Code a 3D graphical demo. Use many shaders and good textures.

Then you need to be skooled:

There are three axis(think of them as lines). One is left and right(X), one is up and down(Y), and one is in and out(Z). A vertice has a X,Y,and Z coordinate of anything. Three verticies form a triangle, and this is what your models are made up of. Each triangle is visable from one side, so don't ask me how the side that's visable is determened. I don't know. Oh, and each vertice has a UV coordinate. That's a location, usially from 0-1 and a decimal, on it's texture. Three verticies would form a triangle on a texture and that's what the picture on the triangle would be. What more is there(a lot of stuff, I know)?!

Should I make a thread at the DBP board so this one doesn't get off topic?

For a text adventure? And now for some skooling for 3D AI:

Basicly, AI has to do da thinking like a human to be good AI. Should be easy. This is where the object collision commands come into place. First, you set an object to have a certain collision type, then you run the object collision command every loop with something around the camera as a collision object. You could make an invisable seight triangle for AI, and box sphere-collided for hearing. Basicly, when you collide with the AI, it's cone, or move loudly in it sphere, you wake it up and it tries to find you if you sounded, does something to you if it saw you, and wacks you if you touch it. Now, this shouldn't be too hard if your human and have at least 3 months experience. I have a year of experience so this might be too complex, and it might not.

Try coding an application that blocks you from the internet.

Yes.

You simply write a text message that says, "You are mud in four!"

Then you turn off the computer and go to bed.

Then in the morning you go outside and walk into the front of a bus.
The bus will need to be moving... write that down.

A text aventure would probably be the easiest. Most the work would be spent writing down the hilarious details and quirky charcter lines. Then wait for an input from the keyboard, say East West, Through the door, Pick up something.. you could get a good game with that. People do read through all this stuff, so if they enjoy it, they'll play the whole game.

A fat Dwarf has just crashed through the roof and is now grumbling and wiggling on the floor. No one has appeared above you, so no danger of anyone else falling on you.
[W]alk back out the room
[P]rod the Dwarf
[S]ay "Hello?"

Hello?

Yes there will be coding problems.

Yeah, I loved text adventures, hell I'd credit them with my learning to read so quickly. My personal fave would have to be The Hobbit - it had actual characters that you could interact with and tons of rooms. More recently RetroGamer featured a lot of text adventures on their coverdisk, the old level 9 classics if I recall.
