A Long, Long Summer

So as I hurtle towards, rather shockingly quickly, the end of my first year of iDat, I'm faced with and inevitable truth:

A Four Month Summer.

I Won't be wasting this time, mind. I shall be working on a project to pass the time. But what?

Well that's where you come in, dear reader. Below, there are a few initial ideas, please feel free to comment on them or suggest other ideas. The list shall be added to, and have stuff removed from it it, until there is some clear ideas that are both interesting and feasible. At that point, I shall open a poll widget and leave it to both you and fellow readers to decide which project I shall undertake.

The First Ideas List is:

1. Simple Social Network - Cobble together a Social Networking Engine, likely with ASP (although it may be a good excuse to play with PHP) . Include very basic features like setting up friend relationships, searching and commenting profiles. This could serve as a foundation for potential future projects and coursework.
2. RPG Engine - As The Name suggest, build a 2D Role Playing Game Engine for an Idea between me and a Friend. It seems like it could be simple (I may be underestimating what 'simple' is) - A focus on OOP could streamline the project. It would most likely be made in XNA, so I'd have to roll up my sleeves and learn C++.
3. A Generically Pointless Facebook App - Build a Facebook (and/or OpenSocial) app, likely with ASP again. Can't really flesh this out anymore. An excuse to be blamed for spamming people perhaps?

That's your lot for now. Thanks for reading. Your comments will be much appreciated!
