Hi, GS dudes.
I have found out there are some math words such as sin, asin, and cosin in expression editor while I was studying. Do I need to study even math to develop game with GS? Or there are alternative way?

    you can make a game without them, but with them(especially sin and cos) will make your game better(if your game needs them, such as movement)

    I didn't go to school and have never studied maths but I get on pretty well ;) Just pick bits up as you need it and in the end you'll have a lot at your arsenal, that's what I did.

    no @gawakamy … those are trigonometry functions … nice to know and know how to use … not knowing them will not hold you back!

    I only use them when @Tynan tells/shows me how! ;)

    you will use Random; the table ones; and magnitude … these are good to learn first
    maybe vectorToAngle; max; min; floor; ceil will probably be needed more than the trig ones

    good that you are checking everything out in GameSalad … exploring is good learning!
