DroidGaming - An easier way to make games.

I've made a little gaming library, which lets you setup your own game in a couple of secs. Instead of dealing with the Android code itself, you extend DroidGamingActivity, make a DroidGamingListener and register that listener to the DroidGamingThread and you're all set for some magic

.

Check my SnowServices the DroidGaming is available as a jar and in the svn is a DroidGamingExample activity. Try it out.

NOTE: It's pretty basic now, but I'm aiming to have it contain a SceneManager and that kind of stuff, but for now I'm only interested in 2D gaming

Have any examples for using the DroidGaming.jar?

Umh yes, DroidGamingExample in the SVN. I'm still updating DroidGaming and it should have built-in sprite support, layers (scrolling layers and such), automated drawing, ... Though that's not going to be released soon.

Sorry the only reason I ask is because the example I see contains references to DroidGamingThread while the jar I downloaded does not -- should I just download the DroidGaming source and compile my own jar? If so, my mistake.

Hmm, I believe DroidGamingView has a DroidGamingThread as inner class.

At this moment, the public version of DroidGaming is just a little more advanced version of my 2D Tutorial.

I download the source for both the library and the example and got the programming working fine.

When I just use the DroidGaming.jar and example source in a project, however, I get:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException : eu.MrSnowflake.android.droidgamingexample.DroidGamingExample

I wonder if you can't package a jar within a .apk file?

MrSnowflake, are you still around? I sent you a PM a few days ago.

Anyway, I'm using DroidGaming as a basis for my 2d game and noticed that key events don't register all of the time. For example

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
public boolean onFrameStart(DroidGamingThread parent, GameEvent event) {
 
if (event.keysDown[KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE]) {
 
            //Do something
 
        }
 
.
 
.
 
}
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

I find that sometimes, when I hit the space bar, "//Do something" never gets executed.

Thoughts?

Well, I made this 'framework' a couple of months ago and I wanted to make a 2D gaming framework out of this, but my focus changed to another project (which is still underway). Also I don not have good 2D games experience, so I left DroidGaming alone.

As for your question, I have no idea why the space doesn't register, as I haven't been in the code for months.

DroidGaming might have been compiled with v0.9 so it might not work in 1.0/1.1
