When Feng Wan returned home with a few bags of vegetables, she saw her son typing something in front of the computer, and then saw him stop, and then very dazzling colored geometric lines appeared on the monitor. Colorful lines are constantly rotating in the display, moving in a specific elliptical trajectory.

When she walked behind Lin Hong, all the lines on the display suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge word "stone", which filled the entire screen, and kept changing colors, looping in the order of red, green, yellow, and blue, changing every few seconds.

Lin Hong turned his head and said to her happily: "Mom, this is a program I wrote myself, what do you think?" Is it good-looking? ”

"You're going to be using a computer so soon?" Feng Wan looked surprised, if she hadn't seen this scene with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed what Lin Hong said at all.

At this time, computers are a very advanced thing, even if they are college students, they will not be able to use them at all without a few years of study.

She had spent some time studying herself, but she had no clue, and she couldn't understand why she could draw such beautiful patterns on a computer with just a few codes.

And her own son, in the almost two hours that she left, had already figured up such a program on his own, which had to make her feel a little unbelievable.

Although it was just a little bit of it on the monitor, it didn't have any practical value at all, but she knew that although things were simple, they couldn't be written casually.

Seeing his son's expectant eyes, Feng Wan gave him the answer he wanted most:

"Very beautiful. Mom's computer has been here for almost two years, and I thought it was broken, but I didn't expect it to be able to use it to draw. She was telling the truth. The computer just arrived at her for the truth, she thought it was a bad machine for a long time, until there was a truth about a computer room she was visiting a school, only to know that the computer was originally like this, after turning it on, there were a few lines of prompt text, and nothing else.

After Lin Hong heard his mother's words, he was naturally even happier in his heart. After all, this was the first real program he had written himself, and it took a lot of effort to make the word "stone" bigger.

After some initial learning and exploration, he is now starting to experience the joy of programming.

Moreover, Lin Hong was no longer satisfied with simply printing a few simple characters on the display screen according to the sample program in the manual, and he began to figure out how to use the various commands and functions provided in the manual to write the functions he wanted to achieve.

Just like the colorful lines and oversized text displayed on the monitor before, there is no exact program in this example, only a single line program and an example of changing the color of the text.

After Lin Hong typed it out according to the original code above, he began to figure it out to make it appear a little "fresh" and "different" function.

So, he increased the number of lines, which was not difficult to do, and it was easy to achieve. But it's a bit more difficult to enlarge the letters. He re-examined the manual and found that there was no solution.

Eventually, he came up with a whimsical idea and solved the problem by drawing pictures. That is to say, the oversized letters displayed in the monitor are completely "drawn" by him using the basic drawing function, and they are not the native fonts that come with the system.

One small program after another was born in Lin Hong's hands, and he was completely addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, which was completely different from the feeling that the radio brought him.

The exploration of radio was like an expedition, something already existed, and he kept digging with the mood of treasure hunting, and he felt happy before he could establish a connection with other hams, as if he had discovered a new treasure.

But the joy that computers bring him lies in creation. It's a complete control, and by programming, he can make the computer implement his ideas as he wishes.

To be honest, Lin Hong enjoyed the process more. Radio is also good, but the charm of computers seems to be greater. He began to understand why Lus's interest was slowly turning to computers.

After dinner, Feng Wan fell asleep soon after taking a bath, and she was really tired today.

Of course, before she went to sleep, she naturally told Lin Hong to let him go to bed early.

Lin Hong said yes verbally, but he stayed in the study without moving.

After dinner, he suddenly remembered that he had taken out a few boxy plastic cards from the cardboard box, and after reading the manual, he knew that this kind of card was a 5.25-inch floppy disk used to store data.

So, he put the floppy disk into the floppy drive, which was a small boxy box with black panels and "disk_ii" printed on them.

Then, in the command prompt, he typed in the command "pr#6" and then hit enter, so that the disk data in the floppy drive could be read. This is because the floppy drive controller's control card is plugged into the sixth slot of the computer, and using this command, the control card can be launched, telling it to read data from disk into the computer's memory and execute it.

When Lin Hong pressed the Enter key, the display suddenly turned black, and then a huge picture suddenly appeared all over the monitor.

It is a western castle building, with wide gates, pointed roofs, and blue sky and green grass. In the blue sky, a huge word "ultima_i" is displayed.

was accustomed to seeing the screen with green characters on a black background, and such a brightly colored picture suddenly appeared, which made Lin Hong a little stunned.

"Is this a game?"

He quickly reacted, after all, he was a person who had seen arcade machines and had a basic understanding of the game.

He realized that this was supposed to be a computer game. He'd heard this from Lus before, and he even wrote his own computer games.

Lin Hong suddenly perked up, he followed the prompt, hit the enter key and entered the game, and he started to play almost without a teacher.

Later, he learned from others that the Chinese name of the game was Genesis, and that origin_system developed a role-playing game set in the Middle Ages.

On his first night in the capital, Lin Hong dedicated it to the first computer game he encountered.
