I've always struggled with math, but I'm really keen on learning to code. I have this idea to create a fun fighting game for my little kid, featuring his favorite cartoon and YouTube characters. I know game development can be quite complex and time-consuming, but I'm willing to put in the effort. My main question is: Can I successfully make this game without a strong math background, or is math a crucial component in learning to code?

You definitely can code without being a math whiz! If you're using a game engine like Unity, a lot of math like physics is already built into it. That said, a little math knowledge will come in handy as you develop your game. Most importantly, you'll learn as you go, so don't stress too much about it!
While coding itself doesn't require advanced math skills, problem-solving is key in programming. Sometimes, math concepts can help sharpen that skill, but it’s not mandatory. So don’t let that hold you back!
True, but I still think you’ll encounter some challenges that require a basic understanding of math later on.
