Reborn multinational giant

After the huge shark was successfully caught, a small climax of the entire game has ended. Fang Zhe stopped playing the game, but let the big screen continue to project the main scene of the game, even if he is not playing the game now, he just looks at the screen. The beautiful and colorful underwater world is also a different kind of enjoyment.

"Okay, let's play the game first, come to an end, now trouble everyone, take your eyes off the screen and look at me!"

As Fang Zhe spoke, he returned to the center of the stage. On the big screen behind him, the underwater world of "Fishing Master" was still projected. Fang Zhe looked like a person standing in the underwater world.

"I found that many people still look at the big screen behind me and are reluctant to move away. It seems that our "fishing man" game was really successful. When I look back, I have to praise it and make this The game team!"

Fang Zhe made a little joke and continued:

"Of course, what I should praise is another team of Huizhong. Without the engine and technical support of this team, I think it is difficult for everyone to see the exquisite game graphics like "Fishing Master"!"

"Come!" Many colleagues in the game industry under the stage secretly said that compared to other audiences who are attracted by the beautiful graphics of this game, their colleagues pay more attention to the deep technology behind it!

"Next, let me introduce to you, the unsung hero hidden behind "Fishing Master", our company's latest mobile game engine, cocos2dx!"

While Fang Zhe was talking, the game screen on the big screen behind it was also switched to several big letters of cocos2dx and its small head logo!

"I guess my colleagues here, if they understand the technological trends of the mobile game industry, they should have heard of the cocos2d open source engine.

This engine is an open source mobile game engine produced and released by a tech geek in Argentina last year. Our Huizhong company has been using this engine to make games since its inception, but in the process of using it, I also found many problems with it, so our technical team made considerable improvements to it, until today, cocos2dx!"

Fang Zhe first briefly introduced the development background of this engine, and then said modestly:

"So now, our company's newly developed engine cocos2dx is not entirely our company's originality. We are just standing on the shoulders of giants and on tiptoe again!

In a tribute to the cocos2d engine and the spirit of open source, we named this game engine cocos2dx, and just like the cocos2d engine, the source code of the engine is completely open source!"

Fang Zhe’s words caused a wave of waves. Many colleagues in the game industry under the stage trembled fiercely because of Fang Zhe’s last sentence, completely open source the engine source code!

What does this sentence mean?This means that Huizhong’s game engine is completely free to use, which means that Huizhong will fully open the underlying code of the game engine they developed. Anyone and any company can directly see, modify and use these codes. I can imagine that this kind of open source spirit of doing good deeds actually happened in front of our eyes, in China!

The open source spirit is a respectable and admirable geek spirit in the Internet industry. Many outstanding geeks or company organizations upload a certain program project, application tool, etc. that they invented and created to the open source community for sharing. Many needy people use it for free. This open source spirit has always promoted the Internet to become more open and progressive.

The act of open source is equivalent to someone inventing a very valuable new technology, new patent, not relying on these new technologies and new patents to profit, but selflessly contributing unreservedly for everyone to use for free, and therefore , Many people in China have always joked the spirit of open source as the spirit of the Internet industry!

Foreign countries, such as the linux operating system, is an open source project. Everyone can find free linux kernel code on the Internet. In contrast, Microsoft’s windows operating system is not an open source project. Microsoft has made money around the world with it. Hundreds of billions of dollars, one can imagine how huge the value of open source Linux contributed to the Internet industry!

For decades, Linux has become more and more powerful after the joint efforts and construction of developers all over the world.

Nowadays, many Internet companies, large and small, are using servers equipped with Linux operating systems, especially in the gaming industry, where Linux systems account for almost 90% of them!

For example, the tens of thousands of servers currently used by Huizhong are basically equipped with Linux systems, because the system is open source and free. This alone saves tens of millions of dollars in server costs for Huizhong every year.

The open source spirit has been tepid in China since the last world emerged abroad. However, when a major Internet company has developed some awesome technology, few are willing to contribute to it as open source. Therefore, When Fang Zhe said that the cocos2dx engine was completely open source, the colleagues present at the scene trembled fiercely.

Huizhong open source cocos2dx engine, which means that many large and small companies, even if they have no previous game production experience, but as long as they use this game engine, their technical foundation is completely the same as that of Huizhong, which is already in domestic hands. The No.1 company in the gaming industry has stood at a starting line. The technological gap between other companies and Huizhong in the mobile gaming industry has suddenly narrowed!

Fang Zhe looked at the unbelievable expressions in the eyes of many colleagues in the audience, and smiled softly. If it is ten years later, domestic open source projects will be commonplace, but in this era, it can indeed shock many people!

Next, Fang Zhe began to act as a temporary technique, explaining the advantages and specific functions of the cocos2dx engine to the audience present.

"Our cocos2dx engine launched by Huizhong rewrites the original cocos2d engine written in oc language with C++, so that in addition to game development, it is more friendly to domestic developers who are used to C++, and there is no need to learn oc language. , The games developed by developers will no longer be limited to only developing games for Apple’s iPhone.

The cocos2dx engine supports the packaging and release of multiple smart phone operating systems including Apple iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, etc. Developers only need to develop it once, and can use our engine to package and release games to multiple platforms.

In addition, we have also deeply optimized and expanded the graphics processing modules such as opengl inside the engine. The depth effect in "Fishing Master" that you just saw is that the fish goes from the depths of the phone screen to the outside of the screen. The effect of swimming may be felt by many people as 3D technology. In fact, it is only a 2D technology effect. Behind it is the technical support based on the engine."

Many viewers in the audience took a look at the big screen behind Fang Zhe. Such a three-dimensional picture effect turned out to be 2D technology, and many people felt that their worldview had been refreshed again.

Fang Zhe ignored the audience and continued:

In addition to the two points mentioned above, we have also contributed a very rich set of intermediate component libraries to developers based on our accumulated experience in the mobile game industry. The wheels can be built once, and many wheels need to be used in the development process. , Are included in the cocos2dx engine expansion package.

It can be said that any developer with a certain programming language foundation, as long as he learns to use our cocos2dx engine, can independently make a mobile game!"

Fang Zhe’s last rhetoric shocked many colleagues in the audience. It can be said that the emergence of the cocos2dx engine directly lowered the development threshold of a large section of the mobile game industry, giving many small and medium-sized companies and independent developers. The opportunity to make mobile games at low cost!

The spring of mobile game developers is coming!
