Can we get a pre-programming Math tutorial? Been nearly 15 years since I did a Math class. A little bit rusty.

Seems counter to goal of everyonw can learn, assuming everyone is up to date on their math, which isn't the case, obviously.

All of them. :p But mostly whichever lets me turn my card and board games digital. Probably Java from what I hear. Though I have only done the basic lessons for Python and Ruby so far. Though Ruby actually got me to use the Hint and Comment buttons to get by a couple Math bits done in The Basics. The three web language ones are going well though since its basically just twisting the English language. A little dry, but it requires precision to work, which I like. My ultimate goal is to make a page or app that can play my games and track which cards are used to what affect so that I can then rebalance them. No point in trying to release a card game of multiple decks if only one deck wins. Is stats an SQL thing? Database statistic tracking? Or am I confused?

I didn't learn sql yet but it seems that you need probability and things like that. for you to make a game like that you'll need to learn some discrete math. it is a university course for computer science I took that class when I was freshman. if you need any help with discrete or which book is the best maybe even videos just contact me. good luck
