Chapter 65 Competition
Although "Simulation City 2000" has been simplified, the Urban Planning Department is not a group of Muggles.
Although the professor is not very good at playing computers by himself, there are still talented students below.
In addition, "Simulation City 2000" deliberately left an interface to make mods, so the professor only needs to put forward the needs, and the students below will meet his needs and turn "Simulation City 2000" into what he wants.
The entire game is changing rapidly. About a month and a half later, this game has been changed to another appearance by the professor.
Before a certain class ended on a certain day, he suddenly took out a complete set of modules and asked the students to participate in the competition.
Although a small number of students feel happy because they like to play "Simulation City 2000", entering the Urban Planning Department is consistent with their interests.
But more students were depressed because they knew that in the next few months, they were afraid that they would not have spare time to do other things.
Don’t think that the professor always looks confused, he is actually very strict.
If he does not complete the homework assigned by him, just wait for the credits to be insufficient to redeem the grade.
What’s scary is that even if you repeat the grade, the professor will continue to teach students and freshmen who repeat the grade in the next year’s course.
As long as you don’t transfer to the department of urban planning, you can’t escape the professor’s clutches.
Some students even think that professors should not be professors in college, but should be promoted by "Simulation City 2000", or they should be someone responsible for people quitting the game.
Although Roger is not a student in the Department of Urban Planning, he learned that the "Simulation City 2000" competition was going to be held.
You know, the game "SimCity 2000" is different from other games. In terms of game types, it is impossible for it to hold competitions as often as "StarCraft".
Therefore, compared to those players who are lenient in the game, Roger, a hungry man, is naturally even more excited.
He asked someone for all the modules required by the professor, and then installed them on his computer to start the process of city construction.
The game "SimCity 2000" has fantasy and realism, and has added many exclusive modules of professors. The gameplay has actually become weaker, but the authenticity has also been greatly enhanced.
For example, at the intersection, players who usually play "Simulation City 2000" either think that the more intersections are, the better, or that the number of intersections is the better, and that there are no impact on the game.
But this is not the case. The number of intersections has a very big impact on the traffic in the game.
You should know that if a road does not intersect with another road, it can not set up a traffic light.
Without traffic lights, it will naturally not appear congested.
However, once you intersect with other roads and have an intersection, traffic lights must be set up in order to maintain order.
Once traffic lights are set, there will be a waiting process. Perhaps waiting at one location doesn’t matter, but looking at the entire city will cause a huge waste of time.
Therefore, the fewer intersections, the fewer the fewer.
However, if there are fewer intersections, another problem occurs. The distance from a certain point to a certain point in the city may become much longer.
This not only causes waste of time, but also causes waste of gasoline resources.
Therefore, how to design a suitable highway transportation line has become a problem.
Of course, there are not only urban roads, but also rail transit on the ground and subway transportation underground.
Although the construction cost of rail transit on the ground is relatively low, it has a problem, that is, it will occupy a large number of locations on the ground and be blocked by buildings.
Although underground transportation will save space on the ground, the cost is very high.
Combining the above-ground and underground will form a cost-effective urban rail transit network.
This network is a supplement to road traffic and can make travel more convenient.
However, in the early stage of urban construction, there will be no option for rail transit construction, so at the beginning of the game, there must be enough space for future rail transit construction.
Except for class, Roger devoted all his remaining time to the city construction.
In fact, one of the fun of the "SimCity" series lies in this. Players will always feel that the game becomes simple, so in order to increase the difficulty, they will add drama to themselves.
Among them, the big shots are those who play "other people's games".
These people can play ordinary games that are unremarkable and cool.
And Roger is running wildly towards the "other people's players".
The professor's students may have obtained Stockholm syndrome. Although they say they hate "SimCity 2000" the most, they are still feeling uncomfortable without playing "SimCity 2000" for a day, and they always feel that they are short of what they are short.
The competition lasted for a full six weeks, and after six weeks, these archives will be stored on floppy disks and handed over to the professor.
The storage media of personal computers at the end of the 20th century was relatively chaotic. Although CDs had already appeared on the stage of history, floppy disks had not been eliminated.
Although the CD has a large capacity and low cost, it is not convenient for users to write data individually, and most of the time it can only read data.
Therefore, using more flexible floppy disks still has a certain amount of living space.
Of course, a new type of storage disk called U disk and using the latest USB port appeared at this time.
However, although this thing is much easier to use than a floppy disk, it is more than an order of magnitude smaller in size.
But when it comes to problems, first of all, it is very expensive, and secondly, not every computer has a USB interface.
In this chaotic era, various storage media play their role.
However, with the cooperation between the USB Standards Committee and Intel and Amd, the USB interface will be forced to be installed on the new motherboard.
Roger also wanted to see what his save was, so he got rid of his classmates and handed over his save.
Although the professor is like a devil in his students' mouths, he is actually a serious and responsible person.
There are more than 400 students in the entire department. He will check these more than 400 games one by one to evaluate the various indicators in these archives.
Although there are not many people in the urban planning department, they will become urban design experts in the United States and even the world in the future.
