Cocos Big Cousin: The essence of all technology is a mathematical problem丨Interview with the lecturer of ECUG Meetup

At 13:30 on June 26th, Cocos Engine Evangelist Li Yang (name: Big Cousin) will be at the "ECUG Meetup Phase 1 Hangzhou Station" event co-sponsored by ECUG x Qiniuyun. The audio and video application in the engine" is the theme for sharing. (Reminder: For event registration, you can scan the QR code at the end of the article or click the registration link ~)

To help everyone better understand the details of the event and the lecturer, the ECUG activity team conducted a simple interview with the lecturer. The text is now excerpted as follows:

1. Personal articles

1. Please try to introduce yourself with three keywords

Self-discipline breakthrough

2. Introduce what you want to share in one sentence

I will use the Cocos engine to explain the application of audio and video in the game, and share the UI interaction content of the recently popular video in the education editor.

3. The origin of the nickname "Big Cousin"?

I don't know why, everyone just called it when the program debuted. However, I do like Jennifer Lawrence very much.

4. What is your favorite game to play? Which one do you think is the best game you have ever made? why?

What I like to play is the more tacky Glory of the King. I like to play Zhu Ba Jie, which is so desperate, ah ha ha ha ha... The best I have ever done is the Fishing Master series. At that time, it was a development model combining Cocos2d-x and C++. , After all, it is a phenomenal game, with more than 100 million players, I still feel very proud.

2. Technology

1. With the development of technology in the audio and video field, has there been some "involution" phenomenon? What is it if there is?

Since I am in the game engine industry, the use of audio and video technology is mostly at the application layer, and there is not much internal volume. But I think the essence of "involving" is contention, so I hope that the industry can devote more time and energy to content creation based on technology, so as to further stimulate content aggregation in other fields.

2. What do you think is the core issue of audio and video technology at this stage?

In fact, I have always thought that everything related to computers can essentially be attributed to mathematics. Audio and video technology, from the collected raw data, encoding, compression, encapsulation, and sending through the transmission protocol, the client separates and extracts the audio and video data, decodes and renders it to the screen. This whole process is all about restoring the scene, and whether it can truly simulate the most real scene is essentially a problem of algorithm, which is rooted in mathematics.

3. What are your expectations for the application of audio and video technology in the future?

For games, expect to have more interactive behaviors with users during audio and video playback. Although audio and video have some social behaviors (messages, brushing gifts, etc.), they are essentially one-way communication. Therefore, it is hoped that users can participate more in this process, and generate different feedbacks through intelligent recognition of user behaviors.

3. Industry

1. As a girl, is there any special place in the programmer industry where men occupy the vast majority?

As a female developer, I don’t have a lot of people around to help me solve problems. In this industry, everyone is recognized by their ability. After all, what everyone needs is the ability to solve problems and implement products.

2. With the development of society, gender labels are gradually being weakened. In your opinion, for the developer field, what changes and differences will be brought about by the participation of female members?

Whether it is a developer, whether it is in the developer field, or a profession that the public considers female-dominated, such as teachers and nurses, it is easy to be labelled, just like "check shirts, backpacks, black-frame glasses" are programmers The same label. In fact, in the field of developers, there is no difference between women and men. They are technical, strong, and vigorous. These are all determined by human personality and job requirements, not gender. In recent years, the proportion of girls in the developer field has increased. I remember that in 2013, there was only one girl in a group, and there would be a situation of being assimilated with men surrounded by men. Now that there are more female colleagues around me, everyone will be more harmonious in communication.
