If you don't have any plans for this weekend, how about participating in the Ludum Dare game jam?

You get 48/72 hours to make a game according to the theme. You can use any (or no) game engine, work alone or in a group, use pre-existing code/assets or not. At the end, participants will rate your game and provide feedback comments.

The strictest form of the competition, the "Compo" is 48h, you work solo, make everything from scratch (if possible) and publish the source code.

I've been participating in LD on and off for many years now. The compo is a risk-free limited-scope event that helped me develop and hone skills like prototyping, time management, and overall creativity. Also, if you're not already a game developer, it's a great opportunity to code something "fun" and different.
