Android Development
So, i have been meaning to post about android development since i started playing around two weeks ago and only just got around to it. The idea was to create a development diary and although it is a little late - better than never!
I have decided to bet some money and resources on Android becoming popular throughout 2010 and beyond by creating some games for the platform. I have zero experience in Java or mobile phone games but I have created several flash games in the past and understand many of the principles involved.
The first game I am creating is as yet untitled and has been a testbed for learning Java and Android. It is a puzzle game in the style of PopCap (dependent on how much I decide to spend on an artist!), the screen has a grid of cute creatures of varying sizes, you use your finger to swype the fuzzy buggers in different directions causing them to eat creatures smaller than themselves until they grow too big and pop! There are elements of Bejewelled and Pacman - so hopefully it will be as addictive as those two combined … right?!
