Creation of an Android game – #2 Gathering the tools

The first day I started downloading the latest version of all the need tools, just to avoid any problem I could encounter in the future.

So, a brand new JDK 7 , the latest version of Eclipse for Java Developers,  the Android SDK, and all the Eclipse Plugins, to develop for Android 2.1 and above.

The I prepared a new folder ready to contain all the resources:

–          A new eclipse workspace

–          Images, Videos and Sound for the game

–          3^rd party libraries, such as Google Analytics, Flurry, Scoreloop and so

–          Downloads related to the game development

–          Useful samples found on the web

And finally, I created the new Android Project, codename “Andro2012”, as at that time the name was not yet decided.

Ready to start some programming!
