    Make something that solves and graphs linear equations.

    Already done by pegosh2, I think. Lol. It was kinda good, I guess.

    hmmm what else could be done

    Linear equations are already done
    make 18-segment indicator with a keyboard

    Laser: There are hundreds of lasers out there, I want to do something original
    RAM: People have already made it pretty compact, I probably won't really be able to improve upon it
    RTG: I'll do it if I can think of a way to control the decay
    Connect Four: Great idea, I'm going to start that now!
    Graphing calculator: Fitting a calculator, memory for the variables, a way to graph it and a decent-resolution screen would be nearly impossible in a 600x400 screen.
    @mniip: I'm not sure what you mean by that, could you explain it in more detail?

    Thanks for the ideas, guys!

    Usual 18-segment indicator:

    A realistic engine, or just an engine (for it to be an engine, it needs a fuel inlet valve, an exhaust gas valve and not using cloned fire. :P).

    A) the rtg i doubt would work currently as its requires use of thermo couples to generate power and we dont have thermo couples

    B) i like the 18 segment display idea

    C) lasers are over done so unless you think of some amazing new thing to do with em then theres not much to do

    D) graphing calculator might work IF you made it so it only did like basic functions, like JUST linear equations and for the display use array based lines like have a box on each of the points of a 5 unit by 5 unit grid with an array for all 8 basic directions
