If i wanted to learn how to make simple games, maybe for ios or android, make programs (maybe software?) and maybe websites? and hopefully program a terminator one day too

Do i go to school or is this something i can learn myself through simple c#? I don't know much about programming.

If i go to school, do i have to learn something about programming? or would they teach me from square one? i mean i know a little bit, but not enough to make the simpliest of programs.
Do i gotta be good at math? or can i just use a calculate for most of this shit?

the good news is you dont need to change your career just to pick up a hobby. you also dont need to go to school.

the bad news is you're gonna have to learn a lot on your own.

thanks careblanche, ive been reading alot of posts on here and you seem to be "they guy" for wisdom. I found a place on the forums called "codeacademy" you think this will get me started? enough to learn c# and make simple programs?

I know multiple people with various college majors who have been starting code academy for various languages and have said it's been pretty helpful, so that's probably a pretty good place for you to start. If nothing else it'll give you some basic understanding of the programming mentality so to speak. Then once you have a good grasp on the basics (I think code academy only teaches basics, I might be wrong though) you can start to seek specifically the more advanced stuff that caters to what you want to do (android apps, web games, etc)

if you are learning by yourself, get unity and playmaker, my friend learned and programmed a game in a week (he is no programmer at all) the first time he used playmaker.
its not pure programming, its like premade scripts that do stuff and you just assign them to your objects and games link/modifiy them as you wish, it may not make you a programmer, but you will understand the basics of programming and will be able to make a game right away !
and ofc, while you slowly learn programming you will be able to slowly not use playmaker at all until you have it right, I am not a programmer and cant you any further, but this is how I learned basic programming and can now program my own games for android/os/computer, just so I can show my work ingame
instead of on turn tables (im a level designer/ 3d modeler)

thanks guys. Yeah i'll look into unity

If you can't do math you are going to have a fun time making games that someone is going to want to play.

You should go to school for game programming (if you want a career in game programming / software development). They'll teach you everything, starting with the basics, so you don't have to know a thing about programming.

Also, there's a ton of math and physics involved with game programming, so school would be idle.

If you want to make a native app for iOS or Android, you have to learn Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android). However, if you want to make cross-platform apps, you need to learn Javascript and HTML5.
