What a great list! These are great ideas for any kind of "free time" computing project. Does anything like this exist anywhere else on the net?
Take a classic board game and write your own computer version of it. Program "perfect" play for the computer player.
Just remember that there are some games where "perfect" play is very difficult, if not impossible (Go springs to mind, as well as Chess).
Things like Othello and Checkers are do-able though.
