This is a nice program to do that is nifty and makes use of things you're already using, and adds a little bit more. here's a description of it:
Make your window and then plot three points, they can be anywhere, but it works nicely if they make a wide open triangle. Then, plot a third point randomly in the window. Then, keep plotting points by doing the following: Make a random number from 1 to 3. Then, according to the number, plot a point that is halfway between the last point placed and one of the three original points (if the random number is 1 then it will go to the first point you put, 2 it will go to the second, etc.). Plot points until someone pushes a key on the keyboard.
This isn't easy to do if you haven't done it before, but its a nice way to introduce you to some standard programming functions and statements, as well as getting used to math in a programming environment. Besides. I love this program (called The Chaos Game). It was one of the first programs I could make in a boring class period at school in QBasic. It can be tough, though, so feel free to ask questions.
