What You Need to Create Android Games
Book Description:
This book teaches you to create your own games for Android 3.0 tablets. After reading and working through its examples, you’ll have gained command over the sensors, touchscreen, network capabilities, and processing power of the many new tablet computers. Does that sound daunting? It isn’t. Instead of going through the drudgery of developing stodgy corporate apps that locate a store or present a coupon, you’ll know how to make fun and intriguing games. If you’ve done some game development in the past, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how simple the Android system makes this process when compared to traditional PC and console game development. Although no book ever written can take you from newbie to game programming guru, the foundation presented in this book will let you make any of your 2D game ideas into a reality. This book makes the programming as simple as possible in order to concentrate on the more creative aspects of game development.
