question
I have to come up with a project that I should be able to code in about 2 weeks. It has to be something original and about 50% of time should be spent designing and coding the gui, and the other time should be spent coding the logic. I cannot come up with anything. :( Any ideas will be appreciated.
p.s. I just started learning Swing, so nothing too complex please.

DVD Collection - Titles/Stars/Genres, and using text files in a similar mannerto a relational database - starID (key), genreID (key).Include search and list by: Star/Genre etc etc

Or... try making a simple game like hangman or tic-tac-toe. That
would be a good start (since you're just newly acquainted with Swing), plus it
would be fun - creating your own implementation.
Is this a college, or school mini-project?
Hope this helps! :)

I made a Slot Machine that allowed you to play 3 reels, 5 winning lines, animations(move graphic, repaint etc), sounds, it was cool for my CS2 final... Also made a Pizza Ordering GUI.

This is a college project (I am a college junior). Thanks for all your advices, keep them coming! :)

Write chess-board.
Example of using it.
c:\>java ChessBoard
white>e2e4
white pawn moved e2e4
black>f2f4
Error: no black chess-man on f2
black>
While program running it displays the chess board, user may move chess-man by entering commands in console, or by using the mouse (dragging the figures)

CaptainMorgan08 is right - olga did say "it has something to be original" - but
what did he/she meant by that - an original implementation, an all-original
project (from the concept to implementation), because if we're all going to
suggest something we thought of, then under the context of the latter then it
would not be original anymore.
olga you need to clear some things out so we could be able to help
you more effectively...

Here's what i have to do:
"Roughly speaking, your system should have both a significant, interesting interface part and a significant, interesting computational infrastructure behind the interface. You should aim for a project in which you could imagine approximately half of the code being devoted to GUI construction and event handling, and half of the code being devoted to doing something interesting based on the user's interaction with the system.
The application must be implemented in Java/Swing, and all code developed for the project must be new code. However, it is acceptable to import complex packages (e.g., a speech recognizer) to be utilized by your project code.
In addition to this, my prof. said that we have to do something more interesting. For example, we could do a movie management database only if we come up with some creative way to display and interact with the user.
Hope this is more detailed. :)

I decided to do a recipe organizer. :) Hopefully my teacher will like it. :)
