I was in the exact same situation as you. It depends on your past
programming experience. I knew Assembly and C and wanted to learn C++. I
first started a simple physics simulation "game". It showed bunch of
balls bouncing on the screen. Then I turned it into a 3D path tracing
renderer.

So: write a rendering engine!

Writing a chess engine was also fun.
