Oh yeah, making an app that is easy to use and still secure is definitely not easy. But at least you would know how you implemented the encryption on it.
I didn't mean "your own" app would be easier to use, I meant the crypto would be easier to use via an app instead of using it through the command line.
You wouldn't be rolling your own crypto? You could use standard crypto but with your own app/UI to make the crypto easy to use.

I enjoy doing it but my main issue is finding things to work on. I just can't seem to get good ideas.
The funny thing is that I do have some experience with auto repair, HVAC, and carpentry. My Dad is a general contractor and every summer I would usually go help him with jobs. I've helped build a house, work on a custom deck for a pool, and quite a few other things. We have worked on my truck and car together. Being in Houston isn't the best for doing that stuff. Being in an attic where it's 90+ out isn't very fun. Thanks for the advice though!

For games, I would recommend C++, C#, or Java. They have good libraries for games already created. C++: SFML and SDL C#: OpenTK and XNA Java: LWJGL and Slick (Which uses LWJGL)

The Dell has an Anti-Glare coating. These look sharper because they don't have one.
