Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 30 The Cube Machine Comes Out

"It's just an electronic toy."

Tian Moyun said something casually, and began to stuff the circuit board, screen, and small speakers that had been made before, and then installed the battery and turned it on.

With a crisp and monotonous sound, graphics gradually appeared on the screen.

He debugged again and again for a while, constantly modifying the program, and carefully polished the shell and buttons with a file, and then turned it on again.

After trying to play for 2 minutes, he handed it to the curious Su Qiong: "Try it."

"Isn't this just a handheld device?"

Su Qiong was a little confused, but soon realized something was wrong: "This is not an LCD screen, it's more like a calculator's screen."

The handheld phone she came into contact with used a four-gray scale black and white LCD screen, but the "handheld phone" in her hand was not, but a relatively backward pixel screen.

"This is called a pixel matrix screen, which is generally used for digital display."

Tian Moyun said: "Although this technology is backward, the advantages are obvious. It is low in cost, low in power consumption, durable, and does not require a chip, and can be displayed on a circuit board."

At present, the handhelds on the market all use black and white LCD screens with a resolution of about 160*140, which is similar to the first-generation Game Boy on Earth in the previous life, but the performance is slightly inferior. In the handheld version of "Douluo", there was a lot of castration.

The screens of these handhelds are expensive, and they also need a special chip and a matching cassette to play. All in all, the cost is not low.

"How does this thing work?"

Su Qiong has only a half-knowledge of hardware knowledge, but is a little curious about this "electronic toy" that looks like a handheld.

"You are like this..."

Tian Moyun began to teach: "It can play a simple video game. After clicking start, cubes of different shapes will fall from the top of the screen. You can use the arrow keys to change the position of the cubes, and use the function keys to change the shape. When ten cubes are stacked When it reaches a horizontal line, it will automatically disappear..."

This is the classic masterpiece of the previous earth - "Tetris"

For decades since the birth of video games, this game has always been a top seller in the global best-selling list. It seems simple, but it is infinitely close to the "essence" of the game, and it is also one of the most enduring games.

In comparison, even games like "Super Mario" and "Contra" are much inferior.

"It seems interesting..."

Su Qiong gradually understood the game and got a little excited.

Tian Moyun didn't speak, got up and poured a glass of water, went to the balcony to bask in the sun for a while, and sat on the rocking chair drowsy.

Just as he was about to fall into a sweet dreamland, he was woken up by a finger.

"Senior, the landing is too fast, I can't keep up."

"The next square shape will be displayed on the right side of the screen, just take a look in advance."

"Senior, how do you get more points?"

"Leave a gap when stacking cubes, and then eliminate the four rows together to get extra points."

"Senior..."

"Are you endless?"

……

Until Tian Moyun woke up and found that Su Qiong was still mad at Fang Fang with a serious face.

He glanced at the time, more than two hours had passed.

Immediately snatched it from her hand: "You are a good boy, don't be addicted to games."

"I was almost able to eliminate four."

Su Qiong stared at him angrily, made a hand gesture, and exaggerated: "I almost got ten thousand points, ten thousand points!"

It sounds like it's almost over.

"It takes 100 million points to clear the customs."

Tian Moyun's words made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning.

"How could it be possible to reach 100 million points? [-] points is the limit, right?"

Su Qiong didn't think she was handicapped, but at the end of the game, the falling speed of the cube was too fast, and GG would be capped if she didn't pay attention.

"Ten thousand points is too simple."

Tian Moyun said casually, and demonstrated it to her personally.

Seeing Tian Moyun score tens of thousands of points easily, Su Qiong's eyes were full of admiration.

This girl thought that Tian Moyun was a novice just like her. How could she know that this guy had played thousands of rounds in his previous life, relying entirely on instinct and practice makes perfect.

"Tell me, how is this game?"

Tian Moyun asked.

Su Qiong also stopped playing petty temper, thought seriously for a long time, and said seriously: "It's very good, although the style of painting is simple, but the gameplay is very interesting. In terms of gameplay alone, there is almost no game on the market that can compare with it. .”

This is not flattery, the cube game is a classic masterpiece, and countless top masterpieces cannot replace it.

"Then what do you think of its market? Will players buy it?"

Tian Moyun asked again.

"This one……"

Su Qiong looked at the crude painting style and low-quality screen, and said with some hesitation: "Although it is very interesting, if compared with the handhelds on the market..."

Configuration, game lineup, the gap is too big.

It is impossible to rely on a "full game" cube game to snatch the handheld player group.

"As I said, it's not a handheld, but an electronic toy."

Tian Moyun shook his head and interrupted her words: "The lowest price of handhelds on the market is more than 500 yuan, and the hardware cost is extremely high, but this little gadget... if it is mass-produced, it will cost less than 20 yuan. Yuan."

"This……"

Su Qiong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately figured it out.

Looking at her expression, Tian Moyun said with a smile: "Using it to compete for the handheld player group is just a dream... But, my target group is not handheld players. There are too many people who are reluctant to buy a handheld console worth one or two thousand dollars." There are too many, but electronic toys worth tens of dollars... it's hard to say."

"I guess... it will be popular all over the country soon, just like "Super Mario" is popular in the game circle."

Su Qiong clenched her fists and said seriously.

Tian Moyun didn't intend to buy this thing as a handheld, but in the name of "electronic toys". The target group does not coincide with handheld players, and because of the extremely low price, it is not inferior to the fun of handheld games. Bring a hundredfold huge market.

It is true that the configuration of this "electronic toy" is very backward, and the screens all use very outdated pixel dot matrix screens.

But in front of the price full of sincerity, who would care about these?

"Senior, what is the name of this game?"

Su Qiong asked curiously: "Did the senior give it a name?"

"Not yet, I don't know what to call it."

Tian Moyun shook his head.

"Then it's called... Happy Cube."

Su Qiong dragged her cheeks and thought for a while, and said: "It is a transformational work of our company, and it is also something that can bring happiness to everyone. I think...it may be very good to name it after our company."

"you're right."

Tian Moyun smiled: "After debugging for so long, I finally managed to make a finished product. I'd like to see if this little gadget can attract me a bigwig in the industry."

"Are you going to dig Wang Sicheng?"

Su Qiong's eyes lit up.

Ever since Tian Moyun knew the details of Wang Sicheng's experience, he never forgot about this talent in the toy industry.
