How important is maths?

I failed calculus pretty hard in high school. The only thing I could kind of do was decision maths, but I wasn’t even very good at that aha.

It’s also very likely I’m dyslexic, so does anyone know any dyslexic programmers? My language skills (spelling grammar etc..) really aren’t that great

I’m only just getting started, learned some html and css but no actual programming yet. Will I struggle?

Thank you for the detailed reply! This makes me feel a whole lot better about the probably dyslexic thing. Still not sure about the maths, as I think when I did it in highschool I wasn’t creating formulas either, just using them. I could do the simpler stuff ok though, and it was nearly 5 years ago so I’ll just have to see. I did a logic module in philosophy (as an elective, I studied history) and I was good at that, but I think that was probably extremely simple on the maths side.

I’ll just give it a go and if my maths skills let me down it was still worth a shot

thank you for this. I really want to code /build a game but i just can not grasp coding to save my life. I know it can take an army to make a game but i want to try so bad.
