Robert Nay created Bubble Ball and Nay Gaming when he was only 14 years old. And he wasn’t a genius either. He found web design interesting and wanted to learn more. With no prior Coding or Web design experience before he creates Bubble Ball. Nay taught himself all the coding he needed at his local library and created his game in only one month. He had seen some games like it before but thought that he could do it better. Instead of letting someone else create a better app as most 14-year-olds would, he decided to take action into his own hands and do it himself. Bubble Ball ended up being a huge success it started out as a free-to-play game on the AppStore and slowly grew over time. He kept adding more and more levels and then ended up launching a pro version of the game that required purchase. His game was a huge success and even beat Angry Birds at one point for the #1 mobile game. A self-taught 14-year-old was able to create a #1 mobile game on the app store. Nay showed true Entrepreneurial talent when he decided to act on his idea instead of ignoring it. He chose to take action into his own hands and teach himself code. Nay is an inspiration to me and should be to everyone. It’s easy to think that creating a business requires too much money or expertise. But Nay proves us all wrong with bubble ball. He was able to teach himself to code and create Bubble Ball in a month. Think about what you could accomplish if you acted on your ideas instead of ignoring them. Be like Nay.
