A good programmer? Yes, no way around it.
Just another code monkey? Nope.

Only if you're programming physics related shit.

does it mean games?

No. There's no physics in games, just in real life.

so what do I need to know to make cool games

Or if you want to do any optimisation, e.g., ML.

what is ml?

physics, economics, finance, medicine

machine learning. it optimizes large multivariable functions, so you'd need to know multiple variable calculus.
