Programmer's block

[spudtater]

Next trimester I have to do a group programming project with three other people. It should be manageable. The only thing is, none of us can think of any ideas as to what to program!

I was thinking of some sort of client-server application; a program runs on your computer, which connects over the internet to some server in order to do something. Something like a chat program, although that's been done to death, and the world really doesn't need another one!

Maybe an online version of a board game? Catan's been done pretty thoroughly... maybe something a little more obscure?

How about a MUD-like representation of the city of Edinburgh, with a rich system for describing and changing objects?

Woe unto thee.
