Hey guys,
As some of you may/may not be aware, I am in my last year at university, and as part of the final year of the course I have to make a final year project.
Its a very important part of the final year and worth the same as 3 modules.
The only problem is, I only had two ideas so far and got told that they were not suitable, and I was supposed to hand in a proposal form with my idea, to get it signed (last week!)
I was wondering if any of you guys have any ideas, anything will help, basically I am supposed to make a project, think of a problem in computing and solve it (probably best if it is game related) and then I have to program some software they said, I am a really terrible programmer and I can hardly program anything, but so far the only two ideas I had were:
Make USB Master System or other retro controller, using a PIC chip and make code - I was told this was more suited to an electrical engineering degree (im studying games tech)
Make a project about a particular genre of game and program a GBA game (difficult for me.. because im bad at programming but I thought I could try it) - I was told that this, on its own would not be sufficient enough.
So basically at the moment I am feeling like im up $hit creek without a paddle. I got assaulted last week which didnt help, and my nose was broken, still in some pain, getting headaches, dizzy spells etc, and have hospital appointment this week.
Anyway if anyone has any ideas please feel free to post them here. I have to find a problem to solve, that I can do research and write a project about, and then I have to program some software, or something like that..
