I like dmich's idea of programming a game. There is also https://github.com/oakes/play-clj which gives more freedom and even provides a simple IDE that is used for clojure trainings by the author of play-clj. I liked the presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GzzFeS5cMc

@vschepik: i don’t think that dmich meant to make a game, but I think it’s a good idea

@quentin i had some nice experience with learning functional game programming by reading How to Design Programs, 2nd ed., and doing the exercises in Racket/Scheme
