If you want to play around with simple graphics and writing simple
ascii files to disk then dex tracker may be a good project for you.  I
am currently playing around with generating random sounds to disk and
random rythoms.  (I also have a harder graphics problem that when I
solve will break the music program wide open).  https://sourceforge.net/projects/dex-tracker
You would go to the (project homepage) website for dependencies
http://www.stormpages.com/edexter/csound.html (not all are required
for all sub-programs but you do want wxwindows).  It would probily be
cool to expand the idea into non-random series of numbers and I have
just started to code this particular tool.  I can upload it to my
google groups if you are intrested
