There are many ways to build mobile games, but for most projects you'll find everything you need in the core SDK. Practice Android programming while you learn to build a simple game app with the Android SDK and Java-no C++ or gaming engine required! This project showcases all of the SDK's strengths, including clean, fluid motion; complex game mechanics; and persistent scoring. David Gassner shows how to build the visuals, including the background, menus, and controls, and add animation with the built-in classes in Android. Then he helps you program the game logic. Learn how to define different levels, increment and display scores, manage game resources, and add audio effects-both longer music files with the MediaPlayer component and shorter sound effects with Android's SoundPool class. This project is a fun and rewarding way to learn Android programming, and can be used as a template for your own game apps.
