teroids™ ? Well, here’s an exciting opportunity to build and/or port these

games to one of the hottest mobile and netbook platforms today: Google’s

Android. Pro Android Games teaches you how to build cool games like Space

Blaster and the classic Asteroids™ from scratch on the latest Android plat-

form. This book also shows you how to port other classic freeware/shareware

games like Doom and Wolfenstein™ 3D from C using the Java Native Interface

(JNI) for Android.

This book is all about a unique perspective in Android game development:

a well-balanced, powerful combination of pure pure Java and hybrid game

development, mixing Java and C. I believe that in the world of gaming, per-

formance is critical, and that by combining the elegant object-oriented fea-

tures of Java and the raw power of C, there is no limit to the types of games

that you can build for the platform. With actionable real-world source code

in hand, this book dives you right into Games development on Android. In

this book you’ll learn how to:

at an amazing rate. Pro Android Games is the ultimate helper tool for your
