Chapter 171: Steady Progress
Looking at Ricardo's exaggerated reaction like a turtle, the queen couldn't help but shake her head, it's been so long, and this guy still hasn't learned to be calm.
"What's the fuss, this is the version of Pokemon Go that was only launched at the end of 2020, and the AR optimization that can be done on the mobile app has been almost done, and the technology is much more mature than your current time node, what's so strange about being able to do this?"
It's so easy to say!
"You bigwigs always like to stand on the high ground and despise us unseen turtles. ”
"It's good to know that you're a turtle. ”
"I just want to ask who is not a turtle in your eyes. ”
"Me. ”
Sure enough, in the eyes of the big guy, mortals really have no sense of existence!
Ricardo ignored the Queen's narcissism, and slowly began to study it, and there was nothing he couldn't understand, but the progress was a little slower, so he spent 2,000 points on the wayward Tutu sauce, and advanced his programming skills to level B, and then spent three hours roughly going through the source code of this App.
After probably knowing how it was done, he realized, as the Queen said, that it seemed to ......
It's really not that tall.
What's more, my original programming C-level proficiency seems to have been renamed......
"Queen, what does this software development B-level mastery mean?
"Almost, because the basic knowledge covered by programming is basically complete at the C-level level, and the programming ability is basically at the top at the time of C MAX, and the level is continued to be improved, only by expanding to other directions of the software, it will become your current software development B-level mastery, which covers programming, architecture design, etc. ”
Truly......
After being promoted to B level, he has basically mastered the knowledge related to software development.
Even the AR technology that he just felt was not easy to get started with was nothing to hide in his eyes, and even, he actually saw a lot of things that could be optimized, which was very angry, and Ricardo's also made some simple optimizations and changes by the way.
However, if he wants to complete the game quickly, he will definitely not be able to rely on this set of source code alone, and he is in dire need of human resources now.
Biting his fingers, Ricardo fell into thought.
Pokemon Go is a game that can be fun, more because of the special gameplay of the game, one of the components of AR technical knowledge, and its gameplay, in fact, is the main reason why countless people are fascinated by it!
In fact, some international cutting-edge technology companies also have AR technology, although Ricardo can be sure that the technology in their hands is definitely not as advanced as the spicy technology he has mastered, but it is actually more than enough to make games.
It's just that they don't want to apply AR technology to games for the time being, plus ......
This game is also based on the power of Google Maps and high-performance servers to be able to complete!
The gameplay of Pokemon GO is not very similar to the canonical titles of the series.
Players need to capture Pokemon in the game world and train them. The map of the game world is the entire earth of the real world, such as the Pokémon base stations (supply stations) and gyms in GO, which can provide players with free items, are based on the location data of the portals on the map.
In addition, different Pokemon are available in the game for different regions.
For example, in areas close to water (lakes, coasts, river beaches), the probability of Pokemon appearing in water systems is higher than in other places. The player's movement in the game is based on the player's position in the real world, for example, the egg hatching system that was previously only available in the canon game also appeared in this game, the player can use the egg hatcher after obtaining the Pokémon egg, and to hatch the Pokémon eggs provided in GO, the player needs to walk or move in reality to reach a certain distance before the player can successfully hatch and obtain a new Pokemon.
Gyms in the series also appear in this game, where players will choose their own faction and there will be battles between different factions.
This kind of gameplay is based on the use of Google World Maps, and without a strong map system, there is no way to complete such a game, so if you only rely on yourself, even if you have the technology, it is impossible to complete such a game.
Therefore, he can only choose to cooperate with the manufacturer of the map system.
If Ricardo wants to maximize its revenue and roll it out globally, he has only one option.
Google.
There is no company in the world that can have more complete and detailed terrain data than Google, basically not, just like he used Baidu Maps in South Korea before, it can almost be said that there is no user experience at all, and the analysis of the map, the terrain and the route are far from the same.
Of course, in China, there is no doubt that Baidu Maps will be better used.
However, if you want to obtain data on the map, Google Maps is simply incomparable with Baidu, and the data provided by Google Maps in the same place is more accurate, and in foreign countries, such a gap is becoming more and more obvious.
But......
In the face of a behemoth like Google, Ricardo is now just an ordinary person who wants to talk to such a company.
"I feel a lot of pressure when I think about it~~~"
"You ......," said the Queen, who deliberately stretched the word 'you' a lot, "an idiot?"
Ricardo: "(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻"
"It's not that Google doesn't open the API interface, all you need now is part of the customized data, you are now a customer to Google, what is there to be afraid of?"
All right~~~
Now, what needs to be done, first of all, of course, is to register a company.
Then, send an email to Google to request custom data from Google Maps.
In terms of the procedures for opening a company, there is not much need to worry about, with the help of the two rich dicks of Fa Fa and Su Su, it should not be difficult to open a company, but, the truth that you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, he still understands, these things need to be done step by step.
It's useless to be in a hurry.
Registering the company and sending emails at the same time, he also had to find time to prepare his own album in the process, which was very busy.
To Ricardo's surprise, he received an email reply from Google a day later, presumably because the data he needed was special, and they needed to know what it was used for in order to be able to provide him with more accurate data.
