Hi Josh,
No, programming is not Algebra, but math plays heavily into game
creation. Especially, when calculating the angle and speed of an
object as it is moving through 2d or 3d space along a certain
trajectory. If you add realistic physics into the mix some Calculus
may be needed to calculate the various forces of resistance etc as
that object travels along its trajectory. That is why a good
background in math is so important for an aspiring programmer, because
you need to be able to perform multiple calculations when creating
games.
Cheers!

well like I said before I did good in pre-algebra and ok in algebra 1.
and the geometry class I took went fine and I enjoyed that but needed
help because someone had to draw the shapes for me so I could do the
work and sometimes I needed a bit of help with that also. I did read an
article on the internet and they said programming is not algebra.
they're two different things but sometimes use the same concepts such as
variables and x and y coordinates.
