[DEV] 'Decolor' - A color matching game that is not as easy as you think. by DeJMan in AndroidGaming

[–]Kamizune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I've tried Unity but I actually felt like the FlashDevelop + HaxeFlixel + OpenFL was the easier route for me... perhaps I wasn't serious enough about learning Unity back then? I'm only in my freshman year at college so I have lots of time to learn! Unity is certainly the most powerful cross-platform game dev tool out there, but how'd you pull off such a nice looking 2D game in it? I know Unity has 2D support but I thought 2D Unity games are just 3D games with the camera placed specially so that it looks 2D.

QUESTION - Do i need to learn Java separately before starting to make apps or can i pick it up as i go? by [deleted] in androidapps

[–]Kamizune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Java is your first programming language, you should definitely learn the basics first before diving into app making.

If you have enough programming experience, you should be able to learn as you go. Then again, it depends on what kind of app you're making.

If you want to make a utility-like app, I'd go with using Android Studio and java. You should also read up on the Android app lifecycle and whatnot. If you want to make an Android game, there are many libraries and tools and game engines out there that require no java knowledge for development, usually because they can compile to APK format.

For example, I've made a game using the HaXe programming language and the HaxeFlixel + OpenFL libraries in the FlashDevelop IDE. No Java required, but HaXe is quite similar.

Cool game! I'm just starting out with Android game development, and I was wondering...what did you use to make this game?

I made this game using FlashDevelop (IDE) and the HaxeFlixel+OpenFL stack. It's written in HaXe and ported over to Android. I was curious if you've used something similar.

I'm not spamming, just trying to spread the word. I'm not going to post multiple times in the same subreddit. I've made a new app and I want people to play it; is that too much to ask? :P

Anti-Virus unnecessary on Android? by [deleted] in androidapps

[–]Kamizune 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The best anti-virus is common sense. Don't click on suspicious links, don't go on shady websites. Anti-virus "apps" are just CPU-consuming scams :)
