i hated math because i didn't knew for what it is good for. Especially Algebra because who does a+b=c in real life?
But now with the designtools and little programming I feel that i have to learn it properly. So fuck teachers who just teach math, without a purpose. -
Jijel2157y@Autism420 My dad, who did little programming in high school (it's not his job either), always told me I need math if I want to be a good programmer. I never really took him seriously, but I gave some credit to his words just because I know he always gives me good advice. Now in uni I really start to understand what he meant and I'm so thankful and glad I listened to him.

PreyK22237yYou dont actually need school math to make video games, you need math if you want to program shaders or other advanced stuff.
Also fuck this meme, autodesk makes 3D modelling stuff, you can fuck your math phd if you suck at art. If you go to a company who uses autodesk stuff for games with "i kNow math" they will say FUCK YOU! GTFO! If you suck at math but you can make cool 3d models they will hire you no questions asked.
Unity has no relaton to opengl AT ALL!!! it has a checkbox to use opengl for rendering THATS IT!!!! YOU DONT NEET TO TOUCH A FUCKIN OPENGL THING IN UNITY!!!
C++ PLEASE, FUCK OFF C++ IS C++ NOT MATH AND YOU WILL NOT START PROGRAMING WITH C++ ANYWAY, and you dont have to use c++ to make games AT ALL!
HOW THE FUCK COMES CRYENGINE AND MATH? also WHO fuck cares? cryengine, its not relevant anymore.
FUCK YOU STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS PEOPLE!!
go and make your dreams come true -
PreyK22237yTo be clear. I know math. And i love it. I will even get a tatoo about the rendering equation at the weekend. And i left school to be a game dev.

...sigh.
To be honest I can't stand math.
I personally hate it, for more than a reason.
1) My math teacher always gives negative votes to everyone, no matter what. You're lucky if you get a 6. (Here grades are measured in numbers from 1 to 10)
Also, he doesn't explain well at all, he always says things like "you see how easy this is? That's soooo easy!!".
Yeah right. If that's easy I'm fuckin... Santa Claus... idk.
2) I kind of understand how knowing math would help me in my being a programmer, but I can't stand having to learn it...
3) I just don't like math. -
@heyheni I always had that issue too. Math with no purpose is hard to maintain or remember.

bioDan56227yComputers are actually smart calculators with memory - The whole enterprise is based on math, taking theoretical math and applying it to real life machines.
Math is like the oldest and most solid programming language the human specie has ever developed.
Its based on reason, logic and truth and it seeks to represent both real life and abstract ideas.
But you don't need to know any math to build a website, however making a game is a whole different story. I cant see how you can apply logic without math. -
asgs112757y@bioDan you deserve an award for saying that Math is the oldest programming lang. That is so true and is probably the best language designed ever

Jijel2157y@bioDan wow, very well said. I'm saving this for when I need inspiration
@Gaetano96 sometime's I wonder if I was lucky with my teachers or people just tend to remember only the bad. I met bad teachers, the kind that made you afraid of attending the class, or those too bored of their life to teach you anything, hell I had a math teacher in HS that was asking us to tell jokes most of his classes, and he wouldn't teach us a single thing (we went to the chief / dean / whatever position the head of school has) and that teacher dropped our class the next semester. But I also encountered so many great teachers, especially in uni. Passionate people, lovely people that saw us, their students, as their children. And also in HS, we had this literature teacher (we learned about our country's greatest writers and their work, impirtant subject, like english, but different language). She was sick, cancer or something, very very bad condition, she was teaching us with such passion despite her disease. -
The school curriculum is very important and necessary. Even if you do not really need mathematics as a subject in the future, or in any case you think that it is not very important for you, then I hasten to disappoint you. Just read this article https://lifehacks.io/reasons-why-ma... and you will understand why you were wrong all this time. Good luck.
