interesting how I nearly got all those functions right just based on those existing in c# 
still had to lookup a reference for the correct spelling (case-sensitiveness) though.

My brain interpreted few patterns as:
1. 2 gnomes holding hands
2. Bat (the animal)
3. Back of the head of a panda
4. Negative processed image of a wolf
5. Part of Manchester City's logo in middle of black pattern
6. Pawn or rook
7. Hip bone X-ray
And many more. (Yes, I have too much time)

Hi All
I'm trying to find back issues of WDM for 'old times sake' but none of my Googling has produced anything of substance.
I followed a link to Dr.Dobbs, who may have purchased the intellectual property, but there the trail ran cold.
Before I contact Dr.Dobbs, do any old-timers remember what might have happened to the magazine?

All I recall is that they tried to give it away, and still no-one wanted it, so they stopped publishing. I used to subscribe. I have some issues, but only the 5 or so that ran my articles, the rest I threw out.

I don't know. Was that before or after Kilobaud Microcomputing[^] disappeared?
I remember reading the issue they show on the Wikipedia page.  The main article was about the upcoming new 16 bit processors which probably will forever be too powerful and expensive for most of us.

Hi, I’m new to the forum and i think i had an idea for a good sticky thread/ new section.
(In a hurry? jump to the arrow, 3rd paragraph.)
First let me explain why i had this idea:
I'm a Computer Science student and at the last semester of the curse we have a class that's called "Project" and guess what its the goal there?? Yes, to make a project! And so it all started with the first question any student has when he must develop some project/assignment about anything he wants... "What should it be about??"
From there i just went jumping forum to forum (IT, Programming, new tech...) reading some good posts and more important (than the information i gather) i realized that there’s actually a good community willing to help each other and that's what i need Help!
In all those forums i saw a lot of quick ask and answer topics for new programmers, topics for the discussion of "all" kinds of hardware and software, job offerings...
But i still didn't found what i would like to. And i think a lot of people in a similar situation could benefit from.
---> It would be like a thinking tank/brainstorming place for people with experience to give a kick start for those who are new to some level of IT (Programming, Web Design, Networking, Hardware related and so on...)
Goal:
To help others jumping into the Job Market/achieve success.
Why:
We already have the community and some forums even have a job offer section, they (you) already know whats needed to make it as <some IT related job>.
How:
As i said, maybe a sticky thread to start with and later a section divided by topics on the most needed skills.
I'll give you my example to start with:
I'd like to do a project related to OOP, (Object Oriented Programming) my preferred languages are Java and C++.
Putting it like this my be a little vague... but that’s exactly my point here. I want to show my skills in OOP and at the same time i would like to do something useful. Create some app/system for others, make a good "portfolio" so companies could see what i have to offer them. But I’m not sure what would or wouldn’t be a good idea to get my hands-on.
Instead of asking this in a general discussion area maybe there should be a place just for this.
Where instead of people posting a job offer they would say "If you do <some project>, we can discuss a position in my company/office" or "At this moment <some project> may have great potential". And if some one needs tips on how to make his own project work for him (to profit or to get a job) this would be the place to ask that... to get some sense of direction.
I hope you can get the right picture here.
Thank you!
PS – I really want to do a project related to OOP, so u can reply about that.
Also if you know some source of information like what i had described please refer it because i should have missed it on my research.

tl;dr;
BUt probably better poste in Bugs and Suggestions forum anyway

The answer to this question is always the same. What are you good at ? What will impress your teachers ? We don't know the answer to those things. There's all sorts of C++ or Java projects, but any suggestion will either be vague and simple, or assume specialisation. Of course your project will be 'related to OOP', that means nothing. You can't do non OO code in Java, and you shouldn't in C++.

No one can do that but yourself. You need to have the knowledge to get the job done and CP already helps there. A good attitude can certainly help, but that's also entirely up to you.
It seems you're really searching for an idea for a project. There's lots that you can do, but in the end it comes down to what can you do, how much time have you got and what do you like.
We don't know that...
It's an OO world.

Two problems described here[^].
They are just programming assignment problems, meant to be done in at most a couple of weeks each, and submitted; but you can always expand on them. You can add all the bells and whistles you want to add (your creativity is the limit here), and make the project reasonably heavy, enough to engage you for about 3-4 months; and enough to satisfy your university requirements.

@OOP project:
One of the main issues that new programmers tend to get wrong is the usability of a program from the point of view of someone else. In my experience a program can often be confounding to others - even fellow programmers - who don't know what's in the head of the creator of an application. For that reason alone, you really should try to think of a little program that you would like to have yourself: look at it from the users perspective, not from the programmers perspective! The best programs and tools often come from people who initially created it for themselves. Just make sure it's not too complex or daunting.
Some ideas include word processing tools, e. g. an editor that can read forum posts and put the postings of a thread like this into readable form for offline consumption. Or a small vector-based drawing program (there are lots of painting programs, but very few good ones that are vector-based, i. e. use scalable graphic elements). Or maybe a remake of a favorite game that you want to add some features to, or otherwise adapt to your favourite playstyle. Maybe you like music and would like a tool to read, convert, merge and otherwise modify music and sounds from different sources.
You should also consider the platform your program should work on: a desktop or smartphone application are two entirely different things, and so is a web service. At the moment smartphone (and other mobile device) apps are hip, but there's also a huge number of programmers already busy creating stuff, so it's going to be difficult to create an app that stands out from the rest.
Once you know what you want to do, consider the things a user may want to do with it, and how he would want to interact with it. This defines the expected behaviour of your system, and behaviour is one of the most important aspects of OOP! From there it should be easier to identify the objects in your system, and what they can do.

The answer is CP!
The rest is you are going to have to take risks, make some choices, makes mistakes, learn from your mistakes, pick yourself up and keep going like the rest of us still do - even after 20+ years of professional programming.
