Physics & Computer Science

My dad and my physics teacher have (independently) advised me, as a CS major, to minor or double-major, in physics.

Do you think this will really help me get ahead? I want to end up doing something with computer/video games, not writing scientific software, so I think basic general college physics (required for CS major already) is enough.

u need a physics degree and a maths degree in order to program mario brothers. yes, mario brothers is _that_ complicated. very advanced physics engine.. i mean think when marrio hits his head on a block ... thta takes a lot of processing power, most likely prrocessing power harnessed by using haskell.

so, to sum it all up, learn haskell and opengl in haskell and _remember_, the goal of gfx is to minimize the # of triangles that u draw to the screen. if youre drawin 5000 triangles, then thats not good.... you need to draw less.. thats why 2d games are so fast, but 3d games are slow...
