I'm planning to buy an Android phone. It has a small internal memory, so I'm trying to find out how many games I can install. I need to know the usual size of an Android game (the game not the installer). Also, how large are HD games like the ones from Gameloft?


Answer
3D "HD" games are often 50MB installers, but take up up to 70MB once fully installed. Not many games take this much, Angry Birds Space is 28MB, Facebook is 12MB, but out of 125 apps on my phone, 100 of them are under 10MB. You can also find substitutes for some apps, like FBM is a Facebook replacement that uses the mobile web version, and it is a 600KB download.

What can I use to MAKE Android games?

I would like to know how to MAKE Android games. Every time I ask, I get answers to game downloads and app makers that can't make games. I just want to know what I can use to make my own games. Thank you.


Answer
first off, the ? poster is totally wrong. Android uses java, not C++.

Second, look into the videos at ThNewBoston. They have 200 android video tutorials from setting up the program to write app and finishes with publishing the app. Not every video deals with games, but it'd be best to watch them all to learn.

Is there any possible way that I could get this game on my phone?

What are standard x-y dimensions for developing Android games?

I want to make a game applet for the web that I will later try to turn into a game for Android phones. I remember reading once that there are specific width and height values (in pixels) you should use when making Android games but I can't remember what they were. Do you know?


Answer
The problem with handheld devices is that they come in different screen resolutions. What you need to avoid is to set absolute coordinates for objects and vertexes so that they will be rendered at different positions in different devices (and also may have different pixel densities).

But all this stuff can be easily done through the framework that OpenGL ES provides. If you are planning to do Android graphics you need to check on this.
