Video games-the way to programming Children's
Hobbies can sometimes have an incredibly large impact on a person's entire life. So it was with Peter I, and with his funny shelves, and with Elon Musk. During E3 2019, the inventor admitted that he started doing programming and computers because of video games. Elon Musk Elon Musk: "One of the reasons I got interested in technology, and probably the only one, is video games. If it weren't for them, I probably would never have started programming and become so interested in computers. I think this is a huge incentive for children to engage in technology. People are not yet fully aware of their potential. Many other Tesla and SpaceX engineers have followed the same path. Despite the fact that for them video games were only a source of inspiration or a starting point, the interactive entertainment industry employs, according to Musk, some of the best programmers in the world.
They have to create photorealistic graphics using very little power-this requires excellent code and resourceful ideas. Game developer Elon Musk When Musk talked about how much video games can affect the future of children and make them interested in technology, it was not just a beautiful abstract speech, but the real story of his life. After all, before becoming the founder of PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla and other companies, he was a game developer. The first program Musk wrote was Blastar, a space invaders-style shooter for the Commodore VIC-20. He developed this game in basic in 1984, when he was 12 years old. Not a bad achievement for a schoolboy, but Musk wouldn't be a mask without one more important detail. The future billionaire sold the blastar code to PC and Office Technology magazine for $ 500. You can play Blastar here. This is not the end of Musk's career in the gaming industry. In 1994, he completed an internship at a startup with the prophetic name Rocket Science Games. As a programmer, he was involved in the development of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm. The game received average ratings ? it was praised for its graphics and technical characteristics, but criticized for the monotonous gameplay and everything else. Mention of Elon Musk in the credits at 51: 48 The Creator of the game console, Elon Musk Although after 1994, Musk was not seen in the development of video games and did not even appear in them as a cameo (unlike films, TV series and cartoons), the inventor can be considered the Creator of some of the largest and most expensive consoles. We are talking, of course, about Tesla cars. In 2019, an update was released for Tesla's onboard computers, which adds several classic Atari games to them-Asteroids, Missile Commander, Lunar Lander and others. Cuphead and Stardew Valley later became available to electric car owners, and in January 2020, Musk teased fans by asking whether to add the Witcher game to the Tesla library. Musk is clearly not going to be limited to vintage and indie titles. In early may, he asked Twitter users if any of them could provide Tesla with a stable Minecraft with online multiplayer. Or come up with an augmented reality game-a mix of Pokemon Go and Mario Kart or Pac-Man that you can play while driving. At the moment, you can only turn an electric car into a console when it is parked. Hero or villain Elon Musk? The active masks in the Twitter discussion is hardly less than his achievements in the field of technology or business. Users search for hidden meaning in each post, and news about changing avatars or nicknames can easily overtake the most important political events of the week in popularity. A new round of searching for deeper meaning in Musk's Twitter account occurred in late April, when the head of Tesla installed a portrait of the main character of Deus Ex, JC Denton, as a profile image. It's possible that he just decided to pay homage to the great game, but some saw a ton of subtext in it. In the world of Deus Ex is rampant artificial virus "gray death", which led humanity to economic collapse. It was created by a trillionaire and the head of the most powerful Corporation, Bob page, who seeks to gain complete control over information in the world. In this story, it is he who is opposed by Denton. Not all Twitter users agreed that the mask matches Denton's image. Against the background of the inventor's claims about the allegedly exaggerated consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and the lack of need for quarantine measures, he was compared to the main villain of the game, Bob page. Elon Musk's favorite games Elon Musk often talks about video games, but he has never given any specific list of his favorite titles. However, from various interviews and posts, you can gather at least a dozen franchises that the inventor is fond of. Obviously, there should be a Deus Ex in the list. First of all, the original, because the plot of the last parts of the mask is not particularly impressed. He said this in an interview with Y Combinator. At the same time, Musk recommended Overwatch and Hearthstone, which his children love very much. A little later, the inventor reluctantly admitted that most often he plays for Soldier-76. During an AMA session on reddit, Musk stated that he likes shooters with a strong plot. As an example, he cited BioShock, Fallout, and Mass Effect (especially the second part). In addition, Musk said that he was once a big fan of civilization and Warcraft. Why he stopped being one, the billionaire did not specify. Musk also called one of his favorite games a satirical shooter Saints Row IV, which is perfectly combined with the sometimes extravagant behavior of the inventor. The head of SpaceX did not forget about the simulator of building spaceships Kerbal Space Program, the continuation of which is waiting for him along with other fans of the game. This was just a small part of the facts about Elon Musk and video games. For example, did you know that it prefers PCs to consoles? Or that his girlfriend will appear in cyberpunk 2077? And the design of the Cybertruck pickup was inspired by video games. How has your passion for video games affected your life?
