I'm new to game programming. To people who are serious, how much is game programming dealing with graphics and how much programming the symatics and AI so forth? Edited by - DanG on October 20, 2001 2:44:00 AM Edited by - DanG on October 20, 2001 2:44:43 AM

I would have to say it depends on what type of game your going to write. If you going to write a tetris clone you just have to be able to draw blocks, make them fall, and detect when a row is completed. A 3D game on the other is much more involved when programming graphics etc. If you''re new I would suggest starting a small project and working your way up. At least that way you''ll have some Idea of what your in for when you start larger projects.
