so 2 more).

My next choice (based solely on personal preference) is Pentago. I think it looks like a very fun game, and would also be rather challenging to code; so it offers the opportunity to expand the boundaries of AHK.

Third is Abalone, which is a simpler game, but also looks very fun.

I want to hear what people think about these games, and of course if anyone would like to help. My weakness in coding games is the AI. For example, I probably could have used a recursive function instead of a series of loops to make Ataxx much faster and more difficult.

basically i wanna see real pc games rather than more board games

[jaco0646]

Has a "real pc game" ever been made in AHK? If not, please do!

A good game to make with AHK would definitely be asteroids.

What do you mean by real pc game?
