I may have to check that out. I did look at Beginning Android 4 Games and I agree with the critics, it was literally the same book with 10 new pages. I was looking at the new version in a PDF and comparing it to my older version in the book form and was amazed that they could get away with that.

I just want to give my plug for this book (Beginning Android Games) by Mario Zechner. I think it is useful for anybody that is wanting to make an Android game. Some of it is a little antiquated but the concepts are still good. I haven't got to the Open-GL portion of the book yet but it looks as if t...

There is not typically a progression line, and characters tend to advance horizontally instead of vertically (i.e., you get more skills and different choices, but you don't specifically get more powerful; a new player could actually join a player who has been playing for months and meaningfully add...

It is more like dungeon raid (that is what gave me the inspiration to do this). You use the swipe. You have to match at least three of a kind.

Are you working in 2D or 3D? That android emulator screenshot is 2D. Is your goal building a game or engine? The only thing in that screenshot that I could not accomplish with a Listview and custom drawables is the blue line between the icons. I'd have to use a scrollview and a relative layout inst...

Hello all, Since last being on the forum I graduated with a programming degree and now actually work as a programmer *yeah* Anyway I am working on building a game on the android system. currently I am using a SurfaceView but I have noticed some places mentioning GLSurfaceView. My question is, when s...

I think Halls way is going to be best here. I thought about just doing a bunch of new cells, but it would be like 40 new cells (one for each building plot in the city). So that is just a 142 long int (2 spots per number to tell what type of building, 2 to show the level) which is much easier...also ...

Sweet!!

I think this is exactly what I need. Thanks
