   Future in Game Design, a question or two
  1. Well, I'm going to go for a 4  year college that offers a degree in Computer Science. To get into a college such as that, do you need prior programming experience?2. How many programming languages do you know? How long did it take you to learn your first language?   
  Game Design and Game Programming are not the same thing. To answer your questions, though:1) No, you don't. A strong grasp of math is important, though.2) I have a pretty rudimentary understanding of Visual Basic and Python. Then again, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
