Chapter 058: Guess the idiom by looking at the picture

Because the game "Guess the Idiom by Looking at the Picture" is closely combined with the classic words in traditional Chinese culture - idioms, using interesting graphics and text combinations, so that everyone can use their brains and guess riddles.

The idiom pictures in the game often make people suddenly realize and laugh after hard thinking, which not only pleases the mood, but also trains the thinking and learning of idioms, so as to get rid of the boring reading textbooks and memorizing poetry scriptures, and has become a good word game for all ages.

After Yu Zixian took out this game idea and explained the gameplay of the game to Fu Zan, Fu Zan was greatly interested.

As a game developer and teacher, he knows very well what teachers and parents are really looking forward to on the game console: edutainment! He believes that if this game is done well, it will definitely arouse great interest from teachers and students, especially with the support of parents, and finally achieve a good start to the wisdom of the Rubik's Cube!

Just do it, get creative, and the rest is the game development thing.

However, Fu Zan was faced with a new problem, there were so many idioms, how easy is it to convert them into pictures one by one? The key is to ensure that the pictures are interesting.

After trying to change a few idioms, Fu Zan and Chen Tianming collapsed.

They found themselves thinking too much about the development of the game. The problem is not in the process of technological development, but in the process of transforming idioms into pictures.

In the process of converting this idiom into a picture, the maker is required to understand the correct meaning of the idiom, and also require basic art skills, flexible thinking and some funny talents, which is simply too difficult for them!

They're just game developers!

After persisting for a few days, the worried Fu Zan's gray hair had a few more. When Yu Zixian came to check the development process, Fu Zan eagerly mentioned it.

In fact, there is no need for Fu Zan to bring it up, Yu Zixian also saw the process of game development, and he understood that he had thought about the problem simply.

So, Yu Zixian gathered everyone together and began to brainstorm.

"Boss, in fact, the essence of this game is the picture converted into idioms, and other technical problems are actually not too difficult, but we are not language majors now, let alone art majors. If you want to solve the problem, you can only find professional talents. "After a busy few days, Fu Zan has the most right to speak.

"In order to develop a game, we are going to recruit people who are both good at idioms and good at art? Not to mention whether we can find such people, the key is how many people are suitable? These are hundreds of idioms. Zhang Junliang, head of the comprehensive logistics group, said.

"It's like, we can't just hire some people on a temporary basis for a game, right?"

……

Everyone started talking about it. But there are still no good ideas. I had to break up the meeting and meet every day to exchange ideas.

Only two days later, Yu Zixian saw a college student walking past him with a sketchpad on his back, and Yu Zixian made a move.

Day 3.

"Actually, temporary recruitment is also an option, but I did think of a way, I said it, everyone can see if it is possible?"

Yu Zixian straightened out his thoughts and continued: "Actually, let's just leave professional things to professional people. We can divide the whole conversion process into two parts, the first part is the idea of transforming the idiom into a picture, and the second part is the concrete representation of this idea through the picture. In the first part, an idiom has its specific meaning and context, whether it is embodied by historical stories or transformed by textual meaning, this is the same as the clouds, and the size is difficult to grasp. This part can be done by handing it over to students majoring in Chinese at the university, and as for whether the idea of an idiom is a few cents or a dollar, it will be determined when the time comes. ”

"In the second part, we will screen these ideas and select the best ones to be handed over to the art majors in the university, and the price will have to be determined. In this case, we will be completely liberated, and we just need to organize these two things. After these two things are completed, we get a finished picture that corresponds to the idiom. But let's just show these images in assembly language and put them on cassette. ”

Yu Zixian said what he thought in his heart in one breath.

As Yu Zixian, who has personally played the game "Guess the Idiom by Looking at the Picture", he should be the most experienced and feeling about this game among all the people present, and some ideas are easy to pop up at any time.

“……”

After Yu Zixian finished speaking, what he was waiting for was a burst of silence from everyone and the strange eyes that looked at him.

Fu Zan actually applauded this method in his heart, but also shouted in his heart, "His little boss is a freak."

Yu Zixian's method solves the problem in the most labor-saving way, and the things that can be solved with money are sometimes the simplest. While this may cost a little bit of money, it's definitely worth it, as it will greatly improve the cultural content and quality of the game itself, and will only make it more engaging in the end.

In the midst of everyone's praise, Hao Meng began to arrange the rest of the work.

Yu Zixian and Fu Zan came forward to contact the teachers of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature and the Department of Fine Arts of Jinghua University, and if necessary, to see if they could directly contact the department leaders of the two departments.

Chen Tianming was truly freed from the role of an amateur painter and began to work on the development of game design. According to Yu Zixian's advice, special attention was paid to the simplification of idiom pictures, and it was required that each picture minimize the memory occupation.

The rest of the people began to do a good job in various service work according to their own division of responsibilities.

Before leaving, Yu Zixian suddenly realized that he had neglected a major matter, that is, the matter of registering a patent.

Not only the game patent of "Guess the Idiom by Looking at the Picture", but also the brand name of the game console to be established by Rubik's Cube Wisdom, the shape of the console, etc., all need to be registered.

You must know that the current domestic game manufacturers are best at copycats, and even directly pirate, and then write their own names, and they will be blatantly released. As long as you know how to use C++ assembly language, and have your own set of development hardware and emulators, you can copy the game. As long as the game cartridge can be sold, piracy is not a problem.

At the time of "Smoky Mountain Software", Fu Zan did just that.

Since you are now spending a lot of energy and a lot of money to develop your own game, you have to formalize it to prevent being copied by others. Of course, these are all palliatives rather than root causes, and the most important thing is to strengthen the encryption of game programs, which is the most fundamental.
