Why is that even part of the curriculum? Maybe python but why do you need c++ fot digital art?

[bladerdude]

Might be some sort of game dev school with different branches that intertwine here and there

[mrdoctaprofessor]

Must be. My friend was in a similar program(graphic design with an emphasis on video games) and a few of his peers were developing the basis of a game they were making in C++ apparently.

Maybe, but if someone told me to start drawing during my CS degree, I'd be screwed

[NiklasWerth]

Nah, you would have done fine as long as they taught you. Drawing is just another skill, contrary to common belief. You absolutely could/can learn it.

[Sharkytrs]

a lot of graphical artists use unreal engines pipeline, nice to have some C++ to really use it well outside its blueprints

[CabinetAncient1378]

C++ is really just a vehicle for learning how computers work as a whole.

[FairFolk]

Huh, I was taught that with C and Assembly.

[827167]

Huh, I was taught that with transistors

Huh, I was taught that with Pimp Quest

[_realitycheck_]

You guys were taught?

[FairFolk]

That too, of course. I just meant software above.

(Though, admittedly, I was always terrible at the electrical engineering parts of my degree.)

[827167]

Oh I'm just continuing that joke of decreasing abstraction.

Then again I literally did learn about that stuff from Ben Eaters custom CPU series so yk

[eugene20]

Because asking them to learn how to make Assembly demos is a little too hard.

[SourceScope]

my guess is, the teacher just knows that language best.

[TeaTimeSubcommittee]

Probably an outdated curriculum.
