View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine how to structure the code of a simple android game I am writing. I am focused on the UI portion. The behind the scenes portion (like a pause/restart/switching/etc) does not concern me. The Android demo games source code already do a great job with this. Essentially my game will need a UI with a series of objects on the screen (roughly 100 or 10x10) that the user can interact with. I need to supply an image for each object as well as implement the touch events and animation events for each object. What I am wondering is what type of class do I use for each object so that I can successfully implement these methods and how do I implement that particular class. Note that this game only executes on a user interaction with one of these objects, meaning I don't need a "real-time" implementation.....

I'm making a simple 2d game for the android platform, which works perfectly from version 2.0 and above, but when testing it on a 1.6 device, it crashes immediately. On running the debugger, it seems that I'm getting a null pointer exception in the thread class. I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas as to where the problem might be.
Maybe there's some compatibility issues with this code that I'm not aware of--I'm very much a beginner when it comes to using threads.
With the promising news of Flash support for Android what will the future of Android Game development?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe're looking for a method to properly scale our textures and world. The current method we're using is having an arbitrary world unit which calculates the screen resolution and receives the size of a pixel on all resolutions. However is there an easier way of implementing a scaling method for game development? We have looked through dip and other android native elements but these don't work as well for a larger scale on game development.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit hesitant to present this here already but today i put out the first architecturally frozen release of my game development library called libgdx. I go ahead and post the content of the description page of libgdx here so you get an idea what it is all about. A series of articles is currently in preparation at my blog at. I will continue extending the library in the near future and hope that some of consider joining the effort. Without further ado, here's a simple FAQ for libgdx. === What is libgdx? === Libgdx is my attempt at a cross-platform game development library written in Java with some JNI code for performance hungry code. It abstracts away the differences between writting an OpenGL application for the desktop via Jogl and doing the same for the Android platform.
This allows you to prototype and develop your application entirely on the desktop and only needing 6 lines of code to execute it on Android. Neat, so what does it offer? Libgdx offers modules for graphics via OpenGL ES, audio, input and file i/o. All modules abstract away system specifics so you can execute the same code on the desktop and Android. The graphics module offers full bindings to OpenGL ES 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. On the desktop almost all of the OpenGL ES functionality is emulated.
There are the following layout options to create interfaces for android.
AbsoluteLayout
FrameLayout
LinearLayout
TableLayout
RelativeLayout (and some more)
Which of the following is most suitable for designing simple games? Guessing that the absoluteLayout is easiest, but will it be problems with different screen sizes? What do you recommend?
Found this article which was pretty interesting. Points out many reasons why indie developers should look to Android for game development as opposed to other more popular services like the iPhone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a simple game to experience the multiplayer game development on mobile plaforms especially on Android and iOS. I'm now planning network/multiplayer side of the game and need some advice.
Firstly i think about Google App Engine as the server side of the game. But i learned that app engine cannot connect directly to clients. So updates of the users cannot be send to others directly with this method. Then i started to think about serving the game on one of the gamers of the current session. But of course some of the features will be on the server. You think it is a good idea?
Second, I'm looking for a protocol to communicate iOS and Android. YAML and JSON are the ones i looked so far.
Any other suggestions about multiplayer game development would be appreciated. Thanks...
I have a square grid, for a turn based game ( grid is similar to the chess board ), but the moves in the games are different based on whether you have lapped your opponent pawn at least once or not.i.e if you have not lapped (beaten any of the opponents pawns) in the outer most grid as below.if you have lapped your opponent pawn once at least, then you get to reach home,this way.Any player having all his pawns reaching "home" first wins.The ones in yellow are safe-houses, i.e both the opponent pawn and the player's pawn get to stay in the same grid, this is not considered to be lapping ( the opponent ).The lapped pawn will return to its start point.Now the question is, what is the effective way to store the paths for the all the pawns.we will have 4 pawns for the player and 4 opponent pawns.Is there any pattern to store such static information, in a elegant way?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a puzzle game with a 7x7 grid of graphics, and a timer, its just about ready to go. But I am stuck on how to go about saving/continuing game. For example when someone exits I want them to be able to save and exit, then come back and click continue to pick up where they left off with all of the graphics in the right place, timer and score. I looked at onSaveInstanceState android examples, but not sure if this is what I need or how to implement it in my case.

Or could someone create one? Not everyone needs an overcomplicated mess.
