Getting into the Gaming industry, advice needed
<p>I am very keen about programming/development, especially in the game industry. Ultimately i want to do game development, (a bit ambitious i know, but best to aim high) so i was wondering what the best way to go about getting recognised and getting a foot into the gaming industry.</p>

<p>I am in my final year at school, (year 13 Sixth Form) and i am still trying to decide what courses i should do after this, whether it be at University or elsewhere.</p>

<p>The main courses im considering and im not sure about are Computer Science and some sort of Game Development course. As i want to go into gaming, i think it would be best to go for the specific Game development courses, but if im not as successful as i intended to be, this may restrict my options, however doing a Computer Science degree seems as if it wouldn't teach me all the relevant things for game development but it will give me an overview of different areas of Computing.</p>

<p>So my actual question(s) are What sort of course would you advise on doing to get into the gaming industry, so would the game development course look better than a degree in Computer Science?</p>

<p>Also what is the best way of being recognised and getting my foot into the gaming industry?</p>

<p>I forgot to mention i would like to learn C++ ultimately as well, as alot of programs/games are written in this language.</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to read this.</p>
