What bliss that must be. I always have many more Ideas than
I can even think about completing.

Creating fractals might be a bit complex for a beginner and
writting paint program can be too if you have to learn how to
read mouse input as well as use drawing routines. What I would
suggest is first (if you haven't already) master the
text mode output routines:
  ?
  puts ()
  print ()
  position ()
  get_position ()

the input routines:
  get_key ()
  wait_key ()
  input_number ()
  input_string ()

then the drawing routines:
  ellipse ()
  draw_line ()
  polygon ()

And then figure out how to use what you know to make a simple
"Hangman" game. You'll learn a lot and then you'll be able to
advance to more complicated stuff.

later,
Lewis Townsend
