Chapter 2 Developing Software

He plans to develop a computer manager because the competition in the market is very fierce now, and antivirus is not his main goal at this stage.

This computer manager currently focuses on advertising blocking and junk file shredders.

Software charges are the norm, but many software use "free" to attract users. Although the software seems to be free, many advertisements and bundled applications are added as a means of profitability.

Now that the free software has been downloaded, there are many advertisements, which are normal. There are various recommended news for booting, and some show garbage and money-making web games in a certain area of ​​the screen.

Moreover, rogue software is rampant in China. Often, a netizen will be able to crash the computer by various garbage bundled software and advertisements for three months.

Domestic netizens are simply miserable.

I accidentally downloaded a rogue software. Not to mention now, this can make people vomit blood in 2021.

If Chen Yi develops an application that can recognize these pop-up ads and bundled software and block and delete them, it will definitely receive unanimous praise from users.

The world has been suffering from advertising for a long time. You should know that the current advertising removal software has even higher demand on the Internet than the calls for antivirus software!

Although there are many software that can be used for advertising now, they basically only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot truly remove these advertisements.

But how to make a profit from this?

Chen Yi thought of two solutions.

First, the software is charged, and users can use it directly after buying it.

Second, the software is free, but contains in-app purchase items.

But now Chen Yi fights alone, and it’s fine to develop a software by one person, but do you have to go to the bank alone and sell everywhere?

This is obviously unlikely.

Most antivirus software on the market are very expensive now. For example, Tongshan Antivirus, one portion costs 200 yuan, who can afford it?

Therefore, these manufacturers also have castration versions, standard versions, and luxury versions.

This plan was carefully thought about and eliminated.

He chose the second solution, and he felt that the application was free and some functions were charged, which was more acceptable.

Moreover, the business model of charging some functions has already had a wonderful idea.

That is, to simulate this computer manager and make the image into a skin for sale.

How to explain it?

Imagine the image of a computer manager designed as a knight wearing a hat and an ancient costume. He has grass in his mouth and a despicable expression, and his face is covered by the hat.

When the user wants to delete the file, the swordsman raised his head and exposed his face, then pulled out the long sword around his waist, and the deleted file icons also turned into black shadows.

A sword light flashed, leaving a light or cool sword mark on the screen, and then the black shadow was cut by the swordsman, and the file was deleted.

This makes the viewing very strong and will definitely attract many people to like it.

These skins are cheaper when sold separately, and someone will definitely buy them for two or three dollars.

Moreover, the image of this computer manager is not limited to a knight, but can also be designed as a dog, turning the file icons that are about to be deleted into bones. When deleting files, all of these icons fly into the mouth of the puppy with open mouths.

Not only that, it can also be designed as cats and fish, monsters and houses, dragons and beads...

Well, subversive creativity!

However, this kind of creativity has had precedents before Shen Yi.

There is an antivirus software on the market called Kaka. After installation, a little lion will pop up on the computer, which is equivalent to an electronic pet, and is very popular.

Kaka Antivirus software is currently the overlord of computer antivirus software, but this is only temporary. Due to internal decisions and external turmoil, they can't sit in this position for long.

It is difficult to shake it, but you can start with small things - intercepting rogue software and pop-ups.

Chen Yi learned about the design industry, image, dynamic image, and special effects. It is a piece of cake for him and it is not worth mentioning at all.

If this software is made, the number of users will definitely increase at a spiral ascent. As soon as the number of users increases, there will be money to make money.

However, the prerequisite for selling is that no one pirated or cracked it.

This is a very headache for developers. This pirated software is still common in China until 2021.

The existence of pirated and cracked versions has caused huge losses to developers! The cost cannot be recovered, resulting in the inability to continue research and development, and some companies and individuals have even gone bankrupt due to pirated versions.

Many excellent software and games are destroyed like this.

However, since Chen Yi has mastered C, there is a way to prevent piracy.

Didn’t he say that the C level he currently uses is beyond this era? Then there must be software encryption methods that transcend this era.

At 7:00, the dormitory manager blew the whistle to get up.

Chen Yi was still sitting on the bed like a lying down, watching the reactions of his roommates.

Everyone still woke up as before when they heard the whistle. Some people heard the whistle and buried their heads and continued to sleep. They were lazy all day long, and they became extremely lazy after entering college.

Chen Yi put on his clothes, prepared quickly, and then carried his laptop back to the classroom.

He wants to cherish the time and write the program as soon as possible.

When he returned to the classroom early, he began to look for C development software.

Simply put, vc, that is, microhard company's C software is the best, very easy to use, and very powerful functions.

After he successfully downloaded and installed it, he immediately started to design the software.

Knowledge about C language emerges like a tide in my mind. Regarding this software, he has several designs and algorithms.

After he completed his idea, he began to write code manually. Because the technology brought to him by Shennong surpassed this era, the code he wrote was very simple and occupied very few lines.

Most people don’t write code so simplified because it’s too time-consuming. Simplifying code is like spending more time doing things that are not of much use to them.

The code is for use, not for viewing.

However, Chenyi's code is so simplified that other programmers can't understand it even if they want to read it. There are no comments at the code afterwards. It takes a lot of time for others to read it, but they may not be able to understand it thoroughly.

The simple and easy-to-understand code written is good code, but Chenyi does not mean that people can understand it.

C's proficiency in writing code is much less time than programmers who write a lot of redundant code.

An excellent application cannot be developed in one day. Chen Yi sat in front of the computer for about half an hour before packing up the computer and going to class.

There is nothing special about Friday's class, that is, conventional design theory and practice.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Yi can create the ui interface, images and animations needed for that application.

Design cannot be achieved overnight, so the interface and images drawn by Shen Yi now are just rough drafts to see the appearance, and the specific details need to be polished later.
Chapter completed!
