Hey guys. My name's Djinne (I.G.N. on EUW), and it's my dream job is to be an independent app developer. I originally was going for a career in Medicine (which I still tell people I want to do, primarily to make my parents happy), and actually got an offer from one of the most competitive med schools in the country. However, I missed out on the grades, and through kneejerking through the "clearing" process, am now studying a generic science subject which bores me to tears (quite literally). I've recently been thinking a lot about how one day my life is going to be over, and to be honest, if I can have a shot at doing my dream job, even if the chance of it happening is minuscule, I'm willing to at least give it a shot.

Over the past few months of on-off playing, I've climbed from Bronze V to Silver V (maining Zilean mid). However, over this period, my CS score hadn't improved nearly as much as I would have liked (60-70CS by 11 minutes in a good game). I've always wanted to be able to hit Phreak's benchmark of 100 CS by 11 minutes, but practicing CSing in a custom game was rather dull, and practicing in ranked or normals always ended up in my killing my opponent (Zilean's bombs are pretty heavy). So I decided to make a dedicated CSing app, which I could use during loading screens to warm up for games, and ultimately improve my CSing in a controlled, opponent-free environment.

The app itself is a last-hitting simulator with 6 minions, whose health bars decrease as they are attacked by your friendly minions (not visible on the screen). Your goal, like in League, is to last hit the minions when their health bars reach a certain point, and to beat your highscores for 10 waves, and your highest streaks. There are 3 difficulty levels, Bronze, Gold, and Diamond, which affect your AD and attack speed. The main purpose of the app is to practice last-hitting in your free time, and during loading screens, to overall improve your ability to time last hits in-game.

I released it today, so if you wanna check it out, it's available on the Android Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bipbapapps.lollasthit

I was going to make an iOS version, but as it turns out, you need to have a Mac to develop apps for Apple products. So unless I manage to raise enough funds through this app to get myself a minimum-level Mac, the app's only available on Android for the time being.

If you made it this far, thanks for listening to my story! I hope you like my app.
