Hi Muhammed, Well, to answer your question, I'd have to say it takes a lot of skill to program and produce games. Especially if we are talking about programming them from scratch as I do. If you have ever tried Philip Bennefall's BGT Toolkit that's getting off pretty easy to put it mildly. First you have to know a programming language like C++, and know it fairly well before even thinking about games. Then, you have to learn how to use any number of APIs such as OpenAL or DirectX to include them in your game. That takes quite a while to learn in of itself. Depending on the type of game you will most likely have to have some skill in geometry, trig, and calculous. Basic algebra is essential for any programming as you will be doing very common Algebra type calculations like z = x+y when programming. If you aren't exactly great at math then programming games isn't necessarily for you, and that's just the basics. There is a whole world of programming theory and techniques a person can learn. I by no means know it all, but if you want to delve into something like artificial intelligence that is an unbelievably indepth programming subject in of itself. There have been dozens of volumes written on that very topic alone. So you tell me if programming games takes skill. Grin.
