I also have the startings on a multi level character generator/manager for folks who play the pencil and paper role playing games, like dungeons and dragons, I have a simple dice roller for said games and am working on a more complex one, since my favorite roller was made for windows 98, and will undoubtedly stop working when I need to upgrade OS's again, and a name reverser for use in the same things (type in a word, hit enter and its replaced with the same word spelled in reverse, so vulgar becomes ragluv) and a little set of quick applications I'm working on for the guy who runs the game, to assist with testing or randomly generating things for a game, such as a random town, a monster against the group tester, a combat tracker (for me mainly but others could use it as well) and a Sci-Fi random World generator. I also have a metric to us and us to metric and other measurements converter, a quick made interval timer, a random number generator that enjoyed a very brief liking with players of a particular online adventure/conquest game called black nova traders, that you gave it the number of sectors in the games universe, and it would give you a random place to go, and I was getting ready to cause it to log all the rolls and add notes when the game site closed due to lack of support.oh almost forgot a JPEG photo viewer with the ability to encode the graphicinto a coded file and delete the original so one could have a private collection of electronic images that nosy folks would have a problemviewing, since they could only be unencrypted and viewed in the applicationitself.ok that about sums it up, smile, I have so many games due to my having onceworked for a blind game developer who is still around, and finding that I loved designing the things, I probably have 20 to 30 more game designs and/or scenarios on a disk around here somewhere! I also was a beta tester for all in play in there early days, back when all they had was the poker game.basically, if I think I may be able to conquer it, I just work on anything I don't have, and either can't afford a already made version of, or can't findan accessible one of out there easily enough.

I'd like your thoughts on what programs you create during your spare time, and maybe you could give me some ideas on what I could do. I for now program in Visual C#.net, but am also looking into the other .net languages and maybe Java. All thoughts are very welcome.
