Clearly your parents are some of the worst people on the planet if they raised you to go into Game Design. Game Design is not something you learn out of education, it's something you learn out of modding, out of making levels in a map editor, out of sound and music theory, out of passion.

You know what, you're just a lazy slob of shit who all you do instead of working hard you complain. You are literally SJW.
I have a friend in the same school who ran away with his boyfriend. Literally ran and had 30 quid to start with.
Now he's top of his class working his ass off and his 1st year work rivals that of 3rd years. He came form a poor family of knobheads just like you.
Instead he works his ass of and on his spare time complains about people like you.


Even I get jobs whenever I have downtime to take some financial burden off my parents.

Do you?

it converts a number to string and then checks whether string starts with '-'

other than the fact that it does not free the allocated memory, and that the range of single-precision floating point number greatly exceeds the allocated 20 digits, or the fact that it does not check edge cases (-0.0 vs 0.0) it could work for a very small, specific subset of floats

Task is to multiply a number a given amount of times without using the * operator. Since multiplication is essentially addition X number of times, the idea is to take the variable "a" and add another "a" X times. However, instead of using a loop, a sort of built-in ability to tell the program how many times to perform an action, she hard-coded (bad idea) 10 different cases for multipliers instead. If I wanted "a * 11", it literally would not be able to do this.

If you're taking a bitch major. Any stem major at my school has to take 15-17 credits a semester, and the homework alone doubles how much time you have to spend in regards to school. If you wanted a 4.0 or close to it, you'd have to study a couple of hours a day, as well.

If you were studying sociology or Spanish or something I could understand it, but if your degree is meaningful, don't expect to work more than 20 hours a week and do well.

I go to community college. My grades aren't so bad, and im in for a Game Programming major. It'll be my second year in September.

Thing is though, I want to make games now. Like, practice. I have no idea how to code with any language though. I've yet to take a "computer science" class because i haven't passed mat-048 yet, which i will after summer classes.

I feel like i'm a bit behind. It's probably because of my incompetence, but I also feel like i should change my major to Computer Science.

I just really want to learn coding.
Is it too late to change my major?

It's not too late, it's just whether or not it's worth it.
And I'm telling you, it's not worth it to go to class for game design, you should simply be focusing on learning some type of computer skills that can help you with the game designing.

And then aside from that, you will never, ever, ever make a game because you went to school for it.
You can study it for years, and not make a single thing, why? Because you need.
Creativity
Ideas
Passion
Literally, nothing you know matters if you're not creative enough, if you don't have any ideas and if you don't love what you're doing.
Every fellow game designer I know has been making games since they were kids. Starting for fun on shit like Flash or Gamemaker, then taking it seriously and upgrading to shit like unity and unreal. To even going as far as making their own custom engines.

Unless you like this, and have ideas for it that you are passionate about creating, there is no point anon. Liking video games doesn't make you a game designer, the same way liking food wont make you a chef.

I've been animating since I was 11 (21 now), starting with pivot. It's because of that that I am here now, with 0 college degree or anything, and I can use 2D and 3D animation software better than tons of people who've gone to school for it. I have experience in modelling and animation, and it's just a matter of putting work into a portfolio, for me to get my career going. But I can do it, I have the know how and inclination, purely because I did it for fun almost all my life. And yes, all this will go into game designing, as animation and modelling and whatnot are pretty much the second half of a game. Lucky for me, i have tons and tons of ideas.
Only thing holding me back is poverty (still live with mom and dad and I have to grind to be on my own in this fucking city) and depression.
Hopefully getting /fit/ makes me motivated again.
Just don't waste time and money in school for this shit, you have the internet m8.

You have no choice but to kill your parents to save your games.
