School Project

Hi-
My name is Matthew Johnson and I live in Kuwait. I am currently in the
10th grade, and in my geometry class, we have been assigned a project to
research an occupation that applies geometry. Being a video game addict,
I immediately chose "video game programmer" as my topic. I came across
your extremely informative website and was just wondering if it would be
possible to answer some questions:



  How many years did you attend school to be able to master video game
programming?

Is it really worth all of those hard years of college and schooling to
be able to create a video game?

How long does it take to create a video game for an 128-bit system like
the Sega Dreamcast?

Is it worth these hours to make a video game from scrap?

Did high school geometry; that of parallel and perpendicular lines,
rhombus’ and triangles, really help you to get where you are today?

Are there points in your career when you want to go and visit your high
school geometry teacher and thank him/her?

    Thank you very much for your time; it is highly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Matthew Johnson
