Simon!
June 14th, 2010
I have released my first Android game on to the Market. It is basically a copy of the classic electronic memory game Simon, a game in which you repeat the gradually lengthening computer generated sequence for as many rounds as you can. The game has multiple difficulty settings, musical notes and a colourful design.
The release of this game is more of an experiment to investigate how the Android Market works and game development on the platform works. Therefore the game itself is fairly unoriginal and took a short amount of time to produce but the graphics and game mechanics are of a high standard. The process has taught me some useful things about Android, for example how to use custom fonts and ‘Handlers’ to update the UI from a Thread other than the UI Thread. Both of which I shall write articles about.
Now on to my next Android project using all that I have learnt from this one.
