The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 45 The business opportunity that was almost missed

"Sister Wen, I didn't find this game!"

"Not found? How is it possible! Search the website."

"On the webpage, there are all 1024, and there is no such thing as 2048 like you are playing."

Hearing Chen Sichu's words, Lin Shuwen paused with her playing fingers and looked at Chen Sichu with a suspicious look on her face.

"Sister Wen, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, look at it!" Chen Sichu handed over his mobile phone.

Lin Shuwen turned over it and found it was not there.

"How is this possible? This game is very simple to make! Luo Ming provided me with a design idea and gameplay, and I completed the rest independently. How come such a simple game is not available online?"

"Sister Wen, is there a possibility that this game is a new game that Burning Light Studio is preparing to release?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? If it's a game that's going to be released, how could it be possible for Luo Ming?" Lin Shuwen couldn't continue mid-sentence. It's really possible that Luo Ming would give her the game that's about to be released.

After all, the two of them are like grasshoppers on a rope.

"Sister Wen, simple is simple, but if no one thinks of it, isn't it also an innovation? For example, the mobile phone flashlight that was very popular last year.

Isn’t the idea of ​​turning a flashlight into a flashlight something that no one had thought of before? The person who wrote this program made a lot of money! "

After hearing what Chen Sichu said, Lin Shuwen felt that it made sense, and she immediately called Luo Ming.

Luo Ming, who was in a daze on the sofa, heard his cell phone ringing and subconsciously answered the call. Lin Shuwen's voice came from the receiver: "Hey Luo Ming, is the 2048 you asked me to make a new game that the company is preparing to release? ?”

"what?"

"Isn't it? But why can't I find this game online?"

Luo Ming was stunned when he heard this. He immediately turned on his computer and searched for it, and found that there was no such game as 2048.

How could such a simple game be written by no one in this world?
  Luo Ming's eyes lit up, this was an opportunity that came to his door!

"Ahem! Wenwen, you are right. This game is indeed a new game that our studio is preparing to release. It can be regarded as a trial game!"

"As expected, why didn't you tell me earlier? Fortunately, Chuchu reminded me and I asked you, otherwise I might have passed this game on to others."

"It doesn't matter if you pass it on to people around you for fun."

"Let's wait until you release the game!"

Luo Ming nodded and did not dwell on this issue. After hanging up the phone, he found 2048 written by Lin Shuwen, and then began to work late into the night, adding some details based on the game written by Lin Shuwen.

Luo Ming vaguely remembers that the game 2048 was released in mid-2014 in his previous life. After this game appeared, Luo Ming played it for a long time.

For programmers like Luo Ming, the number 2048 is actually somewhat special.

一个是因为2048是两个1024相加的结果，而1024是2的十次方，二进制计数的基本计量单位之一，同时每年的10月24日也是程序员节。

Another reason is that 2048 is often assigned as homework by programming teachers, asking students to write a game similar to 2048.

Therefore, apart from Xiaoxiaole, 2048 is the game that has been around for the longest time on Luo Ming’s mobile phone.

The rules of the game 2048 are very simple. You can choose one of the up, down, left, or right directions to slide each time. Every time you slide, all the number squares will move closer to the sliding direction. The system will also randomly appear a number square in the blank space. The same Numbered blocks will add up when they come close to each other and collide.

The number cubes given by the system are either 2 or 4. Players have to find a way to make up the number cube "16" in this small 2048-square range.

The gameplay of this game sounds simple, but it is very interesting. There are many similar gameplays based on it. For example, the popular synthetic watermelon in 2021, such as sui3, the most interactive mini-game on web8192, and Bacteria 2048
  There are too many games of this type. In the final analysis, it is because the technical content of this game is not high.

After 2018, the code of 2048 is almost public, and anyone with some connections can find it. Luo Ming doesn’t know how many times he has copied it.

Making some changes to the software written by Lin Shuwen is a piece of cake.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Luo Ming finished this small game, saved the game on a USB flash drive, and installed a copy on his mobile phone.

It was already 11 a.m. when Luo Ming arrived at the company the next day.

The boss was late. Rong Mu originally wanted to say something bad to Luo Ming, but when he saw Luo Ming's dark circles under his eyes, he was speechless.

"Er Ming, did you become a thief yesterday?"

"Stop talking nonsense, please call Senior Brother Zhao and come to my office together."

Rong Mu nodded and called Zhao Ningyuan to Luo Ming's office.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Brother, what do you think of this game?" Luo Ming handed his phone to Zhao Ningyuan.

Zhao Ningyuan took the phone and sat on the sofa to play.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ningyuan raised his head and said with excitement: "Boss, this game is great! This kind of casual game that constantly combines numbers can be operated with one hand, and it immediately captured the public's interest in fragmented time. entertainment needs.”

"Senior Brother Zhao, can you make money with this game?" Luo Ming asked.

"It's very difficult in China. Boss, you should also know that the technical content of this game is not high and it is easy to be copied. Even if we encrypt the underlying code, it will be useless. As long as knowledgeable people have played it a few times, they will probably know that this game requires How to do it."

"What about abroad?"

"For foreign countries, just put it on the iPhone and Google malls directly, and set the price as low as $0.99. I think there should be a certain number of users willing to buy it." Zhao Ningyuan said after thinking for a while.

"Then let's do it! Mr. Mu Rong will leave this matter to you. The developer and copyright of the game will be in the name of our company."

Rong Mu immediately responded: "Okay! Just leave this kind of thing to me."

"Well, Senior Brother Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you." Luo Ming turned to Zhao Ningyuan and said.

"The boss is very polite. This is what I should do. If there is nothing else for me, I will continue working."

"Well, let's go!"

Zhao Ningyuan nodded, stood up and left Luo Ming's office.

"Mu Mu, this is the underlying code of the game." After Zhao Ningyuan left, Luo Ming handed the USB flash drive to Rong Mu.

Rong Mu took the USB flash drive and asked, "Er Ming, can this game really make money?"

"It should be possible! I'm just not sure how much I can earn."

"Okay! I'm going to contact a friend. With his help, the copyright registration for this game can be done as soon as next Tuesday. This kind of small game does not need a version number. Once you get the registered copyright, you can directly transfer it to your iPhone and Posted on Google Store.”

Luo Ming nodded. He had absolute trust in Mu Mu in this regard, just as Mu Mu trusted his ability in programming.
