Fake Novella: a small game, the development of which taught me a lot and another ban from Google

Many people know the feeling when they feel the energy from the very idea that will allow them to move mountains and develop a complete application, and not to replenish the cemetery of workover works.

But dreams for romantics, but in real life everything goes on. Search. Development.
