For class I have to write a small 'software' program in Java. Minimum code length is 3K lines of code (not counting comments). I've enjoyed learning about automation/bots and would like to do something along those lines, but that's been in Python, and this has to be in Java.

Any ideas for a good program that might actually be useful?

I totally get the struggle of coming up with unique programming ideas. One thing that worked for me was solving small but annoying everyday problems. For example, I once built a simple tool to enhance photo quality for old scanned pictures using AI filters—wasn't groundbreaking, but it was super useful. If you're into image processing, you could explore automation tools for batch editing or even something fun like generating AI art from doodles. Sometimes the best ideas come from just experimenting with tech you enjoy!
