Whilst I'm a reasonably good speller, I was told when I was young that I would never be good at maths, because I couldn't do equations in my head.

I wish parents wouldn't do things like that!

Even if matmatic sounds like it involves a lot of complex mathmatics (and it can, it has the capability, but it is not a requirement), I've found it more of an automation tool than anything else. I can write stuff that makes things. This is cool. Writing:

def makeSurface():
  myColour = IColor(255,0,0)
  s = Surface(myColour,.8,0,0)
  return s

makeSurface()

makes an incredibly simple shader... but yes, it makes something. I can make all sorts of stuff this way - much more complex things - without really doing hardly any math. Well, no math, really. Yes, I'm shocking at maths. :blink:
