Overview

Hi, do you want to learn how to build Android Games in Java?

My name is Sandip. I have published more than ten android games on Google Play. So, I happen to know a little bit about android game development and in this class, I’ll show you exactly how to create this awesome Flappy Bird game using Android Studio and Java.

This class is perfectly suitable for anyone who wants to learn the game development fundamentals like creating an efficient Game Loop, handling the Touch Event, Collision Detection, Playing Sound Effects, Score, saving Personal Best, designing XML Layout, creating Different Levels for your game with increasing difficulty, etc. If you want to learn the basic framework for games then this is the right class for you.

And, if you want to learn android game development by writing code in Java then you’ll enjoy this class. While my previous class focused on using Android’s View class, this class is aimed to provide a solid foundation for a more dedicated Android class for game development: SurfaceView.

I believe the best way to learn mobile game development is by making one. So, I will walk you through the process of creating this game, from start to finish, step by step in a completely hands-on fashion.

At the end of the class, you’ll be able to build a complete Flappy Bird game using Java which you can be used as a framework or template for any game you build or publish in Play Store. You'll have a clear understanding of the core concepts behind a 2D game. You’ll have an improved Java skill. You

You probably know that android is the largest eco-system for gaming so if you’re serious about your career in the gaming industry, this is a great place to start. Or, if you just want to learn programming then Java is an excellent language which is also the preferred/default language for Android and building games is great fun. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of students in making their Android games and there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t as well. So, Enroll now and let’s get started.
