What interesting (!) task can be devised for a child (daughter) aged 13.83 years in Java? Especially if she has just started learning it (literally the first few days, but there is progress).

Update: found: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153297265352368&set=a.487761057367.270246.573817367&type=1&permPage=1

In Delphi, there’s a whole bunch of tasks right away – from calculators to Tetris (yes, with my help, but it’s interesting anyway).

And Java out-of-the-box is console-based. Using Swing, old applets, web servlets, and the like seems a bit premature – instead of solving the problem, a lot would have to be explained about the wrapping. Any ideas? Dmitry Voloshin Vitaly Chibrikov

Yesterday we made a program to guess a selected number. But it’s not very fun. In my childhood, I wrote various simple games/programs on Turbo Pascal on DOS, with graphic or pseudographic interface… But with Java, I can’t seem to devise any fun…
