Time Travel: 2014

…

…

While looking through that cell phone from my past life for inspiration.

Lin Hui's attention was quickly attracted by the small game Life Over Simulator.

After clicking to enter this game, click Restart Now to enter the formal reincarnation simulation session.

Players must first draw cards for their restarted life, and choose three out of ten to match a set of very valuable talents.

After selecting these seemingly useless talents, players can enter the point investment link and invest a total of 20 points into the four attributes of appearance, intelligence, physical fitness and family background.

If your physique is too low, or your family background is not very beautiful, you will soon die before any operations are started. You will die from health conditions or regional gender equality issues shortly after reincarnation (obviously the player has no ability to resist).

If we can survive the infant and teenage years in a relatively healthy and prosperous manner after reopening, we will usher in a relatively long, ordinary adult life together. After the pre-operation is completed, the player can (and can only) keep clicking on the page to see the world news that happened every year or personal destiny (most of them are short-lived), and die at the end.

After you die, you will receive an overall evaluation of your life. The longer you live, the higher your attributes and the higher your score...

Very simple game settings.

However, among the many apps on Lin Hui's mobile phone, this small game is one of the few that Lin Hui has completed by himself.

But there’s nothing to show off, after all, this software barely uses any art resources.

The complexity is not high,

And this is just a follow-up.

What I am following is the small game Life Restart Simulator.

The software Life Restart Simulator was originally an open source web game uploaded to GitHub by a certain boss.

The boss may have just written it for fun at first, but he never expected that this little game would suddenly become a hit all over the Internet.

In just ten days, it gained 8.3K stars on GitHub.

It generated 200 million visits in three days.

Although this software was initially only available in HTML form.

But this does not prevent it from quickly spreading to other platforms.

Not long after, the Android version of the game of the same name was launched.

Once launched, it was a huge success.

Just one pod app store has nearly 1.5 million downloads.

While this game is very popular on the Internet, there has been no movement on the iOS side.

Lin Hui keenly saw the opportunity.

A decisive attempt was made to reproduce it.

Reproduction is not very difficult, after all, the design ideas and source code of this software are public.

What Lin Hui had to do was to change the HTML language to objective C.

Because no authorization was obtained.

In order to avoid some possible disputes, Lin Hui simply changed the name of the software to Life Again Simulator.

It also slightly enriches the plot.

Then it was launched on the Apple App Store...

Looking at the software now, Lin Hui felt more and more like this software that he was attracted to.

Restart your life?

Isn't this situation a restart of life?

Lin Hui decisively realized that he could also play this little game in this time and space.

Once this game becomes a hit again, it won't be a matter of minutes to earn the first pot of gold.

Moreover, in this time and space, Lin Hui didn't need to worry about crashing a car or anything like that.

It doesn't matter whether it's called Life Restart Simulator or Life Restart Simulator.

Just do it, Lin Hui decisively opened his MacBook Pro and downloaded Xcode to start working.

(Xcode is an integrated development tool (IDE) that runs on the operating system Mac OS X and is developed by Apple Inc. Xcode is the fastest way to develop macOS and iOS applications)

After all, this is the second time to create similar software, and Lin Hui is very familiar with it.

In addition, Lin Hui also saved the source code of the project in objective C format on his mobile phone.

Of course, having source code does not mean that it can be used directly.

After all, there are some differences between apps developed for iOS15 and apps developed for iOS7.

In addition, the version Lin Hui plans to upload is not the version he made slight changes to, but the version he plans to upload directly to GitHub.

After all, it was other people's version that became popular in the first place, not my own version.

Lin Hui didn't want to be unable to reproduce the success of this game in another time and space because of some show of talent.

However, even so, Lin Hui didn't spend much time.

By the evening of June 9, he had figured out all the contents of the software.

After several trial runs, Lin Hui found no problems.

After that, Lin Hui uploaded the software to the αapple app store using his developer account.

(ps: In actual operation, both developer account registration and software launch are very troublesome.

In fact, there are still some companies that specialize in the two businesses of registration on behalf of others and helping to get online. The steps are simplified here for smooth writing)

It's just that this time Lin Hui didn't set this software as a free download like in his previous life.

(ps: Free downloading does not mean no profit, free downloading can also make money through advertising)

Instead, it set a price of 6 yuan.

Just because it's uploaded to the Apple App Store doesn't mean everything is ok.

Still waiting for approval.

Although generally speaking, the review of games with such simple graphics is quite fast.

But Lin Hui didn't wait around.

Instead, he just rested.
