I am affraid that even the good-enough level takes me too long. So far I am contemplating practicing once a week on projects like those listed here: https://github.com/jorgegonzalez/beginner-projects Unfortunately, when I read through them, they look slightly below the difficulty level I am targeting, but I guess first I learn to run, then I learn to run uphill :) But if you had good samples to recommend, I'd like to hear them.

I started a game clone challenges[1] list, but haven’t had much time to work on it. Some more project related resources are awesome-for-beginners[2], The UChicago X-Projects[3], and Beginner Projects[4]. 1. https://github.com/rby90/Game-Clone-Challenges 2. https://github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beginners 3. http://chi.cs.uchicago.edu/index.html 4. https://github.com/jorgegonzalez/beginner-projects
