PC98 emulator for android so that I can play earlier touhou games on my phone.
make sure to design a good interface for controlling the character and shooting.

Github is a bad idea. It's the 4chan of code hosting - you WILL get trolled and everything you can and will do about it WILL make you look bad.

Try a personal website (max professional) or bitbucket.

More like the Twitter of code hosting. Everybody ignores you.

What is your goal? What industry do you want to get into? Within is fine for linking to on your resume, idk why these peckerheads think you're trying to get famous on within. Github is fine

I just mean I'll use this to host my code and shit, then if someone wants to see what kind of work I've done I can show something.

I already have a low level cyber security job, but want to be software developer instead. I feel like I would enjoy that more.

Here's 2 cents from someone with an actual job in the biz - yes, Github protfolio is useful because recruiters/HR departments have discovered the idea. But don't just fork some random project and change the README, when I interview someone that has a Github I will read your code and ask you to explain how it works. And it better build.

Oh well that's kinda obvious. I'm going to make all my projects from scratch.

But I need ideas. What kind of projects would look good in a portfolio?

OK. What field? Web dev? Embedded systems? Front end design? Fucking database management/report generation? Desktop application develop!sent? Do you have a language or topic you're into? "Software developer" is as vague as "engineer".

either web apps or desktop apps

To! I'm in College for cyber security. May I ask how tough and frustrating this job is? Is it easy? Do you have to deal with a lot of people?

my job isn't that technical, I mostly look at possible incoming attacks, then flag and block them. Also I have to write A LOT of reports

I would imagine in most cyber security jobs, that they will give you separate training for the job. So you won't get thrown into the job all of a sudden. You'll be fine as long as you have a descent understanding of what you're studying.

is there a repo service that isn't run by outright racists?

Make a program that searches 4chan threads/boards and generates staticstics on how many times people create cancer/meme posts.

I got directly recruited by a startup for a Ruby on Rails app I made once.

Most of the time I just get recruiter spam though.

>design software related to that kind of work

A manga reader using Electron/nodejs?

I know you can build one in 2 days or less, but clean interface is what it counts.
