Greetings gri6507,

Have you considered building a game? I've been toying with the idea of writing a Cosmic Wimpout game in Perl, probably with OOP and wrapped into a module. The idea being, you could use the module to write a command-line Perl game, Web game, or other. Since the game deals with five dice with similar characteristics, it seems like it would lead naturally into an OOP project.

Why Cosmic Wimpout? Well, the game rules are very simple, straight forward, and well defined. The game also requires extremely minimal user interaction with the game engine. As a player, you only really decide whether you roll or stand, and what the wild dice becomes when the rules give you the option to choose.

I've found a great Palm application that's a joy to play, but I can't find any other application of this classic dice game. So your project would also have the advantage of being mostly pseudo original. :)
