Here are some challenges for you to try when you don't feel like making a full game.  Completing them will help you to build skills that you can use to make your games better.

They are split into easy, medium or hard difficulty levels.  Try to complete each challenge yourself before downloading a solution.  Remember there will often be several different ways to solve the same problem.
