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 ?

So I have a tiny bit programming exp, a bit of C# and a bit of regular BASIC, however I'm interested in learning Visual Basic .NET for game design for PPC.
Any resources where to start, source code to look at, etc?
i'm kinda in the same situation,, thx 4 putting this thread up. * waiting impatiently for more comments!
there's more than enough samples tuts and everything layin around teh net ...
and the best starting point is always search engines ... google maybe?
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...
I was wondering if anyone (a developer) would be interested in porting OSU! the rhythm game for android. The ipad/iphone port is already made, but due to lack of developers, the Android version hit the stag.
For those of you who don't know, Osu! is basically like stepmania in that you could download beatmaps, but is based on Elite Beat Agents, a DS rhythm game that uses very intuitive touchscreen controls.
http://osu.ppy.sh/ this is the link to its homepage --_--

Hope I'm posting in the right section, and that this is not a repeat.
Did ANYONE take this up?
Hi,
I was wondering if I could create a whole android game with animations and everything with and ide such as android studio? Also can games such as candy crush saga it angry birds be made with ide's such as android studio and eclipse?
Of course, you can. Every app that can be made, can be developed using these IDEs.

Yes, for 2D games I use andengine libs and eclipse IDE to develop(you can use android studio) and for 3D games I use jmonkey Engine with the JMonkey IDE(netbeans) but you can use too with the eclipse or android studio.
Mobile application development
Did you use the Android Java environment or something else? game application development platform is Angle, Rokon, LGame, AndEngine, jPCT, Alien3d, Catcake, Libgdx and many more…..

Well you won't be able to create the graphics and animations nor sound and music in such IDE. These IDEs have typically a image preview window, but that's it. However you will be able to do everything with free tools like InkScape, GIMP and Audacity.
Of course games like Angry Birds can be made using these tools. Some developers prefer paid tools that sometimes offer more value (comfort) for money.

He could create the graphics using XML or SVG in the IDE, but that wouldn't make sense. :laugh:

Fair enough, you can actually create anything in IDE!
I remember creating assembler routine on my ZX Spectrum using POKE command.
Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoom2dGnHJw

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
