The first playable version of ಚೌಕಾ ಬಾರ , for android is out. It took more than 6 week ends to put everything together.Initially, I tried to keep the Android specific code separate from the generic ones, during the initial days, because of obvious issues during the course of implementation the code has lot of deviations from the original design.
The graphics for the game isn’t done, as the main aim of this exercise was to come up with a game engine from which other game can be written on with minimum effort.The next game on cards is AlaguLi Mane.
The engine is inspired from the various sample programs that are provided with the SDK. I must say that code given in the samples, does not look very easy to understand to start with, I hate lot of those inner classes.
I will put in the game engine design concepts further. Meanwhile, if you have any brilliant ideas that can make lives of users more entertaining, drop in a line.
Parting thoughts, I would love to use the Open-GL support provided with Android.
