Just another bit in the byte

Jesus, I am jealous. Back in my day, they only offered Basic, VB6, and Javascript. Also technically C++, but not enough students signed up for it since it was an elective, so I had to take it post secondary.

Hmm, now when you say Computer Science classes, do you mean Computer Science topics taught using Java or mostly just teaching the Java language. If the former, which concepts have you covered?

We covered recursion, searching, sorting, and some of the Collections API last year (mostly to prepare for the AP exam). This year we have already covered Regex, Trees, Maps, and Sets. This is all in Java, but the teacher plans to teach us Haskell later in the year.

Have you looked into spatial data structures like Quadtrees, Octrees, R-trees, and K-d trees? Along those lines how about Z-order curves and Hilbert Curves?

I have not. Do you have a good resource to learn those from?

I do not. I usually start at Wikipedia and then explore google limiting my searches to .edu for computer science professors' online resources.

Another possible direction is procedurally generated art. For that I do have a link:
