I do not know anything about game development.
I am trying to develop and android game but my problem is the graphic/display part.
I have the code for running the game already but my UI is just awful. Im just using textviews and buttons
I need a dice (3D if possible). but 2D is also ok..
Where should I begin???
Can anyone give me a really really simple code for making 2D games?
or any link out there that is very simple to follow?
Thanks
take a look at the lunar lander example or snake demo on google's developer website
For 2d take a look at andengine and its examples, it is an opensource 2d open gl es framework, its very usefull, coder friendly and it will work 10 times smoother than canvas on java...
im wanting to create a simple 2d game to get use to making games, i want similar gfx as angry birds 2d, using open gl es? i think thats right
are there any good tutorials to help out
iv never done this kind of thing before
i want to make one of them worm/ helicopter cave games

If you're completely new to it, perhaps start on Canvas drawing instead of OpenGL. Check out the example project in the Android SDK called Lunar Lander.
Some awesome person in my life gave me a card today. I'm thinking tools and music. Diablo67 got me turned on to Android Tuner which is included in his Bleu Mynt ROM, but what about ROM Toolbox Manager Pro and The All-in-one-Toolbox 21 tools? I like them as well. Which one is the best for our Evo?
I'm open to suggestions outside of tools and music. If this was your card, what would you buy?

I've bought multiple cards in the past, with them I've bought (to name just a couple):
-Accuweater Platinum
-RoboDefense
-NFS Most Wanted (I only use this on my Nexus 7)
-Rom Toolbox Pro
-Both Premium XDA apps
I freaking love ROM Toolbox Pro. I cannot say enough about it.
As far as everything else, it depends on what you like. For example, there are some great $3.99 albums on Google Play right now, also, lots of funny TV shows depending on your tastes.
I bought some RHCP, some Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Zedd, T.I., some classical and other stuff. (I like a plethora of different music.)
Sound City Movie is a great movie, you can rent it for relatively cheap too I think.

Android Tuner is on sale right now. I personally use Rom Toolbox Pro. Play with the free version's of both and see which interface you like better. I think in the end, Android Tuner will probably have more functions, so I would be tempted to go with that one, but like I said, try the free versions first.
All in one toolbox, I believe the pro version just removes ad's, but not sure. It doesn't really have nearly the same functionality as the other two.

Yeah, I bought it today. I've been using the beta version for awhile now. I like it, but it wouldn't update, so I bought the paid version. I then uninstalled all apps that the Android Tuner covers to storage space and RAM. I'm running the MIUI ROM version 2 right now, and it made a big difference cutting those apps out. I think Android Tuner is the best system tool. What else do you like that would compliment the Android Tuner. I'm thinking CWM Premium since Android Tuner makes CWM backups. I'm kinda curious about the paid version of Titanium Backup. Do you have any insight to share with me on either of those?

I love all of the Jrummy apps. Dude is a busy mofo,or his team is anyways. All of it is quality stuff. I like the ROM Toolbox, but I went with Android Tuner.

Only think I used TI for was backing up apps with data, but can do that with android tuner/rom manager. So seemed redundant. And since I don't use clockworkmod recovery, ROM manager is just a file/download manager for rom's, which again, is pretty pointless to me.
Hello to everyone, i'm new of this forum ,
I wanted to ask you for a game engine and when it becomes necessary.
I was wondering if the games that have a simple logic and a 2D graphics is developed with a framwork types similar unity, etc..
For example, Pou (you can find that on the play store of google), you think it was done completely by hand or has been used a Game Engine?
Also, you know one GE that is completely free for android / ios / wp where i can, according to the license of that, market my product?
Thanks
AndEngine is great but it's not necessary to use an engine: http://www.raywenderlich.com/12065
I suppose if you're project is a little bit bigger than TicTacToe or similar and you want to use scaling, rotation and so on you shouldd really use an engine!!
I don't like AndEngine, I use LibGDX and this one is really great!!
Regards
If you are interested in native Android game development, you may take a look at this:

I wrote a little game for android and as I had a lot of problems with the gradle build system, the OpenGl and jni stuff I decided to share my work and experiences with you.
This little 2D game engine is designed to be very easy to use. You do not have to deal with any OpenGl or android specific stuff.
It supports all the basic functions a game needs (displaying graphics, motion, sound, the google play games services...)
Of course your can also take a look at the build system set up and so on to use it for other projects. I managed to get Android Studio to interpret native code but still using the Android.mk and Application.mk file with all of it's possibilities.
Feel fee to use this project for any kind of non profit projects. It is absolutely free!
If you have questions or any other comments/suggestions, feel free to ask them.
I am very excited what you will build up on my work
nice.
why not upload it on github for better visibility ?
