I've almost finished with my cooperative work/university CS degree, and I always disliked programming "games" there. Creating the 10000th Conways Game of Life?

I've almost finished with my cooperative work/university CS degree, and I always disliked programming "games" there. Creating the 10000th Conways Game of Life? Developing some crappy game on my own? No, thanks. Developing something for an existing game? That would have been great! I'm all with you.
