Hi Josh,
The best answer is proof you completed a course and with what grade
point average. Think about it. If an employer has two programmers
applying for the job and both don't have degrees, but they list what
online courses they took through the internet. How does the employer
know what
training from
other randomly willing people, w3schools and trial and error and exciting
goals.

Hi Ari,
I don't know if you consider my games very advanced or what, but I never
took any higher math than algebra in high school. Actually I never even
graduated high school. But I sure do have
Hi Josh,
It is certainly a possibility. I've been looking into the possability of
creating XBox 360 titles, but the only hastle at this point is that the
XBox sound library tool Xact is very unaccessible. That is a huge
problem since XNA requires that volumes, panning, 3D positioning, etc is
Hi ari.
there seems to be a lot of routes through these things. A friend of mine did
a degree in philosophy (how we met), but then through learning programming
languages himself, went on to do an msc in computer science, and now
developes those information business systems you mentioned.

Hi Dark,
It's not about time, it's about the problems here, because the University
doesn't have a gap course which can help him if he never did Physics at
school, and the problem is that, unfortunately here there isn't a place
which can do such advanced stuff in braille if he wants to do the
Actually Jim, I think what you've just said is probably some of the most
encouraging stuff for someone like him, because I think many people, even
myself had this notion that you need to be this absolute BSC-type, flying
through a whole degree in college type of person. I'll talk to him about
Hi Ari,
No, a person does not need a college degree in computer science to learn
to program games. You can usually learn that stuff on the internet if
you know where to get the materials, and if you can find a language that
you can understand. I know Jim Kitchen uses Visual Basic 6, because for
Hey,
Well I'm 12 and don't know much about algebra, and I seem to be doing
okay with SDM? In fact SDM doesn't use much algebra, lots of checks
and variables and what not. Could I move to C or C++ or Java? Well,
it'd be to hard... you also sonetimes need to use special libraries
that are hard to

if you wanted to couldn't you?

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
Hi Ari,
Well, as you pointed out earlier that is a bit of a tricky question.
Though, I think I can offer a pretty good answer for most of your questions.
First, an Information Systems degree usually deals with working with
databases and managing web sites. When I was in college our B.I.S.
ah thanks Thomas, so it's probably then ok for him to do the BIS and then
just read up books on games programming, because, as I've said earlier, he
unfortunately can't choose courses out of degrees, the BSC is a fixed degree
and he just doesn't have the science and physics to be able to do
