Game Programming

Most game programming has nothing to do with writing code, the work is in graphic design. The game engine is often the same, adding different graphics plus a few minor tweaks to the game engine to make a whole new game.

And if you don't have the Sword of a Thousand Truths, don't even bother trying...
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin
I'd prefer if one of them would wield a Sword of a Thousand Original Ideas... :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You at least need to be a level 100 warlock. Level 99 might work, but it will be challenging, I would think. Consume an extra Mana Regenerate Flask, before battle. You should be fine. :thumbsup:

I would to make MMORPG game like WOW. If it's need I can use engine. And If my code knowladge is enough to writing engine I want to do that. I want to write for learning and If I can get an job about game programming it'l not be for fun. I don't understand what a game is from a programmer's point of view. On the other hand. Actually in Turkey I can't write pc video game. Because there is not any job about that. programmers from turkey usually writing web game or mobile game.

I read a few article about game programming.that articles says game programming needs good math skills. I graduated math and I want to show some game programming codes. What's level need for programming?

They were probably talking mainly about graphics, which is a large part maths. You're best getting a book on these things, or seeing if you can find tutorials, but the gist of it is that your "world" is made up of points in space that map out the objects in it. Think of a wireframe of a cube as a simple example. You will need to "move" the object around the world in such a way that if you make it bigger, or smaller, or move it left or right, or rotate it on a certain axis, that the object still looks like a cube...just a bit bigger\smallera\rotated\etc. The other thing you need to do is convert your 3d object (you will be mapping the points in 3d, they will have x, y and z axis) into a 2d object as a screen is 2d. So how do you get a 2d representation of a 3d object? The answer to all of these things is matrix multiplication. As you "graduated math" I hope I don't need to tell you what that is. Each operation you want to do on the points of an object (be it rotating, changing the size, moving it etc) has a aspecific matrix associated. So if you want to rotate something 10 degrees around the x axis you work out the correct matrix to do this, then apply it to the points and you get new points that represent the same object only rotated. There is similarly a matrix that turns a 3d point into a 2d point...so when you are done manipulating the objects in your world and you want to see what it looks like you convert the view to 2d and plot those points on screen. That's just the very very basics...that doesn't cover adding textures or filling the polygons, working out what aspects should be rendered and which aspects are hidden behind others and so on, it all gets very complicated indeed which is why people use established game engines like Unity etc to develop their games, alloying them to focus on the non-math side of things.

A game is a game is a game. You can have really good 3D games on web or mobile.
I'd rather be phishing!

For almost 20 years now the magic does not happen in the graphics engines anymore. Rendering is done by the chipset on your graphics card and writing the shaders that are used by the GPU may have to do a little with math. :-)

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
