Undergraduate project level

My proposal for writing a vector-based 2D animation software in C++ for undergraduate project work (Computer Science and Engineering) was rejected. I was told that it is simple to do. I consider it otherwise.

I would like to hear all your opinions on this.
Do you think it is a simple project?
In your place, would such a project be accepted by universities?
How difficult are your usual undergraduate projects?

Please give reasons and if you are willing, your country too.

Your description of your proposed project is rather vague. Can you provide some more detail? Generally 2D systems are easier than 3D systems but any kind of animation software is generally difficult.

It'll be something along the lines of Anime Studio. It won't be that complex with all those functionalities but it'll have the basic features like tweening, morphing, skeletal animation, possibly some camera movements and of course drawing.

Hmm, well that doesnt seem to easy to me. I've never heard of a undergrad project being like that. Is this a capstone?

@RedSon
Why do you say that? Could you please give some more detail?
I mean, is there something that is typical of undergrad projects? Are the projects supposed to have something that mine lacks?

Also, do you think mine would be accepted by your universities?

@RedSon
I've never heard of a capstone project until now and I'm sure no one over here knows about it too. So at least officially it isn't.

The type of large project would typically be considered as a capstone. A capstone is a project that you do at the very end of your university career. It is the last major project that you work on to achieve your degree. It is a project that the student designs for themselves. I've seen some capstones that are fun like motion capture projects, and I've seen capstones that try to integrate bluetooth and keyless fob entry into vehicles that save your preferences for you. For some examples you can see current capstones at my university here: http://www.cs.washington.edu/educati...t/Capstone.htm.

The project you are thinking about working on seems like a large project for an undergrad. I would expect this more from a graduate student or a senior undergrad.

Each university will have different requirements. That project seems rather large and complex so I'm surprised that it wasn't accepted as an undergrad project. I would talk to the person/committee in charge of accepting the project and find out exactly why yours wasn't accepted. It could turn out that they weren't fully aware of what you want to accomplish. Do a little bit of research and show them exactly how much would be involved in such a project.
