Me and my sister would like to create a platform game like Super Mario for android.
Where should we start? We don't won't a game engine because we want to create the game ourselves.
Any Programs to write the game in. We would like to create an Android app not a flash game or an HTML game.

I´m new on Android 3D game development. I would like to know if there any engine/ API/ platform about 3D development that I could use. Or any tip which you could give me, like where I could start looking for.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I'm in "progress" of making my first game on the Android platform. Since I'm out of ideas it'll be a remake of the classic C64 game "Deflektor". This is what I've got so far. Now, what I really lack is the ability to debug the app from withing the IDE (IntelliJ).

View 1 Replies View RelatedMost of the time I write code for embedded modules or small programs on my computer to analyze data that said code generates.Now I've been asked to prototype a mobile application to analyze/display that data instead.I have no (6-year old CS101) experience with either of the popular languages (Obj-C/Java?), let alone with any of the APIs/libraries available on the 4-5 popular mobile OSs, so I'm more or less at square one.Adapting the embedded hardware to talk to a phone is fairly straightforward, just add a Bluetooth module that I can configure to emulate a serial port (using SPP profile), but I don't know where to start on the other side.What sort of mobile OS/device should I target for ease/speed of developing a Bluetooth serial port profile (SPP) application from having equal (no) experience on them all?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently developing a small non-commercial game for Android which is based on OpenGL ES. Except for some minor issues (slow as crap emulator being the biggest) I've really enjoyed it so far and would love to continue developing for it. The question is: What are your thoughts on the future of Android as an environemnt for the game market? I read an article somewhere that said that the IPhone is the preferred platform for games, but since I don't own a Mac and won't bother with some complicated work around to get it to work on Windows I'm currently not interested in it. So, what do you think? Is it worth spending alot of time (and potentially money) on a larger Android game project?

I am trying to make a sniper style game where the user looks through a scope to see a large image that he can navigate. The user can only see part of the image at a time. The image is supposed to be much larger than the screen size that way he has to actually navigate and look for the enemy. How do I use an image that is larger than the screen that the user can navigate?It is kind of like when you are zoomed in to an image and you can pan the image and move it around to see different parts.

I am new to Android Development. What I want is to know how I have to begin thinking to program a neat, sexy GUI. I guess the android.opengl API is a good starting point. Let's say we wanna create something like a simplified 3D-Pool-Billard-Game: You see the table from the top and you have on the table the balls. You want to make them realistic (shadow, gloss).
What kind of Graphics do I need?
How to begin coding?
What kind of classes do I need? For each element (ball, table, ..)?
Where to create and encapsulate the "3D-ness"?
If you know better/additional questions, just add them or/and let me know in which direction I have to think in this case of developing. My skills/background on Java: I've programmed a lot in Java EE and used to handle graphical output with JSP/JSF. So this mobile SE for Android is new to me. Hope to get some intersting stuff together for a smooth access.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedFor example, I just purchased an HTC One which is running the very latest Snapdragon S600 chip and Adreno 320 and I'm comparing it to the iPhone 5 (A6 and PowerVR SGX543MP3).
Here are a few applications (mostly games) that I've tried on both devices:
* Fruit Ninja - Touch input is delayed by about half a second on the HTC One but instant on iOS.
* Simpons Tapped Out - The voice sometimes stutters and moving buildings just isn't as fluid as iOS.
* Browser (Chrome and Android default) - Scrolling isn't as smooth.
Like I said, I'm honestly not biased one way or the other but this is just what I have noticed. The iPhone 5 has a much lower resolution but I've also had similar results on the iPad Mini (1024x768 resolution).
Does every application written for Android need to optimized for every individual CPU and perhaps these applications weren't optimized yet?
I just bought a tablet, and want to restore a few apps to it (I can install them from the market, but it's the data I'm more interested in). Is this a no-no?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend has a Motorola DROID RAZR and his whole ICS platform looks different and when I say that, I mean his folders look smaller, his whole theme looks different and everything compared to my Samsung Galaxy s2. Is there anyway to make my ics look like his?
Here are images of what I'm talking about.
I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !
What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If I plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.
Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?
in short:
- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?
- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?
- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice).

I have created an simple game on Windows (7). The game is great but I think it will be better on a smartphone / tablet.
Now my question. Is it possible to port my game from Windows to Android or do I have to program it from scratch new? It would be also ok if I can use parts of my code on Android. I have a basic knowledge on android-programing.
