What kind of prgramming should i take to become a video game designer?

I’m just curious to know what kind of programming I should take to become a video game designer. All the info you can get would be good! Thanks!

I love mapping you should take mapping were you take turf and place on to the map (need to know a little a bit of stuff about it first though)

What would be a good way to early in the video game development?

Hi, I am only 14 so I am aware of getting High-tech programs like C++ and other softwares’ that big companies use would be crazy, but I thought that I’d start with something simple like flash games. You know like the popular ones seen on websites and such. I was wondering if you think that would be good place to start and tell me where and how I could create those flash games.

i had a quick question on computer game design?

is it an easy course… ROP computer game design… i’m taking it for the first time, and i am not sure whether i should stay with it or choose another course…i am kinda computer guy… i mena i know shizz bout computers and all, but i have never tried to design a game..
is it hard/easy… HELP ME>>>>>

It depends really on whether you can think logically or not.

If you can’t think logically, you may find it hardish.

If you can think logically, you may find it easy.

But for each person it is different, as it depends on the person.

If it is a basic game design course, and you know something about programming, it should not be that hard.

The part that may get hard is designing 3D games, as you may need to know a lot of maths to be able to do it. That is, making 3D graphics is pretty much maths based.

Academic path to get into video game design?

I’m really interested in getting into some area of video game design, but it’s so broad that I’m not sure how to narrow it down.

Is a a video game "degree" actually worth it, or is it a joke in the industry? Right now I’m taking a mix of computer science classes and art classes, but I’ve only just begun college so I can still move around a bit. Where would a computer science degree put me in the industry? A graphic design degree? Any help at all is much appreciated! Thanks!

A "video game design" degree is considered a joke. Also, as a practical matter, the industry is moving overseas.

If you have a general interest in programming and computers, a degree in Computer Engineering Technology might be best.
