[Here](./projects/README.md) are some project specifications to offer a
challenge to your growing mastery.
challenge to your growing mastery. Here are very brief descriptions
presented in alphabetical order.
Perhaps before you tackle these, check out the fully described
[FIZZBUZZ](./section_1/fizzbuzz/README.md) program first.
---
The [DIRENT](./projects/DIRENT/README.md) project demonstrates how a
complex `struct` can be used in assembly language.
---
The [PI](./projects/PI/README.md) project demonstrates floating point
instructions. The program will "throw darts at a target," calculating
an approximation of PI by tracking how many darts "hit the target"
versus the total number of darts "thrown".
---
The [SNOW](./projects/snow/README.md) project uses 1970's era tech to
animate a simple particle system. This project demonstrates a reasonable
design process of breaking down complex problems into simpler parts.
---
The [WALKIES](./projects/walkies/README.md) presents a cute little
animation demonstrating looping with some pointer dereferencing.

Perry has created a library of about 200 programming projects
suitable for CS 1, CS 2, Data Structures, Networking, Operating
Systems and Computer Organization classes. If a publisher of
CS text books be interested in purchasing the library, please
reach out.
Also, check out [Get Off My L@wn](https://www.amazon.com/Get-Off-My-Zombie-Novel-ebook/dp/B00DQ26J8G), a Zombie novel for
coders. You read that right... elite programmer Doug Handsman retires
to his wife Ruth Ann's native northern Wisconsin. And then, well, the
apocalypse happens. Bummer.
Rated 4.3 out of 5 with more than 70 reviews, it's a fun read and costs
next to nothing.
