I've technically had an app in the store for a few years now. Google will probably remove it eventually because I've ignored all of the emails they sent demanding that I give it a content rating and fill in some more summaries.
Its a lego scale calculator that tells you how big of a model you need for any real world object, and I just had the idea to do manhattan in lego. So I downloaded it. Turns out its still in the store, and the ads are still working, which makes me think there should be some $$ for me somewhere.
Anyway.
Manhattan is 13.4 miles long. Replicating it at minifig scale would require a model 4.2 football fields long (or 0.2 miles). Hmm....actually I think my app has the size of football fields wrong. Lets just say 1547 feet. The model would need to be 1547 feet. So a two bedroom apartment would not, in fact, be large enough to house the model. Also, I believe the volume of lego bricks necessary would exceed the sum all of the legos ever produced by the lego company.
Obviously I could reduce the scale drastically, but I have no interest in those types of models.
[Edit]
p.s. apparently I have earned $1.64 with my app, however admob thinks it owes me $0. So that's sad.
p.s.s. apparently I need to earn $10 to even select a payout method. Maybe I should make an app that people actually use.
