Make a project around one of your hobbies or interests to make it a bit easier. For instance ... if your an avid reader, build a small library of your books or if you collect baseball cards, maybe an app to organize your cards.

Look at the coding for fun website for all sort of fun ideas.

Make a simple game, like tic tac toe for example. A little more advance you can try a simple labyrinth game or tetris game.

Simulation of real physical forces and relations is also amusing - gravitation or magnetism for example.

And another idea - make a music visualizer.

Something like Space Invaders or Asteroids is fun to clone. Action games like that are slightly more difficult than Chess or something similar, and you have to learn a wider range of stuff to get them to work.

Write a utility for one of your old projects. Configuration editor, XML editor, or something similar. Make sure to play with bindings. Games will only teach you a small subset of WPF, I'd suggest making some useful application so you learn all aspects.

How about a program that scans a folder for images and displays them as thumbnails. The window should be re-sizable, as should the thumbnail sizes.

Bonus points if you double click a thumbnail and it zooms in to full size.

I tend to pick something that would help make my work easier as a developer. So think of something that would make you more productive, plus add business value that someone else may benefit from... Or choose something you like and create a WPF app for it...

Could be a game, or a business app for storing contacts, etc. Or something else that might benefit you with your job...

So if it's WPF then we're talking about desktop software, right?

I don't know if you game much or not, but I've seen a few smallish utilities related to various games. For example, someone wrote a config-file editor for Borderlands: http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=85874 (scroll down a bit for a screen shot).

Or maybe you have a development task that you could automate with a small utility. For example, I wrote myself a little command-line app that can strip the source control bindings out of a VSS-controlled Visual Studio solution.

That was a fun little one-day project where I got to play with disk IO and regular expressions.

Surely you have a few itches of your own. Scratch one :)

I've got tons and tons of programs I want to write, and not enough time to do them all.

There are lots of games: connect-four, battleship, mastermind. For me, the fun part is the AI. Simulators are fun to write and play with. streets, electric circuits, stellar physics.

Just write what you're interested in.

I followed this series when starting with WPF, creating a Sudoku game and solver. I highly recommend it: http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2006/11/06/999502.aspx
