It can be said without hesitation that his life is a legend.

Although his current level may be a few years later, he has developed the critical 3D engine technology such as "dynamic shadow algorithm", "carmack reversal", "dynamic light special effects", "diffuse light source", and "Shadow-Volume's Z-Fail method". When he was called the Godfather of Graphics, he would look down at the small realm of mountains. When Jester read the biography of John Carmack and John Romero, he was still deeply impressed by John Carmack's talent. A teenager's programming level surpassed the genius of 90% of the world's people, and a genius who only takes half of the time for others to master a brand new programming language, how can you not be impressed?

"I just want to write excellent programs." Carmack expressed his dreams in this way.

Jester can even remember his first time reading "DOOM Revelation" and write it on his notebook to motivate and motivate himself.

"That's like the admiration of the geniuses behind DOOM hidden in my heart. After reading the book "DOOM Revelation", what kind of legendary era was that, and what kind of geniuses who have become legends created one legend after another. Compared with the so-called stars who are so sexy, they are the idols that are truly worthy of my admiration."

Yes, Jester did not hide at all that he was DOOM and a fan of Carmack because that was his former idol!

Idols of all programmers!

As Guerst knows, "DOOM Revelation" is a book that has influenced countless programmers. It inspires one aspiring young people to go on the path of coders one after another, and they are eager to become geniuses like John Carmack or John Romero who influence the entire world with the technology in their hands.

But most of them cannot be John Carmack or John Romero, and they can only be a coder for the rest of their lives.

However, Jester was a little curious. In his memory, John Carmack was not from California. If he had the right impression, he should be from Kansas.

How could he be here?

"I escaped." Carmack did not hide it. He talked about his situation directly. Then, he looked at Jester with his eyes. This was the first time he looked at Jester with his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I said... did you really do "American Cubes"?"

Jester smiled and nodded. He remembered that when he said this, Carmack should still be educated in the Youth House.

So, did he come out of the Youth House?

Then Carmak, who was still a little brat, curled his lips, turned his bright eyes smartly, and then said to Jester in a coquettish manner: "Then you must have a game company, right? How about you hire me? I have a very high level. If you don't believe you can ask any program questions, including what you can't do, I can complete it!"

It really has the style of John Carmack.

Jester sighed in his heart that the two founders of ID-Software are freaks. Although they are both technical geniuses, their emotional intelligence is too low.

How could anyone seek such a job...

Jester thought of John Romero, who should have been in England and had not returned to the United States.

This close partner of Carmack in the early stages of his business, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who were known as the game industry as Carmack, were still earning royalties by writing game codes to send them to game magazines. This guy even sent some letters to those magazines that made them laugh and cry, and attached his latest game code.

For example, he would write letters to magazines like this.

"I must be the champion of your program competition. My program is great. Don't set up a bonus of 500 US dollars. Just give me the 500 US dollars. There is also the annual prize, yes, one thousand US dollars, just give me the one." The signature is as usual: "John Romero, the ace programmer."

Then he won the championship.

It is worth mentioning that the British Air Force's first simulation program on a small aircraft was done by John Romero. When he saw his mission to be done at a top-secret military base, he just said: "No problem, I'm the most capable of playing games!" At this time, he was only fifteen years old.

Think about what I was doing when I was fifteen?

Well, Jester thought about it. When he was fifteen, he could only play Diablo on his computer. Then he found that he could copy equipment by copying archives and then copying it as his biggest secret and hide it without sharing it with his friends...

As for John Carmack, he is not only more outstanding than John Romero in terms of technology, but also has a better personality than John Romero.

By the way, in the real pioneering era, those first-generation game programmers made games and wanted to sell their games, either like the Williams and his wife, packing cards with their own game codes in bags. Yes, what you hear is cards. The earliest programs were stored with holes in cards and sold to those who are interested in their games.

Isn't it funny?

In fact, it is not funny at all. It is because of this method that seems to be a peddler selling goods. The Williams and his wife created Xueleshan, the world's second largest PC game publisher that became famous in the PC game industry.

Or send your code to some software magazines and let them publish their own code in their magazines.

As for how others play?

