Inspiration problem.

I am having trouble being inspired to create projects. Are there resources for this?

Everything can be a programming problem if you try hard enough. I had the most fun growing up by coding up really useless things and I learned a lot by doing it. Like, a soundboard to annoy my friends in voice chat with. I looked up how to move the on screen mouse pointer so I could draw smooth curves in the game line rider. Or, take a face pic of my friend and programmatically make wonky gifs from it. Try to generate cool looking images that utilize every single possible rgb color. Mod GTA V so there are cars raining from the sky. In Javascript specifically, WebAudio has given me hundreds of hours of coding inspiration. Once you are writing some toy projects, five different ideas for other projects will pop into your head and you'll end up with this ever growing project list that you'll never be able to finish :)

there's no resource on how to find inspiration, like in game development, if you wanna know about game industry you gotta play a lot genre's to get the inspiration. sooo i guess in this case, kinda weird to say, lookup other people's projects on github

Hi! are you suitable for online resources where you will perform logical tasks with automatic verification of your code?

if you have already reached the level where you can solve most logical problems and they do not inspire you, then yes, then it's time for you to take up mini projects and medium projects

Coding Kitty I'd call that a resource. Thank you!

Ярослав Вернигора(Yaroslav Vernigora) that sounds like Angular, however are you suggesting that simply performing logical tasks under the right circumstances could be inspiring?

Schindlabua starting with toys sounds like a step adjacent to gamification. I'm going to see what I can do with that! Ярослав Вернигора(Yaroslav Vernigora) it's just the hello world projects. Logic is fine and fun (like the julia fractals, quantum chess, or even trig) Compare the millennium problems to the code coaches and I think you'll start to see where "yet another word problem" ends. I'll start thinking of that gap as "medium projects" though. Great idea.
