Game Programming Careers

ACAC · 2004-03-09T08:04:14

Ive been programming for about 2-3 years now, im fairly good at C++ and other languages. I do want to pursue a career in games programming but im just not good at maths, it just doesnt come easy to me if i were to even learn somthing simple id have to sit for hours trying to understand.. So my question is, what kind of careers in games programming dont require alot of maths? And what should i improve on and do to increase my chances of a carreer in games programming? Because otherwise im stuck programming things i can allready do!. Regards Ash. [edited by - ACAC on March 6, 2004 7:01:23 AM]

Most of the game industry programmer entrance-tests focus on a lot of math anyway. So you''d be better off knowing it. Linear Algebra and Trig''s kung fu is best.

do unto others... and then run like hell.

Basiror may have the solution for you. Learn math. Seriously. Take it easy and go make to the level that you started feeling lost and ground yourself on those topics till you no longer feel lost. If you realize that you are still missing something go back even further.
