One map, start to finish - blockout, lighting, playtesting - in a level editor or a game that ships one, from Doom to Mario Maker.
A 3D model, a sprite sheet, an animation or a sound effect, made to the size and format a real engine wants and dropped into one.
Put something finished in front of strangers, with a page, a price of your choosing and a download counter that is honest.

Fan localisation: pull the strings, translate them, fit them in a text box that was never designed for your language, and ship the patch.
Score a game, or write one chiptune track under the constraints of a real sound chip - three channels and a noise generator.
Take an app, a plugin or a piece of open source and localise it properly - the strings, the dates, the plurals - then send the translation upstream.
A cabinet with real buttons and a real stick, whether it holds an original board or a small computer running MAME.
