- You can try to write a game or a game engine.
 - online book about writing game illustrated in C++
http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/
 - voxels are all the rage, but the only framework I know that is not
minecraft-like is still closed source http://www.voxelquest.com/
 - I am a big fan of Final Fantasy games, it seems to be an easy game
experience to code

- Contribute to valve opengl debugger, becarful awesomeness ahead,
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/vogl
- Contribute to one of the C++ graphical framework: Ogre, blender, Qt
- Not rigorously a game: contribute to blender: it's written in C, C++ and
Python.
- make new graphical devices easy to use from Python, I'm thinking about
occulus rift and http://hello.vxbx.net/
- Contribute to Inkscape
- Contribute to scikit.learn I think they use Cython and C++ to improve
performance.

Regarding games I like this book: http://fabiensanglard.net/
