Re: Math is needed!
I never learned about vectors or matrices in highschool, i only got the theory in university and i was really lost since they assumed i did learn it before. I had real problems trying to learn the theoretical parts, but once i started using them in scripting it wasn`t a problem since you don`t need to really know how to… -
Re: Math is needed!
I've been meaning to give my 2 cents here. This gif is kind of wrong because for one; Many Autodesk products require a fair amount of maths, and second "make video games," unless you specify, this conveys an understanding of you doing everything on your own to make a video game, which requires you to have an extensive… -
Re: Math is needed!
As a front-end developer I use basic algebra more than anything, followed by fraction conversions and on rare occasions trig and geometry. I agree that schools should at least give students a foundation for coding if for no other reason than to demystify the computers they use every day. Many schools offer basic web design… -
Re: Math is needed!
while i do agree that you need a basic understanding of math to code or basically do any technical art related thing i don`t think you need a deep theoretical understanding of math to start using it while coding. Personally i don`t have a very deep understanding of math but i can use vectors, matrices and their operations… -
Re: Math is needed!
I saw that a couple of days ago and couldn't disagree any more with it. You don't need math to develop games, not even "advanced" games. Sure, if you're coding a game engine or doing any other type of low level graphics programming, then yeah math knowledge will help. Those positions do not make up the majority of game dev… -
Re: Math is needed!
Yeah I've struggled with math all my life... more so once I decided to take up game programming. As an artist I think linear algebra comes in handy when creating shaders, but with node based editors it's easy enough to just fiddle around until things look right. Stanford's Machine Learning and AI courses really opened my…
