i had my final in my ap cs class and we're given 4 weeks to create an application(not a japplet) and i was wondering if any of you guys could give me some ideas for said application. a couple friends are doing an advanced version of pong, one friend is trying to make poker (idk how he'll do that) i just need something simple it doesnt need to be a game either. thanks

not bad i'd probably go super ocd with that and take too long but definitely a solid idea

do it well enough and you'll get a damn good internship
I'll help beta test if you want

This is a great idea. Not entirely related but there is a 95 video series on making a chess engine in C. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ1QII7yudbc-Ky058TEaOstZHVbT-2hg. I haven't personally watched it but I've heard good things about it.

There's actually an updated library for PircBot. I'm using it to develop the Twitch bot I made for my stream, called PircBotX.
https://code.google.com/p/pircbotx/
It's a little bit more complex to get the hang of, because it uses a configuration builder and event listeners, but it's much more robust with it's capabilities and very easy to modify, assuming you want to add to it or you don't like how something is currently set up.

dude i wish i was good enough to do that dmenace. it'd take me way longer than 4 weeks (only class time + fooling around) but maybe i'll work on that during the summer.

Write a raytracer.
The theory involved in making a direct illumination renderer is really surprisingly simple and the maths required is not terribly hard. You also end up with flashy as fuck screenshots to take after doing not a lot of work which is going to look more impressive than a crap game or calculator. Here is a nice tutorial.
Additionally, if you actually enjoy working on it, state of the art renderers (Renderman [Pixar], Arnold [every film in the past 5+ years], Maxwell/Indigo [architectural renderers], etc) are built on these foundations. You can follow the ideas all the way through your undergraduate degree and into research as part of a grad program or working for Disney if you want to.

I only just wrote a ray tracer and I'm a senior in CS. I'm not saying it's impossible for a self-motivated person to understand, but OP is a senior in high school. Unless he has a rock-solid understanding of trig & basic linear algebra, I don't know if that's a skill-appropriate suggestion.

everyone else did something shitty like a electronic menu for a fast food restaurant or tic tac toe or something where it was 90% just dragging in elements in visual studio

Mashup of Conway's Game of Life and the popular board game, Life.
If you aren't limited to Java, I have some other ideas:
-A website that displays the weather in multiple cities, allowing you to show off to your friends that you're on vacation (might already exist)
-App that rates parts of towns based on yelp / google reviews of establishments in the area. Can help if you're trying to decide what area of a city to stay in, for instance.
-Generate crosswords from fb/twitter activity of a random friend
