Maybe this question is somewhat silly, but it is quite a blockade on my path: When I started reading the book I came across the part about implementing the Mersenne Twister algorithm. This brought up the question if I am actually meant to understand such algorithms as an engine programmer or if its quiet usual that one implements basically the psudeo code printed in proper literatur without really understanding it? At this point I got somewhat demotivated as I started thinking maybe I am not the expected type of reader without a BSc in mathematics. This example is quiet narrow, but it can be generalized quiet easily as there are lots of algorithms and papers out there that make up the underlying theory of many aspects of an engine.
Btw. I am really glad this forum is still up and running, despite its sparse activity!
