]]> So you want to know how to make an Android game?

In this blog I will not create a “yet another Android game tutorial” as you may find by dozen search on the web.

I will try instead to reassemble the steps it took me to create a complete, playable and distributable Android game, also reporting the results of such process so you may have an idea of what your are going to face, if you wish to prove yourself on creating a new game.

I hope you will enjoy the site and participate with your comments and suggestions, and hopefully someone will find these contents useful.

 

Happy gaming, happy programming!

]]> 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

–          3rd 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!
