Two come to mind
1- My first two Smalltalk programs, one a simulation of a Tibetan
monastery's micro-economic system based on staging sponsored
religious
ceremonies, the second a simulation of interactions with a cultural
informant for a field methods course in grad school.
2- A C (absolutely hated the programming language) - Windows
Developer's Toolkit v 0.9 (absolutely hated Microsoft from that day
forward) program to measure the cow eyes in order to fit them with
contact lenses. It seems that cows with poor eyesight give less milk
and and contact lenses meant more milk and more ice cream at Babcock
Hall, University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I did the project.
I have always had fun when working with Smalltalk, whatever the
project.

OK, lots of us have noticed that computing is not all that fun
anymore. Its a grind. Sure the outcome of the grind might be
rewarding. But is it fun?
So my challenge to us here is: What's the most fun computer project
you can think of. Or have done, for that matter!
This includes using fun environment like NetLogo, Smalltalk and the
like. Rapid (and satisfying!) prototyping.
