Examples: 
Recreated a version of the text game Hunt The Wumpus. Then in the next iteration, changed the game logic to a 2d representation of the game. After that, created a final 3d representation of the game, using the same back end of code.

Programmed the inner workings of a piped grep function in a two-person team by implementing 4 POSIX threads. Completed this task using C++ in both an IDE and vim.

Created a Java application that calculated and animated all of the lines that form nth-order Bezier Curves, while also including user defined points, order, and animation speed.

For the bezier curve java program, I programmed this animation from the wikipedia article on bezier curves. However, the program used different user-selected orders of the bezier curve using multiple user-selected points:
