I was thinking that it would be nice to have some major programming project that the students would work on throughout the semester, writing additional parts as we learn the appropriate pascal language and computer science theory. Has anyone tried this in a first programming course? I would welcome any suggestions on possible projects. For example, two possible projects might be writing a simple text editor or writing a simple symbolic differentiation program. I would like that the project require as much of the standard theory as possible, e.g. recursion, pointers, linked lists, other data structures, etc. Any ideas or thoughts about this, either pro or con, would be appreciated.
