This project seems very fun. It would be interesting to make, for example, a life simulator with various species of animal-bots competing for survival, making use of evolutionary algorithms. Another fun idea would be to create a bot that navigates a maze with various search strategies. I'd be happy to brainstorm more ideas with you and let you pick what you find the most interesting.
I have a Computer Science degree, and am currently taking my master degree in Game Technology. My specialization is AI for video games. I will deliver efficient and clean code, with comments and explanations, and even detailed documentation if needed.
