    It wouldn't be hard to write.

    Just give a points value on certain rules and then number of points gives a strength rating.

    ie

    at least one number and character = 1 point
    min 6 characters = 1 point
    at least 1 non number/non char = 1 point
    no consecutive letters/consecutive numbers = 1 point
    if you know the person dob then check that isn't in it = 1 point
    no repeated numbers = 1 point

    especially if its a college project

    whoever marks it would rather see something you've obviously thought about than something you've "found" and applied
