With 160,000 activations per day, it seems like a lot of us are using android devices, but there aren't many great or addictive games like there are on the iphone. Anyone have any reasons why?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a beginner android developer and thinking about making a decently big game. I know that Flash air is only available to android 2.2 and future releases, but should I still make the game using Flash? Using Java would imo be so much more difficult and time consuming, but I suppose all android versions would be able to run it. Also, how efficient can android 2.2 run Flash Air? Can a game made in Flash Air run almost as fast as the game made with Java?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've followed the excellent article on game development here: http://www.rbgrn.net/content/54-getting-started-android-game-development, and started my game based on the Lunar Lander example. The Lander example re-draws the background and everything else on each "tick". I basically followed its example and I'm using my game's background image to essentially "clear" the canvas so that I can re-draw everything from a clean slate. This, as I've found, has a negative impact on performance as my game is beginning to slow down. My question is, what's the best way to optimize this? If I want to "clear" only certain parts of my canvas, how do I do that? I've read the documentation for android.graphics.Canvas, but am getting confused by a lot of jargon I don't understand such as "clip" and "matrix".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make a tile based game for android. At the moment I am drawing each tile as a separate bitmap. I have a big for loop that reads from a string and draws different tiles depending on what character it finds to draw the level. I have allowed the user to scroll the screen using scrolling gestures. However the game is too slow. It takes a long time to update the screen after the user scrolls. I presume this is because it has to draw each tile's bitmap individually. What would be a faster way to draw the level? I was thinking I could merge all the tiles into one bitmap. But I don't know how to do this.
Anyway here is my code so you can see the problem:
package org.example.tutorial2d;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener;
import org.example.tutorial2d.Panel;
public class Tutorial2D extends Activity implements OnGestureListener {
GestureDetector gestureScanner; Panel main;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
gestureScanner = new GestureDetector(this);
//requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
main = new Panel(this); setContentView(main); }
@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me) {
return gestureScanner.onTouchEvent(me); }
@Override public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float distanceX, float distanceY) {
main.handleScroll(distanceX,distanceY); return true; }
@Override public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) { return true;
} @Override public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) { return true;
} @Override public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e){
} @Override public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e) {
} @Override public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) { return true; } }
And the class that does all the work:
package org.example.tutorial2d;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import org.example.tutorial2d.Point;
public class Panel extends View {
private int scrollX = 0; private int scrollY = 0;
public Panel(Context context) { super(context);
} @Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
/*Bitmap scratch; //Drawable scratch;
//scratch = getContext().getResources().getDrawable(
// R.drawable.icon); canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);
//scratch.draw(canvas); int origin = 0;
scratch = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.horizontal5);
canvas.drawBitmap(scratch, origin, origin, null);
int width = scratch.getWidth(); int height = scratch.getHeight();
scratch = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.room4entrynesw3x3);
canvas.drawBitmap(scratch, origin + width, origin - 32, null);

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'd like to announce the release on the Android Market of our last creation: 1 Minute Game. The main concept is very simple. The computer shows puzzles based on numbers, shapes and colours: the player must solve them and touch the correct answer to go to the next round, trying to be as fast as possible. We implemented 3 different modes that must be unlocked by playing more and more. You can play games under the "Training" areas so to train yourself and challenge your friends locally (there are 6 slots to store the profiles of the players).
Online Challenge
But the core of 1 Minute Game is the online challenge, which allows the players (once per day) to play a special match and to send the result to an online leader board. Each score shows also the nationality selected by each player try to get your country at top of the ranking. The ranking is visible both through the application and visiting the web site of the game.
Free DLC
In order to make the game more appealing and let you enjoy it for more time, we are developing new games to be released for free in the next versions of the application. For example, this morning (it's a matter of minutes) we will release the version 1.1 which contains a brand new game in the training section: The intruder. In each round, all of the objects shown on the screen share the same characteristic (same shape, colour, number or animation) except for one: that's the Intruder!
New games of logic will be released once they are completed and fully tested through future news.
LITE version
There is also a LITE version in the Market: 1 Minute Game LITE (limited number of levels, no online challenge and 2 slots to store the users' profiles), so you can try it and see if it is worth to buy the Full one. This LITE version includes the additional training "The Intruder" as well.
DOWNLOAD
the game can be downloaded from the Android Market. Just search for its name or click on these links with the browser of your Android smartphone:
FULL version - market://search?q=pname:com.wepromite.oneminutegame

View 15 Replies View RelatedI want to make simple game on Android. But i don't know the approach to start. So any 1 can help me from where i should start and which particular API (package).
I don't know nothing. So start with first step.
There has been discussion on other boards, but emulators and game ports may take a while and depend on if Android is opened for some native code access. The author of my favorite WM emulator, Smartgear (great multi system emu for NES, GBC and Turbografx and Sega) has told me that the "Java" layer is required, so not only do you have to emulate the game systems, you have to also interpret the "Java" layer and this results in slow emulation even on the G1. He wants to release a port of his emu to Android, but says it will not happen until Android has native code access. Coreplayer is another program that is having issues due to Java on Android. They want to port the their media app but state that there is currently too much cpu overhead because any codec not native to the OS ALSO has to go through the "Java" layer. If all things stay constant, this does not mean there will not be emulators, but it does likely mean that even a Gamboy emu will be slow on the G1 or any other Android device. I put quotes around Java, because the container in the OS is more a hybrid of Java, but the cpu overhead is still the same. We will probably not see Doom, Quake, MAME or any full speed emulator with sound until Google opens the OS up to some native code access. Google demoed Quake, but it apparently did not go through the Java layer restriction. I would like to know if they used the SDK or used code native to the cpu. I tend to believe others that the OS will be opened up more by Google, but how long will this take?
