so like in the grand scheme of things i missed the launch boat of github ....then when i did learn about it i found it confusing ..
Just for the record, git existed way before github (It's a software from Linus Torvalds ). You can use git without using any online service. If you don't like github, which is understandable, there are a myriad of others suppliers that allow you to publish a git repo online, or you can even self-host one (for example by hosting your own gitlab instance).
It's just that it allows way better collaboration, and to follow the evolution of the software and the source code (versioning). With google drive we have no way to understand when a source file has been changed, what had been changed, why has it been changed, and in what realese of the software. There is no easy way for someone to propose you a modification of the code.
So I really think it might be worth that you give it another try, if you want to work on open-source projets, because it will allow for a better collaboration with others, and get more feedback! 
Ps: personally I'm not a gamer at all!
I will see if I can test the application a bit later, but I won't be able to give you a gamer feedback.
