Re: Game Creation
Going to math class does not teach you what a variable is in the programming sense. Not unless we're talking about some languages which are so far outside this discussion that we need the Hubble telescope to see them. Going to math class does not, in general, make you a better programmer. Programming makes you a better programmer, and there are no shortcuts.
Going to math class does give you a wide variety of useful math things you can make use of and the highest levels of math wherein you make proofs for almost every homework question may promote the right mindset. But math is orthogonal to being able to write a program. These concepts either come from a programming class, a teacher or friend, or a programming tutorial aimed at one who has never programmed before. You can get some of it by osmosis as it were-watching the discussions of others online-but you can't just innately be a programmer as is being suggested here. Tha
t doesn't happen; no matter how good you are, you got the basic concepts from somewhere else at some point.
Second languages? No problem. Fifth languages? An hour with the reference manual. But the first one is a very big struggle, and you do need external help aimed at someone in your situation of one sort or another.
