Why not do something creative for a change and write a first-person fly swatter game. Your character could move through the Alice world swatting bugs - (not the kind that keeps the IEEERemainder method from working properly, but the kind that are available in the Alice gallery).

If I had a child enrolled in a programming course where the teacher required the students to write shooter programs, I would write a letter of complaint to the school board, recommend that the teacher be fired, and remove my student from the class.
