Basically, you use a lot of matrix and vectoring. It is not by accident that you call small codes an "algorithm"

The one on the left does god knows what, the one on the right just returns the larger of two numbers but it has two weird mistakes:
>else if(a > b && b < a)
This returns "true" if a is more than b and b is less than a, and that's stupid because if one is true then obviously the other is true.
>return 5
This will only happen if the two numbers are exactly the same size, when what should be returned is either a or b.
The best way to write the code would be:
if(a < b) return b;
else return a
All her code compressed into two lines, AND it returns the correct result if the two numbers are the same size.

You have to develop an innate passion for Math.
I used to hate Math, took Medicine as a sort of preconstructed career path back in High School, but took Engineering in College. Almost stopped out because the Math was intense. I took my time and actually read through concepts, had some math-savvy friends help me along the way and I realized it isn't that bad after all, so I continued progress and I legitimately liked what I was studying.
I will never get people who hate math related courses because it's "hard." You just need to understand underlying concepts and principles and do some drills and it will stick with you for a long time. Compare it to other courses that people take to avoid math like Law and Medicine which I think are way more troublesome because of the sheer volume of knowledge you have to consistently drill in your head for hours on end.
Lucky for you there are YouTube channels like Khan Academy and PatrickJMT to teach college level algebra and calculus in easily digestible videos, back then you really had to dig in books

As someone who is just above functionally retarded when it comes to math and science, it was honestly a matter of the teachers I had and the way they taught things. I remember taking Physics and it wasn't until near the very end of the semester that it "clicked" with me that you treat every problem as a puzzle. You do certain things first that translate into equations and slowly piece them together. If someone would have just said that at the beginning, I wouldn't have had any trouble to begin with. People that can simplify it like you do are a gift to a world full of idiots like me, and I thank you for it.

basic AI programming only requires you to know anything you need to program in the first place, that is, logic and Boolean algebra
AI in games is mostly just bunch of states and functions executed at specific state values

the hardest part is to think about what should your AI do (shoot when close enough? when it sees a target? combination of both? should it run at low health or go frenzy?), constructing an AI doesn't have much to do with math, implementation of behaviour (for example, movement in 3D space, searching for target) requires much more knowledge than that

You dont need to go that far in math, its easy, unless you are some type of fuck up who can't even pass pre-calc.

If it was anything like my high school, you were only required to take math up to like algebra 2 or pre-cal, but there were also AP and dual credit classes like calculus, trig, and statistics you could take that were supposed to prepare you for college.

FINANCE a car. If I had fat stacks of money laying around it would be no problem. But I need a car to get to work and I need to work to get money for a car.
APR, how to get a loan, credit factors, whether I get the loan first or go to a dealership and apply there, how to get the lowest monthly payment without making the pay period too long, etc

whether you:
claim to be better than everyone for being good at math
claim to hate the education system because they made you learn math
or
claim to hate the education system because they dont teach math the way you think is best
you are abominable and should reevaluate your importance to this world.
if you want to learn new math, then you are actually a good person in this thread. thank you for making this not a complete and utter circlejerk.
fuck all else of you. you are stating obvious truths and simplicities without proposing rational solutions, or giving any valid reasoning. it's just disgusting. this is the type of person i have to deal with all of the time in the math world. fucking autists who see everything in facts and find no interest in making meaningful conversation.
>>337184965
Try learning python. Most of what you'll use at a beginner level is basic math skills, general algebra, and boolean algebra(sounds intimidating but its not that hard to pick up what you need to know). The rest is general logic.
>>337184327
But you can make music without knowing theory. A lot of people do it every day because you can literally make music "by ear." No matter what instrument you play or move to the notes and octaves, give or take a few for some unique instruments, stay the same. It's just a matter of execution at that point. You can't just wing it with math and apply the exact same rules for Algebra as you would with Geometry just because they both share numbers or letters.

"?" is a tertiary operator.
condition ? true : false
Check if a > b.
Yes? Return a.
No? Return b.

Basically the school's objective was to graduate as many students as possible, quality not considered.
THis was from a recent year, a GOOD year.

you're doing art, idiot.
if you did any engineering 3d modeling, which I do, you would use at least some math.
if you worked on any MEANINGFUL part of a game, you would use math.

