Looking for games/physics engines to use for mobile game development.
iPhone there is
Cocos2D
Android I've found
RokonAndroid
Just wondering if there are any others (better ones) that anyone knows of? Or any that are more cross-compatible?

I've looked around for a physics engine that will play nicely with Android, but I've only been disappointed. In terms of performance, I had heard that jbox2d was the best bet, but (from my understanding) ever since Android SDK V1.0, the Dalvik VM's verifier has become very strict and rejects some of the key classes and refuses to run. This problem persists after using the dx tool (although I might be using the tool improperly). I know that the AndroidBox2D porting project exists to optimize jbox2d for the Android garbage collector, but the project page doesn't have any downloads and the gpl license isn't as attractive as the zlib license of the original. Does anyone have any tips for making jbox2d work in Eclipse, or have any recommendations for where I should start looking?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to try any physics engine for 2D and 3D in Android. So far I have learn that JBullet and JBox2d can be used, and JBox2d is a better one among them. But there in not much available documentation available and it even uses some concepts which are not supported by Android like Applets.Even some posts in various forums suggested that there are still no ideal physics engines available for Android. Are there any plans for implementing specific physics engines for Android? Can OpenGL be used for these ? Help me out in deciding which physics engine is best suitable for Android.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am hopefully getting an evo soon. Tomorrow if there are any available. Are there any games to download/buy from the market that have good physics. I saw demolished which doesn't look too bad. Any suggestions. Also any games that are very simple and well made that require nothing but for you to play repeatedly and beat a highs core you previously set.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been enjoying playing a few physics based games lately. Can anyone recommend any others? These are what I have tried on android so far:
Space physics
Angry birds
Blow up
Shoot U
Space Physics is easily the most fun game I've ever played on my Android!! Maybe on anything actually.But I'm passed all 80 levels and now Idk what to do Is there anything close to the same, or the same type of game?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at building a game for Android and I've looked around for any sort of insight into how to approach it.I've run across a few game engines for the platform and I'm wondering if any of you have had experience in using them.I worry about spending a lot of time building an app that relies heavily on a game engine, that maybe is abandoned at some point or becomes incompatible with future versions of Android. However, some of the "out of the box" functionality appears to be nice to have.Just curious to hear if any of you have looked into this at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am planning to develop a game for all of the mobile platform and have pretty much zeroed down on the concepts of the game. but the only issue I'm facing as of now is that I have no idea what would be the best libraries + 3d Engine to us to achieve the best results on the hardware on some of the upcoming mobiles. I'm talking about the iPhone 3GS, the new WinMo and Android devices with the famed Snapdragon, other processors from Samsung, ARM, Qualcomm and even Intel and AMD.as of now i plan to use the ogre libraries for now, but then what will offer portability?? This is much more of a design question rather than just coding. Any help is appreciated, others who wish to collaborate are very much welcome too. just drop me a mail.

View 3 Replies View Relatedis there any way of modding how the scrolling behaves?
i mean the scrolling in gb was smooth and had almost non-friction while in ics it stops faster-more friction...
is there a way of modding the friction and other stuff that are involved in the scrolling behaviour?(i mean the android general scrolling of lists and pages... not the app specific scrolling engines)
root app that can change scrolling physics and add new stuff like bounciness and some cool other behaviours like a way of changing the elasticity and touch filtering...)
the market is full of nonsense apps that are clones of other useless apps or just junk that no one cares about... it would be cool to have more tools to customize our systems!
how to set up an android phone to use multiple text-to-speech engines without having to go to the settings to switch back and forth between them. I currently use IVONA in Anki for learning languages where IVONA's range of different voices is perfect. However, when using TTS for ebooks or RSS feeds I'd rather the CereProc's Scottish voice. While it seems you can have more than one engine active whichever you select as the default (even with "always use my settings" turned off) seems to override whatever you select in other apps. This means if IVONA is set as default and I select CereProc in FBReader it'll use IVONA or not play at all. Vice versa with Anki.
Going through all the menu settings to switch between them is ridiculous for something that should be so simple - and how you would expect it to function. Is it possible to permanently associate a particular TTS engine with a particular app ignoring whatever is set to default? Or failing that - is it possible to create a shortcut I could have on the home-screen to quickly switch between the two instead of going through all the sub-menus?
I am a newbie "thinking" of writing a physics game app. I did see some engines, but most of them have no good demos or docs. So can you guys please point me to any physics engine with lot of demos/sample codes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of, or have implemented, a physics engine which runs smoothly in Android? I have spent the last couple of days trying Phys2D and JBox2D, however both perform very poorly - I am struggling to get even a few objects to simulate smoothly as frequent garbage collection spoils it. One question I do have is will these run smoother on an actual G1 device or is the performance of the emulator accurate?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSeriously, emulation is not good for performance, but most roms running on gensoid look and play better that games developed for Android. Sonic 3 looks lovely, runs at 60fps and never stutters. It even seems to look higher rez than most Android apps.Android platformer games are nowhere near as good looking or smooth.So what the hell is going on? The hardware on top end Android phones (Desire, galaxy etc) is clearly capable.

I wouldn't care if it didn't fit my whole screen. There are some games that I really want to play again (Space Trader, Strategic Commander (does anyone know of another game like this)).

Question: why does the android platform not have games that are as good??
I remember seeing one games, I think it was called scooter - the whole damn screen moved as u mived the iphone left and right I only played for a minute - but it looked damn awesome why dont we have as good games! the persons phone: heck, it was only an iphone 3g - so u cant say it was better hardware or anything angry birds - I like - apart from that, I haven't seen any games I would even rate (ok, so angry birds is just worms game reinvented - but the subtle use of great graphics make it brilliant)
Important: I have an x10 mini pro which is STILL running android 1.6 - is this the reason why? are there better games on 2.1 and 2.2? or is it to do with the fact that there are better developers for the iphone?
Are there any multiplayer interactive games where someone with an Android phone can play with someone who has an iPhone? I'm looking for something like Words With Friends where two people who have iPhones can play scrabble together.

When will we start seeing decent games being developed for the Android platform?If Worms or Angry birds ported over they could make a killing on the Android Market whilst still only charging a quid or two for the download
