A degree in Computer Science will set you on the most direct path to game programming.
Completely agree. Don't waste your time getting a masters. Get a Computer Science degree from a good school and then get to work and get some practical experience.
Actually, getting a master's is probably a good idea -- but you can wait until you have some practical experience before going back to school.
Depending on what you want to do, game programming can be some of the most advanced programming out there:
- 3D graphics require an understanding of trigonometry and linear algebra.
- Modeling objects that interact requires an understanding of calculus and physics.
- Sound effects engineering requires physics and signal processing knowledge.
- AI techniques are necessary to make games interact intelligently with players.
- An understanding of hardware can be helpful if you want to work with innovative interface devices.
Computer science is the right degree, but make sure to take classes that will give you the skills you need -- getting an emphasis in business is probably not going to cut it. Math is key; the more math you take, the better. That and algorithms.
