In a year and a half? Without heavy background knowledge in all of those you are going to drown. (assuming advanced is actually advanced, and the game stuff actually involves something more than the basics, but even then, you're probably still b0ned).

oh shit. i can see a two year degree take me four then. :)

I've just been doing my own thing for about 6 years. With formal education you could probably get pretty far in at least a single paradigm in just 2. But that's just programming alone, with game development, flash etc. all mixed in there you're gonna need all the time you can get.

what subject you think i should focus most on? the c++ and the java? i had to take the flash stuff. its mostly a package for the degree.

C++ isn't for beginners, where Java is simple to the point of being brain-numbing. Java is also much better for teaching OOP (which is step one for programmers these days) as it's effectively forced on you.
