Nintendo is an electronic game manufacturer in the island country. It was established in the last century. Of course, there were no electronic games in that era. They mainly manufactured purely mechanical games and some toy models.
For a long time, Nintendo was just a small workshop, but when Tokyo held the Olympic Games in the 1960s, Nintendo seized this opportunity and vigorously promoted its card products, which attracted the attention of Disney. The two companies established a cooperative relationship.
Launched global sales by producing playing cards with Disney cartoon characters. This cooperation led to success, so that at least 600,000 playing cards were sold within a year.
In the 1970s, Nintendo began to research some devices that could be connected to TVs to play simple games. These were electronic games.
In the 1980s, Nintendo developed a game watch that combined LCD electronic games with a digital dial. This was an important achievement for Nintendo and brought it into a new stage.
Since then, there have been many classic games such as "Super Mario". By the first thirty years of the 21st century, Nintendo set a record of selling 150 million electronic game consoles, which no one can break.
Electronic games connected to the TV also use chips, but in this era, game chips are mostly transistors. In addition, the processor of the game console is specially designed to calculate the instructions of the game, which can be simplified very much. However, the computer needs to add a lot of instructions and is of course much less efficient.
.
Computers also have games, but these games are all based on command games similar to entering commands under the DOS system. Unless they are professionals, ordinary teenagers have no interest at all.
"Brother Wanhe, we can consider designing some game software similar to Nintendo. Once successful, it will cause heavy damage to our opponents!"
"This...Liu Lang, there is still a huge difference between Nintendo games and computer software. With the current software conditions, I'm afraid there is still a big gap. It's very difficult!"
Wanhe shook his head.
"No, no, Brother Wanhe, we are not imitating their games, but relying on our existing programs. It doesn't need to be too big, it only takes a few minutes. We can call it Flash. This is a program that can
A small program that generates a two-dimensional vector can be an animation of the sun rising or an animation of a small airplane flying. We only need to add some artificial systems, such as the control of the airplane to avoid obstacles during flight.
, I believe this kind of program can be processed with photoshop image processing software, of course, the premise is to upgrade!"
"Flash?"
Wan He is very interested in this name. In addition, according to what Liu Lang said, it seems that this small animation form is really not too difficult. After all, animation in computers is also composed of pictures frame by frame. If it is too big, it will be natural.
The requirements for the chip are very high, but it only takes a few minutes. Maybe the current chip can still bear it, and even if it can't, it just needs to be improved.
"This is a good suggestion. We can give it a try. Anyway, our software engineers are very motivated every day and want to come up with something new every day. Moreover, Liu Lang, we feel that the current C language still has many flaws. We
I want to make improvements based on this, but I have to ask for your opinion first!"
"Haha, Brother Wanhe, you are the experts. I am just a layman. I just suddenly had some illusions. It was you who turned my illusions into reality. As computer chips continue to become more powerful, this kind of C
Of course, languages will continue to be upgraded. The software in ten years will definitely be much better than now. I hope you will abolish the C language as soon as possible and then create new software!"
In the Silicon Valley of the future, many software engineers will be like crazy people, researching new software every day, and once they design a new product, they will immediately throw it aside and go on to challenge new things. As a result, those products they threw behind their minds
After being taken away by others, they became rich, such as the QQ program and WeChat in later generations, and Dad Ma’s mobile payment program. These programs all came from Silicon Valley, and they just took the application to the extreme.
In the eyes of the top engineers, only innovation can give them a sense of accomplishment. They are like philosophers in the scientific community, "scorning" the behavior of those "ordinary people". Liu Lang feels that Wanhe's group of engineers are like this
signs.
Wan He and others don't study practical value, Liu Lang should study it! If you want to sell computers in the shortest time, especially to get support from young people, the best way is to use computer games.
In this computer-free era where the human brain has not yet been "civilized", the appeal of any game to people is unimaginable.
Liu Lang still remembers the feeling when he first saw a large-scale game when he was in elementary school. It was a fighting game called "Street Fighter" in which both sides controlled the game characters. He couldn't resist this kind of game at all.
I just played it once and couldn't help myself. It took me five years to play from elementary school to high school. Fortunately, I found my way back. Otherwise, I would have almost delayed going to college.
And in college, the online game that swept across China appeared. Tens of millions of students across the country, and even adults, were deeply fascinated by it. Many students skipped classes, stayed up late in Internet cafes, and even delayed their studies.
This online game has also become the target of scorn from all parents of students.
In the 1980s, there was no game software for computers. In addition to being limited by hardware and software, the main reason was that no one thought about it and the basic functions were not perfect. How could they think about entertainment functions?
But Liu Lang doesn't think so. Relaxation and enjoyment are human nature, and they are more attractive than work. Besides, the flssh animation game he said does not have high requirements for hardware and software. As for what type of game to make,
Just ask Liu Lang.
For example, the Snake and Pac-Man game; such as the Tetris game; such as the Lianliankan game. These games are the most popular mini-games in later generations. The operation is very simple, just up, down, forward, left, and right, but they have fascinated countless people.
Once these games are installed on the computer, there is no doubt that it will cause a sensation, and by then these software alone will make the computer sell well.
Wan He listened very carefully, and took notes from time to time. He believed Liu Lang's words deeply, because facts have proved that his words were good advice, and he would forcefully correct them even if he thought they were wrong.
"Liu Lang, I've written all of this down... It sounds very interesting. I believe that these games will be designed in less than a year, but the chip may need to be improved a lot!"
What Wanhe is most concerned about now is SMIC's technological improvement.
