What do you want to develop?

Question

If you had chance to select, which application would you like to develop?

For instance, "I want to save the world, I want to develop an application for that matter. Yay!" could be one of the best answers. Maybe people can find each other for developing an exotic application for the sake of humankind.

Answer 1

I would like to write a program that passes the Turing test.

Answer 2

Write a program that counts to infinity. Twice.

Answer 3

I would like to write program which is my self ( I would like to transfer my brains into "AI" code :D )

Answer 4

I would like to write a programm that gets me the next Mersenne-Primenumber :D

Answer 5

If I could do anything, it would definitely be game programming.

Answer 6

I would like to write a program that starts to write itself after a while. Meeh, i'm lazy.

Answer 7

I want to one day develop an AI of sorts that will browse the internet 'anonymously' and retrieving data for consumption by myself and the AI itself. This would be an 'intelligent' AI that could possibly 'lie' to possible connections about what it is and what it wants etc. Pretty much like Google except this AI wouldn't be 'restricted' and would have several subsysystems to circumvent CAPTCHA like systems and what not. Nothing for evil of course... just something I've always wanted to do. A personal assistant to the web, if you will.

Answer 8

A system to interconnect various multi-purpose municipal databases which would be uber-secure. The catch is that if application 1 needs some data it just negotiates a link to the database which is responsible for storing that data and if it has a permission it can retrieve it whenever needed, storing it for only a short time. It would be enough just to know where it is stored and have proper permissions. With some tweaks and clever ideas this could replace the current form-based system. Oh yes, i hate filling tons of forms with the same data and waiting in lines in municipal institutions.

EDIT: it never got past the "it would be cool to make it" step.

Answer 9

To quote Dan:

Write a program that counts to infinity. Twice.

Well, here you go!

public class Counter
{
    public static void Main(string[] Args)
    {
        UInt16 numCounts = 2;

        for (UInt16 i = 0; i < numCounts; i++)
        {
            UInt64 value = UInt64.MinValue;

            for (; value < UInt64.MaxValue; value++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(value.ToString());
            }

            Console.WriteLine(value.ToString());
        }

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

As far as the CLR is concerned, that is pretty much what you are doing right there (Integer wise).

Edit: And here is real, compilable C# to count twice to infinity!

public class Counter
{
    public static void Main(string[] Args)
    {
        UInt16 numCounts = 2;

        for (UInt16 i = 0; i < numCounts; i++)
        {
            Double value = Double.NegativeInfinity;

            for (; value < Double.PositiveInfinity; value++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(value.ToString());
            }

            Console.WriteLine(value.ToString());
        }

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Yes! The above code compiles! (C#)

Answer 10

I would like to make an openid server with fake identity you can choose from when you use this server to login.

It'll surely create a mess, but it'll be so much easier to manage future spamming coming with openid craze.

Answer 11

I would like to write a program that runs on a bank computer and collects all of the rounding errors and deposits them into my account... :)

"What would you do with a million dollars?" ;)

Answer 12

I want to write a program that read text and speak the text in user preferred language
