Hi,
As you will probably know by my few posts. I had been intending on producing an archiver for my project. Unfortunately, yesterday I learned about a project (SMART Archiver) that pretty much does everything I was intending to do, which makes me pretty redundant.
I'm quite desperate, Barry suggested that I ask here if anyone can suggest any other work I could do for my project?
My project has to be a substantial piece of individual work that actually produces some kind of software artifact. It should be produced independently, I shouldn't be reliant on anyone else in order to complete the project. It also has to be challenging, in order to get good marks I have to solve problems, it cannot just be something like bug fixing an existing program. I am meant to spend 200 hours on my project, including report writing and presentation writing.
Thanks for any advice.
Iain
