December 27, 2017 at 10:13New Year's magic and gifts (version 2018)
Ho ho ho, as Santa would say! Habr, Happy New Year! It is time for magic, nostalgia, promises to become even better next year, and, of course, gifts. This article will be special: in it we will revive the picture (yes, the wonders of AR), recall the New Year's greetings from past years and, for the first time in history, we will play unique New Year's gifts (be sure there are no more than 200 of them in the whole world, I checked )
Let's agree “ashore” that today we will leave all the details of the development outside the article. Only New Year's magic!
But what if I tell you that the picture below can come to life?

New Year adventures are just beginning!
This year, we decided to recall the New Year cards that we made especially for you in recent years and, of course, congratulate you on the new 2018 greeting card!
Three years ago, we congratulated you on a New Year's card, in which there was a subtle hint that in the new year we wish you to distribute your forces correctly and find time for both work and leisure. Look at these cute hamsters!
Ready to train your fingers? In this congratulation you have to help the monkey climb into a tall building and deliver the tree to the New Year's corporate party. To do this, just press 2 buttons on the keyboard ... 2 different buttons that change every 5 seconds.
Last year, we invited you to travel back to 2086 and find out how technology has changed lives by then. To do this, we composed several futuristic stories together with science fiction writer Tim Skorenko.
New Year's Eve is not only a time of fulfillment of desires, but also a moment when we give ourselves a promise to become better. Therefore, in this new year, we invite you to find out with us what exactly you are capable of and pass the test .
First you have to answer a few questions about the technologies that were popular last year, so that we find out if you are ready for a new mission. After that, you can choose the difficulty level and get your mission. Let's conquer 2018 together!
Adventures do not end there. This year, together with the Typical Programmer community, we are playing unique Christmas gifts: a sweatshirt + a set of wooden badges.
