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

The procedure went through much faster than expected.

Zuo Zhen’s previous supervisor was Zhang Xueren.

It was he who took the initiative to recommend Zuo Zhen to find friends in Japan to get involved in the field of video games and computers.

When he heard that Zhan Weishan wanted to transfer Zuo Zhen to the computer science major, he agreed simply.

But the premise is that Zhang Xueren hopes that Zhan Weishan will give Zuo Zhen enough free space.

Try not to give Zuo Zhen too much restraint.

After teaching Zuo Zhen for such a long time, this teacher knows Zuo Zhen quite well.

Zuo Zhen is a person who is not willing to follow the rules

It can be seen from his willingness to learn about industries outside his major and to do a pretty good job.

Zhan Weishan was a little surprised by Zhang Xueren's suggestion, but he didn't take it too seriously. His first thought was to trick Zuo Zhen into his major, and then let Zuo Zhen concentrate on doing something more 'promising'.

Because at the stage of changing to a major, Zuo Zhen was basically not disturbed by anyone, so he and Yu Mengchen spent at least four hours making games in the computer room every day.

Zuo Zhen would work all day, while Yu Mengchen would occasionally come in the afternoon and occasionally in the evening.

During this period, some future classmates will come to Zuo Zhen.

Of course, they are drunkards and don't care about drinking. They care more about the games Zuo Zhen made.

As for what Zuo Zhen does, they really don't care.

"Classmate Zuozhen, we are here again!"

A week later in the evening, several classmates came to the computer room together and greeted Zuo Zhen as usual.

Zuo Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw them arriving, while Yu Mengchen was still concentrating on his painting work on the computer beside him.

Zuo Zhen walked over enthusiastically and hugged several people and said, "Come on, brothers, are you here to play games again?"

"Ah haha, you can tell. We are actually a little curious about this new thing, and we are not just playing."

Zuo Zhen said immediately: "I understand, I understand. In fact, you should not regard video games as a kind of pure entertainment. Video games are also very beneficial to brain exercise."

"Yeah?"

"Of course, this is a conclusion based on my many years of experience. Do you think your brains are more flexible when you play my game levels recently? Are your computer programming abilities stronger?"

"It seems...a little bit." These people were also a little unsure.

"You see, this is the function of this game. In the future, video games will flourish throughout the world and even become a very huge industry. Their influence will not be weaker than that of rock and roll and movies today."

Hearing Zuo Zhen's nonstop nonsense, they murmured a little in their hearts, but they were obviously not as secretive about their game performance as before.

"Actually, I'm telling you, people have learned a lot from entertainment since they were born. You don't have to study textbooks strictly. As long as you control the degree, it's not bad. On the contrary, it's good."

Perhaps because he had started a company before, Zuo Zhen still had some eloquence, and his words made these people no longer resist.

"So, can we play this game now?"

"Of course, I really hope you can come and play today, or experience it."

"Experience?"

This vocabulary is relatively new in China today.

But they understand quickly.

The experience is equivalent to free prostitution. The fun of free prostitution is great no matter what era it is.

"Yes, it's different from before. The game you played before was never a finished product, but this time it's different. This time I have successfully completed the first big level. The first big level will be It will be very complete, and you will also be the first batch of players to experience it.”

Several people were refreshed when they heard the word "full version".

Did it turn out that the previous game was incomplete?

But they still had a lot of fun.

So an incomplete game is so fun, wouldn’t a complete one be even more interesting?

"Come on, come on, in order to wait for you guys to come in, I have pre-installed this game on several computers in advance. You can try it together. And this time, one computer can not only be played by one person, but also two people can play it."

Zuo Zhen first took two people to sit in front of one of the computers in the computer room, and then began to teach them how to operate.

"Look, I have already chosen two player options for you. One of the players can control the left side of the keyboard, WASD, which is equivalent to up, down, left, and right. Do you understand this?"

"I got it."

"Very good. In addition to WASD up, down, left, and right, the first player also has H and J buttons, which correspond to jumping and box-moving attacks respectively."

The student listened carefully, very seriously.

There are only these few buttons in total, and it is not difficult to learn. Then Zuo Zhen taught the second player how to operate.

"You can directly use the up, down, left, and right buttons. As for the jumping and throwing options, they are 1 and 2 on the small number key. Do you understand?"

"I understand, but I want to ask what throwing and jumping are you talking about?"

"Jumping is when the character jumped up and down in my test level before, you understand? And when it comes to throwing, you can see it directly in the game later."

"All right."

The two nodded, then followed Zuo Zhen's guidance and clicked on the two-player option of the game, and the game officially started.

Although this is an official level, it only stays at the gameplay stage, and nothing about the plot of the game is added at all.

In fact, the plot is not important, but in order to make the entire game look more complete, some plot-related instructions will be added later.

But this is no longer important to the two students now.

Because at this time, the two of them saw two cartoon squirrel images with smiling faces appearing on the game interface.

The four big characters "Squirrel Wars" appear in the center of the game screen, and they are presented in pure Chinese.

This was the first time these students had seen a cartoon character on a computer.

Then they entered the game experience interface.

When two people entered the game interface, both of them felt a little sluggish.

The ground is as flat as pebbles.

The sky is blue, the background has a fence-like pattern, and the characters are two very cartoon-looking little squirrels.

One is wearing a hat and the other is not wearing a hat. The two characters can be distinguished very well.

Directly in front is something that looks like a telegraph pole leading straight up.

"Is this... is this the previous game?"

"Huh? Of course."

"But it's so different from before. Before, the world was completely formed by a bunch of codes. How come it's all turned into colorful patterns now?"

Zuo Zhen said matter-of-factly: "It's all implemented using programming. Look at the female classmate over there, she's doing this."

Can programming actually create such an interesting picture?

It was as if a new world had opened up for these students.
