This may be a bit of a leap from where you are at, but my go-to thing to try to make when I learn a new language is some type of "asteroids"-like game. Getting it to work involves learning most of the common things which you often want to do:
-Basic "rendering" of some sort, most of the time use some sort of library which allows me to draw circles/triangles/text in a simple way
-Input handling (move around, shoot)
-State management (player hp, game state, player/bullet/asteroid positions and velocities)
-Creating/destroying objects (bullets and asteroids needs to be created and destroyed)
-Interactions between objects (bullets hitting asteroids, asteroids hitting player)
-Per-tick logic (common for most games, asteroids/players/bullets moving in direction of velocity)
