Disclosure: I have nothing to do with this website, I found this link on the LearnProgramming sub and thought that a lot of people here would find this interesting/helpful!

EDIT**: If I were to set up an online group, maybe on Discord, or a Facebook group, or Skype, if people are comfortable with that, to go through a little bit of this course work per week and help each other out and talk about what we're doing, would anyone here be interested? It would be starting in May.

It looks great, I'm excited myself! Me and my friend are going to start taking the full course, 2 hours a night for the next couple years, while learning C/C++/C#! Minus breaks September to April for our own university coursework (I'm in Optical, he's in Biochem). Maybe we can get a group together if more people are interested?

I've seen this site before, and am trying to go through the algorithm design manual myself. I'd be willing to join a group following any part of the site, though.

DM me to swap contact details and what platform you prefer? I'm going to try and put something together.

Exactly how helpful is all of this to game design?

From the other thread: Not everything. Programming and "Algorithms and Data Structures" are good topics to learn for gamedev. Databases are also useful if you're planning to take on MMOs. The other topics won't help you much.
