Oh? Without even knowing what OpenGL is, I've coded a game. In C++. Without using very much math at all.

Admittedly, writing the code for Yahtzee in a text window isn't as nice-looking as something like Solitaire, or something similar. But coding a game (or a vote-counting program, or something similar) can actually be a fairly simple exercise. In my introductory (OK, college-level introductory) programming class, we had three major class projects and some labs. I've mentioned two of the three major projects above; I'll have to dig out the third one if I can find some time and the files.
