Chapter 200 Adding Entertainment Functions to Computers
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, September 20th is here.
Today, Sioux City received good news, the first-generation Oracle The computer was finally developed and subjected to various tests for two or three days, and the test results were very good.
Without saying anything, Su Cheng asked Oracle Computer Company to send over a complete version of Oracle's first-generation computer.
Although the semi-finished computer in the villa can also be used, if there is a finished product, it is natural that the semi-finished product should be eliminated.
The computer was successfully delivered to the Su family villa. After the installation was completed, I played with it at Su City Supermarket and instantly felt that although this computer had improved, it seemed to be missing something.
After thinking for a while, he finally understood.
Although the functionality has improved a lot compared to existing computers, it is still too boring for Su City.
Because, it lacks entertainment.
Compared with older generation computers, Oracle computers have indeed made it easier for many users who had no computer background to get started.
However, if users do not have computer basics, this computer will not be of much use to them.
In this way, although it can attract many users who already own computers to buy it in order to use more advanced computers, but what about those who have never owned a computer?
If they buy it, what can they do with it?
Inserting entertainment functions is the best way to let everyone use computers. Otherwise, ordinary people will have no interest in computers at all.
It is precisely because computers after the 1980s and 1990s have added more and more entertainment functions that the popularity of computers has skyrocketed.
Games, music, videos, reading and more.
With the hardware capabilities of the first-generation Oracle computer, it was already possible to add these functions to it.
Of course, due to storage issues, video is definitely not possible, but games, music, and reading should all be possible, right?
In this case, add entertainment functions to this computer, so that it will definitely be more sensational at the press conference.
Since computers are to be reformed, they must be reformed even more thoroughly!
For a brand to last for decades and never decline, in addition to the most basic requirement of good quality, there is also a very important condition, which is innovation.
Such as IBM, Apple, Motorola, etc.
If Oracle Computer adds these, it will be an innovation for the entire world.
Because before this, no personal computer could do this.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng asked Xiao Ai directly: "With the capabilities of this computer, can it add game, music and reading functions?"
"Master, you can indeed do it. The current storage of this computer has reached 64MB. In addition, both the processor capability and the system have made great progress. As long as the corresponding small program is developed, you can use this computer to To realize these functions, of course, due to the limitation of storage space, no matter whether it is games, songs or books, it will occupy too much memory!" Xiao Ai gave the answer directly.
After hearing Xiao Ai’s answer, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these functions can be realized.
So, the release of this computer is expected to be a big hit!
“Do you have a corresponding application applet?” Su Cheng asked directly.
Today's programmers want to develop such a program, and it doesn't take them a long time to do it. Because there is no precedent at all.
For example, what is known as the world's first PC version of the game was only successfully developed in the beautiful country this year.
The so-called first computer game "MapleStory" is just a text game, which is completely different from the ordinary computer games that everyone has in mind.
Sioux City hopes that the first-generation Oracle computer will not only be able to play games, but also be able to play games such as "Snake", not just word games.
In fact, the emergence of word games has made great progress in computers.
It is precisely because of its appearance that computer games have developed rapidly.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and innovation is the most difficult. Once this idea appears, various extensions of this idea will soon appear, and the same is true for PC games.
However, Su City will not wait for the computers in this world to develop slowly. It will be a few years before computers can play real games.
"Master, yes, depending on the capabilities of this computer and the system conditions, I can transplant a game platform applet, a music player applet and a reading applet to the Oracle computer. They The memory is not large, only between tens of KB and hundreds of KB. With these small programs, these functions can be realized on this computer.
However, these are only the carriers of these functions, and the carriers need to be used. Only when the content can be run, whether it is a game platform, a music player, or a reading app, because the computing power and storage capacity of the processor are very low, I recommend that the content only be placed in a relatively small memory. "It is indeed omnipotent. Xiao Ai, the answer makes Su Cheng very satisfied.
"Do you have any content suggestions?" Su Cheng asked directly.
Su Cheng naturally understands what Xiao Ai means. For example, a small game is a piece of content. If this content needs to run successfully on a computer, it needs a carrier, and the game platform is a carrier.
"Small games, I recommend a few, such as "Snake", "Tetris", "Super Mario", etc. These small games can all have less than a few hundred KB of memory and take up less computer space. The memory is not large;
For music, I suggest adding some relatively simple pure music, such as "Happy Birthday", Christmas song "Jingle Bell", "Canon", etc., and the time should not be too long, it is best to control it within Within 30 seconds;
As for reading books, I suggest adding some non-copyrighted books, such as domestic and foreign masterpieces, such as China’s Four Great Classics, Dante’s “Inferno”, Hugo’s “Marion... De Lorme" and so on."
Xiao Ai is indeed the smartest intelligent AI, and he quickly gave the most suitable answer.
"Then what are you waiting for? Add these to me." Su Cheng ordered directly.
"Good master!"
Xiao Ai was connected to the computer at this time. The computer seemed to be its temporary body. Soon, three simple icons appeared on the desktop. Mini program.
A game applet, a music player applet, and a reading applet.
The icon of the game applet is a simplified drawing of a game controller.
The music player applet is even simpler, just one note.
The same goes for the reading applet, with an open book drawn on it.
