Going to the point, today we'll talk about: Atari, Steve Jobs
and Breakout. Whats the relation? Come to discover!
The Breakout game was produced in 1975, by Atari
Was one of the greatest Company hits
The gamer was pretty simply,
the gamer only need to control a board
and destroy some little blocks
But, how its about Jobs? In 1974 Steve Jobs
was hired by the Atari Company
This fact get her colegues a little jealous and distrustful.
The team of engineers did not like Steve weird style.
He usualy weard colorful clothes
and didn't take a shower often. Didn't change his clothes
Let his beard grow a lot
He definitely didn,t belongs to that group
In the other hand, the Jobs task in the Atari Company was pretty creative and evolutive
His misson was getting the Cyan Enginnering better
That was a Grass Valley Company, partner of Atari
Although the Breakout Game was very popular and Atari gained Milions Dollares with that.
It was very expensive to be produced. Because was required a lot of expensive chips
In that time the Game Program was a low level one,
wich was a mix between addressing memory and arrange chips.
Therefore a team of engineers was envolved in the process.
Construct a Breakout Card was a very complicated and expensive task
The Atari CEO in that time, Nolan Bushnell
Create a Challenge for his employers:
Recriate the Breakout Board with less chips than the original one.
The goal was turn the Breakout production process cheaper
Make more units of it and grow the Atari profits
That fact gave to Job a greate idea
He invite his best friend
Steve Wozniak, aka "Woz" to help him to overcome that chalenge
To project together a more eficient and cheaper board
After four hard work days
finally they create a better card,
and "Woz" managed to win the contest
The project reduced the complexity from 150 chips to only 46.
and they didn't change nothing in the game aspect
As was dealed, Jobs win the 750 dollars reward
Splitted that money fifth - fifth with Woz
375 dollares for both colegues and friends.
Everyone was Happy!
No way! The reward wasn't 750 dollars. The Company was offering 5000 dollares for that contest.
But that fact was revealed a lot of time later.
When Jobs had spent the money
Steve Jobs was a very Clever Guy
Years later, with the experience of his Atari Times he invited her friend Woz
Both became partners in a new company named Apple.
The end of the history everyone knows.
The company became a Giant in the computer and devices market,
like your Iphone, your Ipad and your apple home computer.
