Android is one of the most popular mobile operating systems presently. It uses the most popular programming language, Java, as the primary language for building apps of all types. However, this book is unlike other Android books in that it doesn't assume that you already have Java proficiency.
This new and expanded second edition of Learning Java by Building Android Games shows you how to start building Android games from scratch. The difficulty level will grow steadily as you explore key Java topics, such as variables, loops, methods, object-oriented programming, and design patterns, including code and examples that are written for Java 9 and Android P.
At each stage, you will put what you've learned into practice by developing a game. You will build games such as Minesweeper, Retro Pong, Bullet Hell, and Classic Snake and Scrolling Shooter games. In the later chapters, you will create a time-trial, open-world platform game.
By the end of the book, you will not only have grasped Java and Android but will also have developed six cool games for the Android platform.
Learning Java by Building Android Games is for you if you are completely new to Java, Android, or game programming, and you want to make Android games. This book also acts as a refresher for those who already have experience of using Java on Android or any other platform without game development experience.
, Java, Android, and Game Development , In this first chapter we will get straight into Java, Android and game development. Also, we will look at some images and an outline of each of the six games we will develop throughout the book. Further, we will explore and discover what is so great about Android, what exactly Android and Java are, how they work and complement each other. Moving quickly on we will set up the required software and then build and deploy the outline for the first game.
, Java: First Contact , In this chapter, we will make significant progress with the Sub' Hunter game even though this is the first lesson on Java. We will look in detail at exactly how Sub' Hunter will be played and the steps/flow that our completed code will need to take to implement it. We will also learn about Java code comments for documenting the code, take a brief initial glimpse at methods to structure our code and an even briefer first glimpse at object-oriented programming that will begin to reveal the power of Java and the Android API.
, Variables, Operators, and Expressions , We are going to make good progress in this chapter. We will learn about Java variables that allows us to give our game the data it needs. Things like the sub's location and whether it has been hit, will soon be possible to code. Furthermore, the use of operators and expressions
