So the future is creating games to mindlessly entertain morons?

I think you’re missing the point. It’s not about the thing you code (the game), it’s that you can do all those things that go into being a coder. That is also quite the transferable skillset.
Right, but the article talked about games, not other real applications.
There are a lot of coding classes here, but most of them are how to use coding programs to manipulate games. None talk about the math behind coding. I ask what math should we be studying to understand these programs more fully and the instructors are at a loss for an answer (maybe somebody here can). I’d enroll my girl in a coding or programming class that discussed at least some aspect of the math rather than how to use a program that somebody else wrote. She loves that stupid DS, but that is only games. We went to the store to get some math games for it and sadly there were only a couple and they were very low level math (how to count and add). I know the guys that write these programs are smarter than that and can write a math game, but they don’t. Obviously there is no market value.
