What Are Some Good Projects For Novices?

[Josh]

I want to work with PyGAME. But, I know I need to spend a little more
time with some simple Python programs. But, I have no idea what would
be a good program for a novice to work on. This isn't helped by the
fact that the only need I really have for a computer at this point in
my life is entertainment. Anyway, what do you guys think are some good
problems for a novice such as myself to tackle? Thanks for your
suggestions.
