Books I've chosen, next steps

Ok, so I've picked out a few Android books to read:
  • Android Programming Tutorials by Mark L. Murphy (meant for Android 3.0!)
  • Professional Android 2 Development by Reto Meier
I was considering having this blog talk about each chapter as I read them and test them out, but that would probably be a horribly boring blog and nobody would want to read it.  So instead, I'm going to talk more about game design decisions I'm making for my unnamed bomberman-style game.

Can't wait to get started.

  19. Bomberman is super fun and addictive. At least you know what the game should be like. Are you going to release this game in the market at some point?

  20. I was thinking about it. Right now I'm thinking about programming it so that it connects to a central server which does most of the processing and find a way to allow people to play together across multiple platforms - transfer everything through text so that iPhone, Android and whatever other platforms that can be used to play games can all play together. Just an idea though.
