Doorak began as a relatively small practical project: a way to experience the full process of building a mobile application, preparing a store listing and release build, and publishing it.

The work gradually outgrew that original idea. It is now a functioning throw-in and transfer Durak game with its own rules engine, reproducible matches, eight AI characters with different playing styles, local history, and local-network games for 2–6 participants. Players can join a room using a QR code, and the interface is available in Russian and English.

Public versions of the game are now available on both mobile platforms: the App Store for iPhone and iPad and Google Play for Android. Development continues: real-player feedback will show what deserves attention after release.

It has already become something larger than an exercise in publishing a first application. The useful next step is to see how the game feels outside the development process and decide where it should go from here.

Doorak follows a local-first approach: settings, profile data, history, and replays remain on the device by default. The current Privacy Policy is published as a separate project document below.
