User Interface Guidelines. A Quick Primer. [This post is by Chris Pruett, an outward-facing Androider who focuses on the world of games. — Tim Bray] If you attended Google I/O this year, you might have noticed the large number of game developers showing off their stuff in the Android part of the Developer Sandbox.
Unity, EA, Com2Us, Polarbit, Laminar Research, and several others demonstrated high-end games running on Android devices. Getting Started in Android Game Development. If you're interested in developing a game for the Android platform, there is a lot you need to know.
I'm the developer of Light Racer, Light Racer 3D, Antigen, Deadly Chambers and Wixel, which are currently available on the Android Market. I've also been involved with the development of about 5 other games for Android and iOS and am co-author of Beginning Android Games 2nd Edition. I've developed games before but the original Light Racer was my first Android application and I learned quite a bit about writing Android games that I'd like to share with everyone.
