I'm developing a Poker tournament manager, using C++ and Qt. I'm currently reading a book on Qt 4 programming which is going well. I'm an experienced C++ user, so I just need to get to grips with Qt, but it's coming along well.

After I've read the book I'll start programming. The program will help organise poker tournaments and leagues. It will be released under GPL and I've got a sourceforge page setup (http://pokertm.sourceforge.net, http://www.sourceforge.net/pokertm). It should be a good program I think, and there's no other (open source) software out there to do this.

If anyone wants to help with this, then get in touch! I plan to release a first copy at the end of the summer!

EDIT: Vlade you made Escape?! I loved that game (I just played the Demo), I thought that was awesome, very intuitive.

Yep, I made it a few years ago, its what really got me into programming. It started out as a fun little project, and then I decided to enter it in the uDevGames 2002 mac games contest, and then after I made it into shareware and saw some money I decided to really get into programming. I'm glad you like that game, I love hearing about when people play my games :)

The largest application I've developed would be this:
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/halleyd/fyp/

It's a program to capture data from the Gnutella filesharing network and then 'visualise' that data, which I developed for my Undergraduate Degree.

So, you can view the average number of shared files per country, or based on connection speed.
You can view the number of people online at certain times of the day/month/year.
You can view the searches people are currently conducting, and the file types that are most frequently searched for.
Finally, you can view a world map that displays the number of people connected to Gnutella in different countries.

I've had my Mac since May, and it's my first one. Up to then I'd only really coded websites (PHP, Javascript, SQL, etc.), and I wanted to get into the application side of things.

To familiarise myself with XCode and the Interface Builder I've created a little tool to mount the network shares on my XP machine. You put in the IP and the share name, and it can test the connection by pinging the IP and mount the share.

The other utility I've made is a bitrate/time/filesize calculator for video/audio encoding. This is the most complex thing I've done to date. It allows switching between Kbps and Mbps and KB, MB and GB.

Both used AppleScript for the back end; not very technical or difficult, but I just wanted to get familiar with the tools available on the Mac more than anything.

I've just started learning C.

Oh, and I'm a fan of Solitaire XL, gekko513 :)

I once made an app that make a dot go around in some mazes using pixel-detection. Pretty basic but I had a blast doing it...