It's very simple. First of all, you have to be proficient in programming, and then you can enter these codes on your APPLE or Commodore64 to play the game. This is basically equivalent to making this game again on your computer.

Isn't it a scam?

Jester knew that Carmack was a genius, and the most talented and talented genius in the world, but he still couldn't agree to the other party's request.

Yes, Jester really wants Carmack to work in a game company that he has not yet established. His company does need him in the future, and no one in the world can match his 3D engine, but the problem is that he is only fourteen years old this year!

Without his guardian's consent, he would not be able to hire him, and even if he was taken in, he could be sued by the federal government.

But Jester really didn't want to miss such an opportunity to communicate in depth with Carmack.

Carmack's talent is so high that you don't need to waste it too much...

Jester frowned and thought for a while, and after a while, he finally came up with a way.

"First, you're going home." Just after Jester said this, he could see the disdainful expression in Carmack's eyes.

Obviously, he did not agree with Jester's proposal.

"Then, after you go home, I will provide you with a part-time job, such as writing some small games for my company. It won't be too difficult. I will pay you. I can guarantee that these rewards are much more than you write code to those magazines." Jester seemed to have not seen Carmack's previous disdain, but continued to say to himself, "I can even guarantee that the first task will be enough for you to buy a brand new Apple-Apple computer."

Hearing Jester's last words, Carmack's throat surging, and his eyes showed a look of desire without any concealment.

"Really?" Carmak's voice became a little trembling.

"Of course." Jace nodded.

He knew very well what Carmack wanted most now, and he had just been sentenced to be educated for a year in the Youth House, and the days when he left the computer made him useless.

Maybe it was because of this that he escaped from where he could escape. How could his wild and unscrupulous personality bear the rules of the Youth House as if he was measuring his life with a rule?

The Youth House is similar to the young teaching center in our country. Most of the students in it are locked up because of poisons, while Carmack is different because of the Apple machine.

As for why he entered the Youth House...

It's not complicated, and it's even ridiculous.

Carmack used his own aluminum heater with sticky Vaseline emulsion to melt the glass of the school's computer room. Because there was an Apple computer inside, his purpose was to quietly "borrow" the Apple computer.

Because he felt that instead of putting such a good Apple computer in school to eat dust, it would be better to do something more meaningful for him.

But things failed, and he and his friends touched the alarm and were surrounded by the police.

Later, when Carmack was asked, an inquirer asked him, "If you were not caught this time, do you think you would do something similar?"

Then Carmack said without hesitation, "Yes."

The result was that those friends who were with him had nothing to do, but he was tragically sentenced to enter the teenager's house for one year of upbringing and accompanying those teenagers who were taking drugs.

So, Jester knew that for Carmack today, an Apple computer was an irresistible temptation.

Jester could clearly see Carmak's look of surprise after hearing his answer.

Carmack licked his lips and asked in an extremely urgent tone: "Tell me, no matter how complicated the program is, I can complete it in the most concise and clear way."

For a programmer, programming is not difficult or easy, there is only the difference between complex and non-complex.

Their biggest dream is to write a complex program in a concise and clear way.

"Don't hurry." Jester smiled and did not say what he wanted Carmack to do, but repeated his first sentence again, "You have to go home first."

This time, Kamak did not show a disdainful expression with his lips, but a hesitant look appeared on his face for a few seconds, and then he nodded vigorously: "I promise you, I'll go home."

But after saying that, Carmack took out his pocket, looked embarrassed on his face, and said to Jester in a low voice: "But I don't have money."

"Haha!" Jester smiled, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out three hundred dollars from it and handed it to him, and said, "This money is enough for you to go home, but I will give this money to you for free. I will deduct it from the compensation I will give you in the future."

"Now you can tell me what you want me to do." Carmack pouted and put the three hundred dollars away, then curled his lips, "What a stingy."

Jester just smiled when he heard this.

"The first job I gave you was to design a small game for me, and the requirement was to be compatible with all current personal computers... As for the name of the game, I called it minesweeping."

When Jester's description of the game he called "mine-sweeping", Carmack's eyes lit up instantly.

“This game seems to be…good!”
