I like the elevator sim proposal. We did that exercise in C++ in
college. It makes use of few data structures. I actually was very
impressed at how intense the algorithm for an elevator could be.
Especially if, say, its a skyscraper with many floors and elevator
shafts. Very good exercise! I am new to python myself and just may try
that for the practise.
Here's my suggestion: A python game AI for the text game "Zork"
USMC
Semper Fi