What do you define as math? What should I learn to meet your standards?
I don't want to learn the equation for what makes a flower grow at a specific angle due to the peer pressure from gravity relative to the cuck size of the moon. I don't see any practical use in that.
>>337185110
Depends on what the highest level math you took was. I took a couple years off after high school and am currently doing a math-based major at university. I studied up to a pre-calc level before starting classes, because anything lower than that doesn't count towards any degree.
I recommend Tobey and Slater algebra to get you up to a pre-calc level. For pre-calc and trigonometry, I recommend Swokowski. For calculus I used Stewart Calculus, but it was difficult to understand, and I wouldn't recommend using that without an instructor. you can torrent most of these books or get them for very cheap (except calc+, even used books tend to be expensive then) off amazon. like $10 cheap.

>but I steer away from bloated and slow OOP shit that it tends to be. I can also do Python (kek as if that means anything) and a little bit of Java.
This sounds like 90% of /g/, aka "I've never actually written software for a living"
Language purism is misguided as fuck.

>I just don't have any motivation to do anything period in my life.
This. Sex/family isn't a motivator. Money isn't really a motivator beyond a basic 40k/year. And I'm not passionate about anything but like to dip casually into everything. Just feels like I thought life was going to be something else and now I'm just waiting to die without wanting to kill myself and without wanting to know death either.

TFW your diagnosed math disability ensured you would never take a math course in 6 years of college.

this thread is the embodiment of autism. i should just go back to /int/ and never leave. at least i can enjoy the memes there, they're more creative.
>People actually think that making games is only programming.
If you didn't know, it's only the programming part of making games that requires any math, all the more important and other stuff like 3D modeling and such requires zero math knowledge.
>>337185025
>>Work at a big gaming studio doing 3D models and such.
Oh yeah, 3d models and such.
Is that your official job description, fella? Are there some days where some other people handle the 3D models and you're just in charge of the 'and such'?
>>337185515
That's because you never learned properly while you were still growing.
>he fell for the programming meme
>>337180021
This was me and I managed to graduate! Took me 5 years but I did it. I was fine with the discrete mathematics but they totally neglect to tell you that you are doing like 75% of the coursework as if you majored in Mathematics. (most of my CS buds graduated with degrees in Mathematics as well)
>>337185505
that sucks anon. I'm the anon you're replying to and I lived in Texas, which is supposed to have a reputation for shitty education or something. Your state must be even worse or your school just didn't give a fuck.

>>337185620
just dont be self righteous about being good at / being bad at / thinking you know how to teach math
i don't care whether you learn it or not
but there's an objective good WHENEVER someone says "im bad at this thing, i want to be better" whether it's math, art, music, or anything.
I love discrete mathematics and symbolic logic. Even if you don't think you're a fan of math try those classes at least.

Yes
Computer science major at my university required a shitton of math classes, way more than other school as I found out later once I actually got a job. I've never needed to dip into anything beyond Calc I in my career besides that time I made a Turing Machine simulator.

They closed the school down like last year, and split it up into like 3 smaller ones.

Sufficiently advanced art becomes mathematical as well. 90% of the most famous paintings are composed around the fibonacci sequence.

I only took financial accounting so far and it isn't really a lot of math. Its more so business logic when it comes to credits and debits for a ledger.
Does it get more math intense than fucking ratios and adding and subtracting?
>>337185853
When the common man can get his hands on the tools of his practiced, trained superiors, that will always become the case for any art or medium.
I don't want to be a programmer, but I want to work with computers, like IT or some shit.
Should I get an IT degree, or man up and do CS?

if you compare toby foxes' pixel shit to the artistry of people who made music theory what it is today, you can only see a pile of heaping trash next to some absolutely exquisite ART.
Not some stupid video game background music.
You're blinded by the nostalgia that the music introduces. I used to love it. Came to realize it was c tier when i went back to music i liked.

Better than me, anon. I just reply "science". I'm going for a bio degree, and originally intended to go to med school, but after 3 years I'm not feeling up to it anymore. I'll get stuck teaching for shit pay or doing research for $30,000 a year if I'm lucky.

Well, I have bad and good news for you
The bad news is that your job is going to be automated within ~5 years
The good news is you'll probably get basic income when accountants, and their families, throw an everloving shitfest once their jobs get automated.
