Chapter 79: All or Nothing
In the August 16 version given by the program department, Director Li once again opened the Z-axis function of the 3D coordinate axis. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For the test of this function, the planning department did not give a specific special test arrangement. This is not to say that Xu Zhuce doesn't pay attention to the occasional falling bug, but because senior planners like Ling Xingning, Liu Kewei, Cao Gong, Yin Xiao, She Jinshan and other senior planners all have a bunch of work on hand to do, patronizing that occasional bug to lower the priority of other work, and they can't submit a qualified alpha version before the time limit.
With Xu Zhuce's calm and thoughtful character, it is impossible to make this kind of low-level mistake of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.
In addition, there is no way to reproduce occasional bugs according to the prescribed operation process, and even if everyone is asked to stop what they are doing to test, it may not be triggered immediately, as has been proven by the previous testing process.
Besides, this bug can be triggered as long as the character moves around the game scene map, and there is no need to make any special arrangements.
Because of these reasons, the planning department still follows the normal work arrangement, and several senior planners handle the planning tasks in their hands, just to let the executive planners take more time to move their roles around the map at will.
Probably because Director Li did improve the calculation method of the collision detection system, the probability of this bug triggering was greatly reduced, and there were no problems in the first three days of testing. It wasn't until the fourth day that it was accidentally triggered by She Jinshan.
As a result, it naturally aroused strong onlookers from the planning department again, this time it was Ling Xingning and Liu Kewei who went to contact Director Li, but not long after he came over, Cao Gong also invited Manager Wang to the scene.
Manager Wang, Xu Zhuce, and Director Li each exchanged glances with completely different meanings, Xu Zhuce's expression was quite a strong taste of "cold bystanders", while Director Li's eyes were more anxious, ashamed and nervous.
Facing Manager Wang's questioning gaze, Director Li nodded silently.
"Inform the heads of departments to come to the conference room immediately. Manager Wang picked up the phone on She Jinshan's desk and dialed Manager Bing's extension, and immediately ordered.
After putting down the microphone, Manager Wang motioned to Xu Zhuce and Director Li to go together, Director Li walked silently behind Manager Wang, and Xu Zhuce first explained a few words to the others in the planning department, so that everyone could complete the work at hand first and put the handling of this bug aside.
After Xu Zhuce entered the conference room, within a few minutes, Manager Bing, Gong Zhucheng and Min Zhumei also came.
Manager Wang frowned, briefly described the causes and consequences of the Z-axis function of the 3D coordinate axis, and by the way, he also talked about the solution he had agreed with Director Li on this problem.
It was also the first time that Mr. Bing had heard about the company coming forward to buy the game engine in Director Li's hands, and then open the source code to some senior programmers on a small scale, and then gather everyone's efforts to deal with bugs. Theoretically, this would be a safe approach to maximize the likelihood of solving the problem, but considering that the alpha review date proposed by Mingzhou was just over ten days away, it immediately occurred to me that time might not be enough.
"Otherwise, let's lock the z-axis first. He made a more conservative suggestion, "Is it okay to wait until the alpha version is approved to deal with this bug?"
Except for him and Director Li, who bowed his head and was silent, everyone else present had ugly faces and shook their heads together.
"Without the Z-axis, a lot of the graphics we worked so hard to design would not have worked. Gong Zhucheng was embarrassed and said, "Locking the Z-axis can certainly solve the existing problems, but without this function, Mingzhou will probably not admit that our alpha version is accepted at all." ”
"That's right, the version function plan has been reported a long time ago, and now we can't do it for the time being when we tell people that 3D, can you make do with the effect of 2D? Xu Zhuce agreed with an unhappy face, obviously not optimistic about Manager Bing's proposal.
Even Min Zhumei, who has always been in the same voice as Director Li, is slowly nodding her head at this moment, expressing her agreement with Gong Zhucheng and Xu Zhuce's opinions. After all, if the picture performance is not ideal, the first thing to face doubts is his main beauty.
But when he saw Director Li's appearance, he couldn't help but want to pull him, so at this moment, the Lingnan region gave Min Zhumei the gambling seizure in his blood, and he actually put forward an idea that could be said to be bold.
"Didn't you say that the probability of this occasional bug triggering is not high, and the probability of Lao Li has been corrected once and then reduced again?" Min Zhumei said while looking up to the side with his eyes, and he looked like a military advisor under the King of the Mountain, "It took more than ten people to test it once in four days, right? If we can further optimize the calculation formula and make the probability a little smaller, we will just submit it as if there is no such thing?" After all, the version review time is only scheduled for one day, we won't be so unlucky, right?"
