Hi all, This is quite a tricky question, I suppose this goes to our developers like Thomas. I have a friend who, his situation is a bit tricky, in that he's not sure what to do, he wants to develop Information Systems for businesses, but he would also like to try his hand at games developing. Now, his problem is this, to get into the bsc of computer science, you need maths and science, but he didn't do science at school, so he can't get into the BSC. Some people say that you need physics to be able to program games, to like understand speeds and distances and things, but is this really necessary? Instead of doing a BSC, he can do a diploma in IT at a college, or, at the uni, he can do a BCom in Information Systems. If he were to do the Information Systems BCom, would the programming which he would pick up, where he would learn to make Information Systems, be OK for him to develop, even maybe some basic games? I know he'd like to do the BCOM, as his main goal is to develop business systems, but do you think he'd be able to also develop games and programs with it? I'm unfortunately not sure what the diploma in IT teaches, but is a BSC really necessary to understand things like Artificial Intelligence or to program computer games? Sorry, I know this sounds a bit confused, but, basically, I think what I want to know is, do you really need a top-of-the-range BSC in computer science to be a good games developer. He has enough maths to do a diploma in IT, or a BCom Information Systems, but his physics and science is really not good. Ari
