It's hard to recommend something because almost everything that will be suggested will already have been done in some capacity. I don't know anything about you because I haven't been active whatsoever on these forums, but perhaps you should delve into some form of game development. Maybe have a look at the UDK, it should grab your interest for a while and would be suitable considering you apparent C++ background, it's an incredibly intuitive development kit if you get into it. Other than than I don't know what to suggest, I'm more of a web developer myself.
