Hi Bryan, Well, math is only one part of creating games. Programming games is probably the most complicated type of program to create as it involves knowledge in several different fields of study. If you want the game to be realistic you will need to have some skills in math and physics. If your game is going to have computer generated enemies then you need to know something about artificial intelligence. If you plan to do online multiplayer games then you need to have an understanding of networking and network programming. If you are going to use TTS in your games then you need to understand something about Sapi. The list can go on and on about the various SDKs, APIs, and various techniques required to put one game together. It is by no means something that is learned quickly or easily.