This time, it was Manager Wang who stood up and overturned his suggestion, he scratched the back of his head that had been shaved again a few days ago, and shook his head again and again with a bitter face.
"According to my previous experience when I was working on "Sui and Tang" in Xiamen, when the alpha version was reviewed, Mingzhou would definitely ask our R&D team to stop all the work at hand to conduct testing, and when the time comes, fifty or sixty machines will run the game together, and there will be someone watching each room. The possibility of triggering a bug will become very large, and if they really catch this vicious bug in front of us without prior notice, then there is no possibility of continuing to cooperate. ”
After the two proposals were overturned one after the other, a room of executives fell into a brief silence, at which point the pragmatic manager Bing once again stepped forward to break the deadlock.
"Will a small disclosure of the game engine source code necessarily solve the problem?" he asked, uncertain.
"I can't say that I will definitely solve the problem, but the probability of success is at least higher than letting Lao Li continue to work hard alone, and it is much higher. Manager Wang said while looking at Director Li, and after feeling his gaze, Director Li also nodded slowly, so Manager Wang continued, "If you don't give it a try, the project will basically die, and if you try, at least the project will be more likely to survive." ”
The people in this room can be regarded as the elite of the industry with rich qualifications, everyone has spent nearly half a year and painstaking efforts to devote themselves to the research and development of this project, putting aside each other's conflicts of interest and grievances, in fact, no one will be happy to see the end of the project and the dissolution of the team.
"Well, I'm okay with that. Manager Bing lowered his head helplessly and no longer questioned.
Then the others expressed their positions one after another, and they reached a tacit understanding.
Director Li, who had been silent since he entered the conference room, spoke at this time: "Just deal with it, but I don't want to give me the money." Lao Wang, I still say the same thing, the responsibility lies with myself, and there is nothing else to say. ”
Manager Wang generously comforted a few words, and after some negotiation between you and me, both parties accepted the final decision to halve the compensation.
So Director Li and Gong Zhucheng proposed several skilled and reliable senior programmers on the spot, and they participated in the small-scale disclosure of the source code of the game engine, totaling two people on the server side and two on the client, including Che Guanglong.
When Che Guanglong, who was called to the conference room by Director Li in a daze, and three other colleagues sat down in the conference room stiffly, Manager Wang once again introduced the cause and effect of the incident. This time is obviously much shorter than the previous introduction, for example, Manager Wang and Director Li's solution details have not been mentioned, these things are good for executives to know, and ordinary employees even senior programmers do not need to worry about it.
After learning that he and the others had been determined to intervene in the bug handling of the source code of the game engine, Che Guanglong didn't say anything on the surface, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Only then did he think of us, what did you do earlier?
"Is there any problem?" Finally, Manager Wang asked them with a pleasant face.
The four members looked at each other, and at such a time, none of them wanted to be the first to take a stand. So Manager Bing began to roll call one by one, and the first one pointed to Che Guanglong's head.
Because of the frowning, Che Guanglong's embarrassed eyebrows became more eye-catching, he thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about the situation of other people, but I have a total of fourteen pending bugs in my hands this week, six have been solved, and there are still eight left, and it is estimated that it will not be completed until next Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest." Then, even if you don't care about anything else, you can go directly to the source code of Director Li's game engine, and it will take at least two or three days to familiarize yourself with the design ideas, and then you can try to find the bug and try to solve it. ”
The implication is that no matter how you calculate it, I don't have enough time, and I won't shirk the fact that you have entrusted me with such a great responsibility on the imminent end, but I really can't promise you that there will be a satisfactory result.
Manager Wang let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at Xu Zhuce, and asked tentatively, "Can the other bug-related work on the car's side be slowed down?"
Xu Zhuce picked up the mouse on his notebook, logged in to the bug handling system on the company's intranet, checked the unsolved bugs assigned to Che Guanglong, and then rubbed his acupoint, closed his eyes and shook his head.
"If these bugs are not resolved, the results of the alpha version review are not optimistic. Xu Zhuce quietly swallowed the second half of the words in his heart back into his stomach - besides, the bug of the 3D coordinate axis Z-axis, Director Li himself has been pondering for so long and has not been able to solve it, can these senior programmers definitely be able to solve it if they participate?
The situation of the other three programs is similar, but the length of the important work at hand is different, the most time-tight is Che Guanglong, including the process of familiarizing himself with the source code, which is only five days, and the most relaxed one is only three days longer than him.
"Anyway, let's do it, if you can fix the problem and get the project past the alpha review, the company will give you an additional bonus and paid time off. Manager Wang gritted his teeth and offered the killer feature of "there must be a brave man under the heavy reward".
I've done everything I can do, and it's up to fate whether this team can continue to move on......
