<p>So I want to be a video game designer and I heard from people that the Practice of Art department isn't that great.</p>
<p>I have yet to meet the game designer professor.</p>
<p>Computer Science isn't my forte because I am not good at math but it would be awesome to know how to program some NPCs in a game.</p>
<p>BTW i am avoiding studio for ed11a.</p>
<p>Don’t dismiss CS just because you’re not strong in math… From what I’ve heard, a heavy math background isn’t really necessary to do well in CS classes.</p>
<p>I am just not sure because I barely took math 16a and math16b and I got okay grades for them and I just looked at the requirements for CS and i need to talk Math 1a and 1b and 54… and also I am a sophomore.</p>
<p>im in 54 and not a CS major and all she talks about is how important it is to CS. 54 isn’t like any math you’ve taken before, trust me. so if you werent fond of calculus, you might just like this stuff.</p>
<p>Yes, Linear algebra and differential… I haven’t taken differential yet but linear algebra is rather easy. :D</p>
<p>Try taking CS seminar/DeCal 
See if you like this stuff</p>
<p>I’m sure that some types of CS don’t require any higher-level math, just a good sense of logic. </p>
<p>I don’t know too much about video game design, but I don’t see how you could be a game designer without any knowledge of CS, unless you just want to be a game artist.</p>
<p>:] thanks everyone for your responses!</p>
<p>Today I was lucky enough to talk to someone who knew some stuff about comp sci and well it really sparked my interest so yeah! </p>
<p>Next semester I am planning to take some comp sci classes for sure and maybe an art class cuz I like drawing + a seminar? because X_X i am going to be a junior soon and gah im freaking out</p>
<p>As for video game design. I want to be known in the industry so i want to have some bg in comp sci and in drawing </p>
