In C? Really? Why not use a language more naturally suited?
Because the OP asked for things to do in C, presumably as training
projects. Text-adventure games are ideal.
The OP didn't give a very good indication of his level of ability.
The advantage of an adventure is that it is something you can make pretty
simple or pretty complicated, depending on your ambitions.
It is also something you can give to your little brother to play, as first
fruits of your programming activity. It is much more difficult to make a
usable payroll program.
However I do take Ben's point. The task maybe doesn't show off C's strengths
to the best.
