The reason that I say no API's is because I would like to learn what they do for me so that I can truly appreciate their use.

Tetris does sound like another good idea but I am not quite sure how to implement it.

On side scrollers it is not the scrolling but the basic layout of the game engine and some of the gameplay. I usually get to the point where I can draw things to the screen through a function that also double buffers but I do not know where to go from there.
