Motorola Droid X :: Galcon - New Multiplayer Game
Aug 17, 2010
Galcon, previously a PC game, has now been released on Android!
It's $3 and you can play it both single-player and multiplayer. It's pretty fun. Matches are over fairly quickly so it's good to pick up and play for a couple minutes.
The game works fine on my Droid X, but there seems to be an issue with Swype and the text input boxes. You can't Swype to type--instead, you have to tap each letter. Also, you can't seem to delete using Swype. Also, there is a bug where the number 0 won't register in the text box. These are pretty minor issues since entering your username and password is about the only typing you'll do in this game, but it's something to be aware of.

I have to develop a multiplayer game. The game will be supported between different platforms: 1) Two android clients. 2) Android client and a web application (something like facebook and android client for Texas- Holdem game).
I want to handle the communication between the platforms through a service.
I have asp.net (C#) background so I thought to implement the communication using WCF service but I am not sure this is the best choice?! Can you please tell me if my choice is good or should I choose other approach to implement the communication?

I am getting started in android development and I really want to create some form of online game. My goal is to start out with a turn- based game and move onto advanced multiplayer games. I want to have users associated with their google account, provide some sort of matchmaking to pair people together, have their stats stored in a database, and use the stats for various leaderboards and such. I have read over an older discussion on this list at http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg75... . There was a lot of good information that I gathered but I still have some questions. What I have so far is an apache web server on a laptop that I don't need right now (2.0Ghz Core 2, 3GB Ram).
I have never really used Java (although I'm learning it for android), but I know C/C++, Perl, and Python. I am in the process of learning mysql databases, which will help with a lot of the stats features I want to implement. I have built a HTTP/1.1 persistent server in C before which did JSON parsing and used a threadpool so I am somewhat familiar with the low-level network calls needed. However, I'm thinking that a free server software must exist that would offer more security and better load-balancing than the server I created. One solution I am thinking is to just use the Apache web server, have android make a request to a perl module I create on the server, and then have the server look it up on a database and so forth. Then the server will just keep sending back the player locations or whatever. Will the Apache web server slow me down for what I am trying to do or I am looking at everything the wrong way? Are there some settings in Apache that I could tweak to give me better latency such as persistent connections?

I am developing a multiplayer game on android. I am having a Java server and android client. The android client issues multiple requests and receives responses from the server. However the performance is not smooth. At times the data received at the Java server is not what I send from android. It is junk or zeroes. However, some times, data is correctly received.
I was wondering is there any data loss in between and why? I am using java.net on both ends. Please let me know if anybody was facing a similar problem anytime during android development.

Mages is multiplayer client/server game engine for Android and other mobile devices (currently Android and J2ME devices are supported, development for Windows Mobile in the progress). It allows developers to create internet multiplayer games by implementing only core game logic and GUI by using powerful engine API.

I want to develop a multiplayer game. The game will provide communication between different platforms:
1) Two android clients (client applications that communicates through a service).
2) Android client and a web application (internet application) which is something like facebook (web) and android client for some kind of game. I want to handle the communication between the platforms ((1) android to android and (2) android to web) through a service.
I have asp.net (C#) background so I thought to implement the communication using WCF service, but I am not sure this is a good choice. Can I handle the communication using WCF or should I use other approach? Can you please recommend me a good approach to implement the communication?

I'm wanting to add 2 player mode to a game, but I want this mode to be able to run over the internet.
My idea is to setup a game state server that would maintain information on the moves made or current game state.
The game clients would send information to this server and request updates via xml.
I would just like to know if this is the best way / only for to clients to send game information to each other over the internet? Any advice on this would be good.

I'm developping a simple realtime action game 4 Android. It works nice. but now i want deal with animation FPS and i'm facing a big problem i can't solve since couple days now.
I started from the famous Lunar Android sample using facebook. got 55-60 frame per second on my G1. it smelt good for my game i thought ... BUT when i plugged the surface view in my game i got a poor 6-9 Frame per second making the game unplayable.
After debugging removing all content of my doDraw used by the thread controlling the surface view i found the problem.
The problem is not the quantity of sprites i displayed but the concurrency between threads used for receiving my game data over TCP and the UI thread i use to control surface view.
If when i start displaying the game i stop the my socket protocol threads (reader, writer) the game is refreshed at 25 FPS which is not 50 FPS but large enought to make the game playable.
So my question is how in realtime game for android i can send / received data (and not delayed of course) without killing the game refresh rate.
Last thing i use canvas and not open gl but i don't need open gl and i really see the problem comes from the multithreading.

I am an android developer and I made some board games. Now i want to make some of my board games multiplayer. I don't want to create and host my own web service, so i thought about P2P.
The first thing i found was the XMPP protocol, however it's not real P2P, but if i can use the existing google talk service, i'm ready to go. Is this possible while using your existing google account without interfering with the normal working of your google talk client?
Then i heard about JXTA, a real P2P solution, and it's already ported from J2ME to Android (http://code.google.com/p/peerdroid/).
Maybe i am overcomplexing things here (as i do sometimes)
I just want to know the easiest way to do simple P2P for a boardgame.

I'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 worked with both the BGP100 and Zeemote on other mobile platforms. They both work quit good with action games. The buttons/keys can be user programmable meaning with the proper driver you can configure the buttons for game specific actions. This worked well under other platforms.
Im considering investing some time in the development of a driver to work with these.

Alright I have 3 more Google Voice invites. Of course they aren't free! I have 3 numbers in my head between 1-20. Each person only gets 1 guess for the first hour. If all 3 are not taken in that first hour then everyone can guess until they get it. My girlfriend has posted the correct numbers somewhere in this forum, so that everyone knows I'm not just making up numbers.

As we all know the droid's d-pad is located under the screen on the slider. I just wonder has anyone ever come to a situation where an app or a game needs a d-pad, but doesn't support the landscape mode, so you have no choice but to use the phone in portrait with the slider open.
and in that case would the "up" button(in landscape mode) become the "right" button, or does it still recognize it as an UP button? Is it comfortable to hold the phone that way?
I could imagine some games that are designed for the Hero/magic would require you to use the d-pad/trackball.

I'm developing a game for android, and texture problem has been reported on Motorola Droid phones. (Missing/white background in the menu and during the game).
I've tried to fix this with changing the texture sizes to power of 2 (I used jpeg images as backgrounds, and they wasn't power of 2, however this worked fine on all my test devices).

I travel a lot and I'm always trying to listen to my local channels, iheartradio is the only streaming app that has the specific channel I want to hear. I have the Eris and it seems the streaming quality is not to good, constantly cutting out.
Question is would the Droid X pick up this station or this app better than the Eris?
I also have At bat MLB 2010, no problems what so ever it seems it plays no matter where I'm at, tried the NFL app to listen to the Bengals game last week it was almost as bad as iheartradio.
Is it more the app or the phone? I know my call reception with the Eris is not great. but like I said MLB comes in great.
