So I've learned the basics of C++.... What now?

[ShishKabab]

I learned the basics of C++ a few months ago.... I like the language... Does anyone know a simple C++ project could join to gather some experience?

You could learn how to program graphics, it's fun.
The most popular graphics C C++ libraries are using SDL
http://www.libsdl.org/index.php

There are a couples of demos to learn from.
Have fun.
If you want a book about graphics using SDL I highly recommend "Programming Linux games" from No starch press.

search sourceforge by language. but maybe before that you want to do some simple projects (but more work that your homeworks).

Projects for a week or two each. Check wiki in my sig for suggestions

If you are not sure what to do now: try programming a Tetris clone. No, really. Well, if you are into games, that is.

To be more Ubuntu specific, go to launchpad.net and see if you can participate in a project there...

[ShishKabab]

Thnx for your replies!

I'll check the sources you gave me.

@Toxe: Hmm.... I think a Tetris clone is too complicated right now, because I can imagine games are very complicated to program in C++.

Get involved with Project Euler. It will challenge yoiu as well as your skill level in a number of areas. Good Luck.

implement the basic data structures that exist in STL (stack, list, queue)

make each store things in an array and then node based ...
