Hello everyone !

I have some basic knowledge on C++ (University course some years ago, then a little robot-lab 1 year ago), but I want know to deepen further into it. I have decided that it should be C++, because in Electronical Egeneering (I am studying that) it is it THE language of choice.

Now I am looking for an existing project that is coded in C++ and that is not too big.
I think this is the best method to learn: hack on a project and extend it.

My problem that I don't find a little program coded in C++. Almost all small programs are coded in Python or GTK+ (GObjects) or the likes.
Only very big projects like OpenOffice or Firefox are written in C++, but they are way to big in my opinion for playing around and learn quickly enough.

A small program like the ToDo-Tool Nota (http://nota.silent-blade.org/index.php?n=Main.Screenshots) would have been great. Ok... this one is really tiny. It doesn't have to be so tiny, but somethings smaller than OO.org or FFox would be great.

Anyone an idea ?

rTorrent and it's library, libtorrent, are written in C++. A bit more complicated than that Nota appears to be, but nowhere near the complexity of OO.org or FF.

Also, if your research fails, you can ask MOTU about advice. They might know about suitable projects.
