Introduction
Books
Computer books
Android Game Development Practice Guide (huazhan programmer Library) is a classic android game development tutorial, written by senior software development experts, and recommended by the andengine engine creator.
The android game development practice guide (Chapter Hua programmer Library) is based on the Open Source engine andengine, not only are the key technologies required for Android game development in the form of special topics, such as scenes, layers, drawing, Genie, animation, physical effects, particle system, collision detection, and level design, artist, voice ......) In a series, android game developers systematically explain the theoretical knowledge they should learn, and use a complete case to integrate the various elements of game development throughout the book, a panoramic presentation of android game development methods and processes is provided, which is highly operable.
The book consists of 17 chapters: Chapter 1 describes the overview and types of mobile games; chapter 2 ~ Chapter 4 describes a topic related to game development, including the game elements and game development tools, the concept of game logic loop, and the method for starting game development with andengine, scene, layer, scene switching and object modifier, how to draw Genie and animation genie, text and user input, tile map, particle system, sound, physical effect, AI, scoring and collision and multimedia extension packages; chapter 16th describes how to make the game more interesting by improving existing functions; Chapter 17th describes the testing and release of the game. Each chapter has exercise questions at the end, which can help readers learn and practice while quickly improving their skills. At last, the book provides answers to exercises.
