Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

Zuo Zhen has a relevant memory, that is, the wave of returning home.

A large number of young people are gradually returning to the city from the countryside where they were previously assigned, making the city oversaturated. The number of people in need of work has also increased significantly, and at the same time, the number of people in need of spiritual satisfaction has also exploded at this time.

If you make good use of this, you should have no problem making some money.

It's just a pity that this may also mean that far water cannot quench near thirst.

You can make your own games, but what about the platform?

Games require game consoles and TV sets.

This is the cheapest method, but even so, most families don't own it now.

Opening an arcade also requires capital.

Zuo Zhen didn't really have any good ideas for a while.

He tossed and turned all night, and the next morning he left the dormitory early again and went straight to the computer room in the library.

Today he plans to finish the first few big level scenes in one go.

At the same time, you can also think about your next video game path.

Arriving at the computer room, the person responsible for looking at the door of the computer room saw Zuo Zhen arriving and stopped blocking him too much.

They have long-term permission to use the computer room authorized by the teacher, so it would be a bit bad to stop them.

But Zuo Zhen is very good at getting things done. After all, he once ran a company, so he still needs to be able to deal with people well.

Yesterday, he brought a few cigarettes from his roommate, and then gave them directly to the man at the door, while he kept calling him teacher.

Zuo Zhen knew that the other party should actually be the janitor, but no one would find fault with calling a teacher at this time.

When the gatekeeper saw Zuo Zhen handing him a cigarette and calling him teacher, he was naturally in a good mood, and his impression of Zuo Zhen greatly increased.

When he was sure that Zuo Zhen planned to frequent the computer room in the next two or three months, he assured him that he would also notify the other gatekeepers on duty later and ask them to open the door for Zuo Zhen without any further questioning. .

Zuo Zhen thanked him again, then put on his rubber shoes and electrostatic cap and entered the computer room.

After coming here once, Zuo Zhen was already familiar with the road and went directly to the computer with the best configuration to start it.

But at this moment, he discovered that there were two students lying in front of the computer.

One of the students lay directly in front of the computer desk and slept soundly, while the other one lay directly on the floor and slept soundly.

Because the floor of this computer room is inherently soft, even if you lie on it and sleep, you won't feel too uncomfortable. This person seems to be sleeping quite soundly.

Zuo Zhen had a strange expression, and at the same time he noticed that the computer seemed to have been shut down all night, and there was still the program code he left yesterday on the screen;

That was the first level of the squirrel war.

Seeing them sleeping so soundly, Zuo Zhen stopped disturbing him and sat down in front of another nearby computer that looked good. Then he took out his own floppy disk, turned it on, and put it into the machine to run.

Then a few minutes later, there was a crackling sound of typing on the keyboard from the computer.

The first generation of Squirrel Wars has a total of eleven levels, and the total play time is only a few hours to complete.

If it's a speedrun, it can probably be done in twenty or thirty minutes.

The fun of this game is that you can play it with your friends, and this should be regarded as the first friendship game.

This game deliberately sets up some gameplay methods that can cause trouble to companions. This may be the bad taste of the game producer itself, but it also adds some extra fun and playability to the game.

Sometimes deliberately stumbling on friends in the game will cause a burst of laughter, and then you can clear the game while making trouble, and you will not have such a strong sense of utilitarianism.

Zuo Zhen used this game to destroy many friends when he was a child, but later on he was able to steadily lead his friends through the level.

"Hey, hey, don't fall asleep! That classmate is here!"

Zuo Zhen was concentrating on making games. The student who was sleeping at the computer desk not far away woke up hazy, and then took a closer look and found that Zuo Zhen was already sitting in another seat playing games.

He immediately woke up a lot and quickly woke up another classmate.

They didn't stay here because of the video game. Although this game is quite interesting and it opens the door to a new world for them, after all, it is just a simulation level of the first level, and they can only go back and forth in circles. Running, without other interactions, without other stimulation will quickly become boring.

At the same time, because the computer room is closed at night, students like them cannot go against the school rules and stay here.

And the reason why they stay here is because of the teacher's words.

Because the teacher knew about Zuo Zhen's existence yesterday when he was about to get off work. When the teacher found the Academic Affairs Office, everyone had already left.

At this time, there was no such thing as a mobile phone, so it was not easy to find someone, so I simply planned to wait until tomorrow to find Zuo Zhen's information.

But the teacher didn't want to give up just like that, so he asked a few students to stay here.

From his point of view, Zuo Zhen has not finished the game yet. This is just the simplest game scene.

Then Zuo Zhen will definitely come back, and he may come back to play games at night.

But he didn't expect that Zuo Zhen didn't come at all at night because he was thinking about how to pay back the money.

And these two students didn't know how long the teacher wanted them to wait, so they simply stayed here.

Of course, there is another factor why they are still interested in the game.

One night, the two students played until midnight. They almost touched every inch of the entire scene before they felt a little bored.

The next two people began to study how to reach the destination as quickly as possible. At the same time, they considered waiting for tomorrow to compete with other students in the game lap race.

This should make the game fun again.

They spent the whole night like this, and then finally saw Zuo Zhen coming and going in the morning.

"I'm going to inform the teacher to keep an eye on this classmate!"

The man who was lying on the ground sleeping just now ran towards the door, and the other one walked up to Zuo Zhen and watched Zuo Zhen playing the game with his own eyes.

In the eyes of this student, Zuo Zhen's series of operations at this time were dazzling.

He could only tell that it was programmed in assembly language, and occasionally he could see some programming commands about jumping...moving, etc.

Zuozhen's fingers seemed to be dancing on the keyboard, and the crackling never stopped.

This has long been commonplace for Zuo Zhen.

Before establishing the company, he also interned at major Internet companies at home and abroad and participated in the development of multiple software.

The intensity of software development in later generations is simply not comparable to what it is now.

Today's Zuo Zhen can complete the general structure of the game in a few days, but for later generations of software to build a framework, it requires the cooperation of hundreds of people.

The scale is different.
