#200 - Adding entertainment features to your computer

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was September 20th.

Today, Su Cheng received good news: the first generation of Oracle computers had finally been developed and had undergone various tests for two or three days, with very good results.

Without hesitation, Su Cheng had the Oracle Computer Company send over a complete version of the first-generation Oracle computer.

Although the semi-finished computer in the villa could also be used, a finished product naturally meant the semi-finished one should be eliminated.

The computer was smoothly transported to the Su family villa, and after installation, Su Cheng played with it for a while, instantly feeling that although this computer had improved, it seemed to be missing something.

After thinking for a while, he finally understood.

Although the functionality was much improved compared to existing computers, it was still too boring for Su Cheng.

Because it lacked entertainment.

Compared to the older generation of computers, the Oracle computer did make it easier for many users without a computer background to get started.

However, for users without a computer background, this computer wasn't very useful to them.

This way, while it could attract many existing computer users to buy it in order to use a more advanced computer, what about those who had never owned a computer?

If they bought it, what could they do with it?

Adding entertainment functions was the best way to get everyone to use computers; otherwise, ordinary people would have no interest in computers at all.

It was precisely because computers after the 1980s and 1990s added more and more entertainment functions that the popularity of computers rapidly increased.

Games, music, videos, reading, and so on.

With the hardware capabilities of the first-generation Oracle computer, it was entirely possible to add these functions to it.

Of course, due to storage limitations, videos were definitely impossible, but games, music, and reading should all be possible, right?

Since that was the case, then add entertainment functions to this computer, which would definitely cause even more of a sensation at the press conference.

Since the computer was going to be reformed, then reform it more thoroughly!

If a brand wants to remain strong for decades, in addition to the most basic requirement of good quality, there is also a very important condition: innovation.

For example, IBM, Apple, Motorola, and so on.

If Oracle Computer added these things, then for the whole world, it would be an innovation.

"Master, it can indeed be done. The current storage of this computer has reached 64MB. In addition, whether it is the processor's capabilities or the system, there has been great progress. As long as corresponding applets are developed, these functions can be realized on this computer. Of course, due to the limitations of storage space, whether it is games, songs, or books, it is impossible to occupy too much memory!" Xiao Ai directly gave the answer.

Hearing Xiao Ai's answer, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these functions could be realized.

Then, the release of this computer is expected to be a big seller!

"Do you have corresponding application applets?" Su Cheng asked directly.

For current programmers, it would take a long time to develop such a program, if they could do it at all.

Because there was no precedent.

For example, the world's first PC game in the true sense was only successfully developed in the United States this year.

And this so-called first computer game, "Adventure Island," was just a text-based game, completely different from the ordinary computer games that everyone had in mind.

Su Cheng hoped that the first-generation Oracle computer could not only play games, but also play games such as "Snake" and others, instead of just text-based games.

In fact, the emergence of text-based games had already made great progress in computers.

It was because of its appearance that computer games had developed rapidly.

As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. Innovation is the most difficult. Once this idea appears, various extensions of this idea can appear quickly, and PC games are the same.

However, Su Cheng would naturally not wait for the computers in this world to develop slowly. By the time computers could play games in the true sense, it would already be several years later.

"Master, I have them. According to the capabilities of this computer and the system situation, I can transplant a game platform applet, a music player applet, and a reading applet to Oracle Computer. Their memory is not large, only between tens of KB to hundreds of KB. With these applets, these functions can be realized on this computer.

However, these are just the carriers of these functions. The carriers need content to run. Whether it is a game platform, a music player, or a reading applet, because the processor's computing power and storage capacity are very low, I suggest that the content should only be those with relatively small memory." As expected of the omnipotent Xiao Ai, the answer was very satisfactory to Su Cheng.

"Do you have any content suggestions?" Su Cheng asked directly.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Su Cheng naturally understood what Xiao Ai meant by content. For example, a small game is a content, and this content needs a carrier to run successfully on the computer, and the game platform is a carrier.

"For small games, I suggest a few, such as 'Snake,' 'Tetris,' 'Super Mario,' etc. These small games can all be done under a few hundred KB of memory, and do not take up much computer memory;

For music, I suggest adding some simple pure music, such as 'Happy Birthday,' the Christmas song 'Jingle Bell,' 'Canon,' etc., and the time should not be too long, preferably controlled within 30 seconds;

As for reading books, I suggest adding some books without copyright, such as famous Chinese and foreign works, such as the Four Great Classical Novels of China, Dante's 'Inferno,' Hugo's 'Marion Delorme,' and so on."

Xiao Ai was indeed the smartest AI, and quickly gave the most suitable answer.

"Then what are we waiting for? Add these in for me," Su Cheng ordered directly.

"Okay, Master!"

Xiao Ai was now connected to the computer, and the computer seemed like its temporary body. Soon, three simple applet icons appeared on the desktop.

A game applet, a music player applet, and a reading applet.

The icon for the game applet was a simple drawing of a game controller.

The music player applet was even simpler, just a musical note.

And the reading applet was the same, with a picture of an open book on it.
