Of vital importance in 3D games, but also very important for a variety of purposes in 2D gaming, Vector math is another one of those branches of Geometry that you may or may not remember from math class (or Physics class). If you're like me, you remember that they look like little arrows and that they're probably important, but if someone was to ask you to help them with something vector related, you would excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and then slide out the window and run away.

To kick off the blog, I'm starting with a series of articles about various math related skills that you should probably have under your belt if you want to be a game programmer. Always remembering that although I aspire to game dev status, I have not actually dev'd any games that anyone has ever played before, so I may or may not know what I'm talking about. I tend to lean more towards the latter.
