Want To Make Video Games?

Posted by timothy on from the admission-via-deathmatch dept.

Invader Zim writes "Looks like Levelord, of Ritual fame, and some folks at id, and Ensemble Studios have teamed together with Southern Methodist University to create a new school for people that want to work in the video games industry. It's called the Guildhall. Also a story about it at GameTutorials."

    You can't have talent without math, you need to possess the ability to look at a problem and break it down to the simplest possible form, then take it one step further to make it fast.
    I find it amazing that many of the people in the computer business have no clue when it comes to math, you don't need to have the ability to solve on paper, but you should be able to write a program to solve that equation, and to tweak that equation to make it "look" right. Reality for some reason doesn't look all that real sometimes.
