name a more challenging field of programming than videogame programming.
Aerospace embedded software development.

You can't use computers in space because of radiation.
>>55590443
ok

>implying there is such a thing as videogame programming anymore
They just use engines to do everything. The engine designers are the true talent.
Programming graphical user interfaces with machine code.
>>55589899
Development of certain GIS or medical applications.
Requires the same knowledge but more domain specific knowledge.
>>55590473
That's clearly a fake picture. Have you heard of The Photo Shop?
CFD algorithm programming
>>55590425
videogae programming has to do all the same shit but optimized to run on consumer grade rather than NASA grade hardware
>>55592224
Videogames doesn't kill people or lose billions for a single bug, they are intentionally released with thousand of bugs.
>>55589899
Anything to do with Hardware Definition Language (VHDL, Verilog).
Got bugs ? You're screwed.

Computer vision.

It only seems that hard from the outside. I never go on coding sprints or deal with agile programming; writing code without bugs isn't a matter of being incredibly good at engineering, it's about testing and code reviews.

Depends. Are you talking about programming video games or building games like Legos in Unity?

Dude NASA/Aerospace hardware is old reliable shit that's been tested for a decade. You can't just tell the user to "upgrade their CPU," you work with what you've got and have to actually optimize your software.
Plus if your vidya crashes you won't die and lose multimillion-dollar equipment.
Video game development is harder than webdev and CRUD shit but unless you're talking about netcode type things, it's not that bad compared to real CS topics. Especially if you get someone else to develop the engine for you like most developers.

old video games are surprisingly solid

Computational Fluid Dynamics

>all of this is usually convecting
>governing laws have no closed-form solution
>need graduate-level understanding of fluid dynamics to even attempt something more complicated than 2D
video game programming isn't as easy as web stuff, but it's still for chumps by comparison
>>55594108
the fact that it has no closed form solution means that it's normally basically just a simulation which is not that hard.

>>55589899
Video game programming is usually pretty easy unless you are talking about the graphics shit, which is obviously much more difficult.

Also game developers get shit pay.
