C++ Goodness

I just finished my C++ class, and it will be at least a semester before I can take Data Structures, and I want to keep my skills sharpened until then.

Anyone know of a site that has some projects that would keep me busy and help me learn some more advanced stuff? We ended on Binary trees, and I feel like I understand pointers pretty well, but where do I go from here?

See how many books I've read so far in 2010

    Just think up something that would be interesting and fun and write it. Possibly an engine for a text adventure? Read in the world from a text file which has specific formatting, store room data in a linked list with multiple links (one room can link to several others), player data, etc.

    Maybe you can search college courses and see if professors have posted past homework or challenges for their students.

    What's worse than a cold toilet seat? A warm toilet seat. There's only one way short of magic it could have gotten warm. At first, you're almost thankful it's warm, then you get to thinking... this is the result of another person's ass-warmth.

    You might find that participating in the open source community will expose you to a lot of ideas and keep you much more sharp than just practicing some homework assignments (and will be a hell of a lot less boring).

    I recommend reading Open Source... by Sean Egan, or Code Reading. These books are great intros to the world of open source software development, which is a fantastic learning environment for the self-motivated.
