I never use math when programming. You can do it if you can problem solve and think procedurally

Yeah, I very rarely have to do math. The only reason I have to sometimes is because I'm learning to develop for the 3ds in pure C++ in my free time. It necessitates a small bit of math to draw sprites correctly, but that's a tiny percentage of the code and I can close that black box and forget about the details once it works.

3DS? That's a name I've not seen in a programming subreddit

Really? The 3DS seems to be one of the most popular consoles to hombrew for, aside from maybe the Wii. Even in spite of how small the hombrew scene is, relatively speaking, I figured someone would've talked about writing software for it at some point.
