another thing for beginning game programming is trying to do too much with little experience. I don't think I could do a game on the scope of SEIV or Doom, without some more knowledge of things like DirectX and more knowledge of programming in general. (BTW, if youre going to be a CompSci major in college, get used to classes with only 1 or 2 girls... ugh, and Ive heard that back in the 80's it was actually 50% girls at one point)

You're just going to the wrong school. Last semester my class of 30 had 10 female students. This semester, my class of about 90 has about 40 female students. Plus, a lot of my other, non-CSci classes are skewed the other way (4 males in a class of 18).

That's not skewed. Now, my sign classes- THOSE are scewed. (first was 2 out of 30, second 3 out of 30, this one is 4 out of 35)

When I went to school, maybe there were 3 girls out of about 300 students in the entire department.
