" In an educational environment, students should not only be able to learn from source code, but they should be encouraged to play with it, modify it, and be able to give the product of their endeavors away. That way, their modifications can played with, modified, and shared by others to the benefit of everyone. Everyone has the opportunity to scrutinize, modify, and (most importantly) share with everyone else. I find it hard to imagine an environment more conducive to the sharing of information...aka education."
I havent heard of any uni in which the above is allowed.
This is probably too advanced for beginners course, but we recently had an assignment to implement Gomoku(5 in a row tic-tac-toe) played on a 31*31 board as part of an AI unit. The goal was to use proper search startegies like minimax, alpha-beta pruning. To make it a bit more fun, the lecturer added some weired rules to it.
Have a look at www.computing.edu.au/unitpages/ami251.

I am inclined to agree with your prog. Most of us are really programmers not computer scientists.
