Let's design a game!

In a way, I'm kind of lucky that I'm not sure how to program with Android yet.  Because of that, I can design my game while reading a couple of books on Android programming, and I won't have my program tainted by my desire to just jump in and get coding.  Hopefully this will result in a better game.

Ok, so first thing's first - on the agenda for the rest of today I'm going to get some books and set up Eclipse with the Android 3 SDK.  My main computer is down right now, so I'm going to take some notes while doing the install just in case.  Hopefully I'll just be able to use a guide somewhere on the internet to help me out.

I've done an install before, but that was a year and a half ago, and I can see from the Android development site that a lot has changed.  Oh well, here goes nothing!

    Keep us updated on this. What kind of game are you thinking of making? You should make a post of the general idea.

    Think of ideas that are completely basic in design, but can be really challenging. Design it to be recognized, or just have fun with what you want. Good luck.

    I'm really glad you're taking on a project of this magnitude. Personal growth is the biggest reward out there. Can't wait to see the outcome!

    A lot HAS changed, android 3.0 supports the creation of games much more than 2.2. I'm doing a masters now after graduating from a computer graphics, vision and games degree. Let me know if you need even a little bit of help. :)

    I'm interested in learning also. It'd be cool to hear what you think the best way to learn is. Thanks.

    Learning from scratch - seems like a good way to go about things imo!
