If you like programming puzzles, I also recommend trying to write the littlemancomputer programs listed on this blog entry: https://blog.paulhankin.net/littlemancomputer/

They are fun in the same way as TIS-100 is fun, and especially the last couple (generate primes, sort input) are interestingly difficult.
