U.S. 14-Year-old Boy Robert Nai (Robert Nay) Beijing time January 21 Morning News, the current iphone applications on the global download list, the top of the list of free apps is a "bubble ball" (Bubble Ball) Mini video game, The game was developed in the public Library by a 14-Year-old boy in Utah State, USA. His name is Robert Nai (Robert Nay), a eight-year student. He is also a music whiz, playing the piano, horn and mandolin. He says his inspiration comes from his passion for various video games and his interest in fiddling with computers. "I just want to develop an iphone app," Robert said in a recent interview. I think it's going to be cool. And I want to know if I can succeed. I have played some similar games, borrowed some of my favorite parts and added my own stuff. "Robert's Bubble Ball" is an intellectual and strategic game where players need to make floating bubbles reach a specific location, involving some physical principles. However, the game is not an imitation of other applications. His mother, Kerry Nai Kari Nay, said: "He spent countless hours on this, the final product contains more than 4,000 lines of code." He submitted the game to the Apple App Store on December 22, which appeared in the App Store on December 29 for users to download. "In the first two weeks of the launch of the bubble Ball on Apple's itunes website, the game was downloaded 1 million times and then topped the 2 million mark, replacing Angry Birds as the site's most popular free app." Robert also liked pizza and reading, and had an interest in computers at a very young age. He said that most of his computer knowledge is self-study. It is not surprising that his favorite course in school is maths. He set up his first website in third grade, won the reputation of science and technology genius among his classmates, and often helped teachers solve computer problems. However, he found the computer books and space needed to develop the game at the Public Library of Spanish Fork, home of Utah State, Spain. In addition, Robert has some entrepreneurial spirit. He is developing a new game that will include an app payment option that allows users to spend 99 cents so they can play at a higher level of the game. When asked about his advice to young people, Robert, who was busy tapping on a laptop keyboard, answered with almost no answer: "Pursue your dreams and do what you want to do." "(Chin Liang)
