Getting Started In Android Game Development
rbgrn writes "If you're interested in developing a game for the Android platform, there is a lot you need to know. If you have previous experience with game development, moving over to the Android platform won't be all that difficult. You will mostly just need to learn the architecture and API. If you're new to game development, here is a list of must-knows for getting started in Android game development. This is a good starting point for developers seeking to write any type of mobile game."
If Linux hasn't developed into a viable gaming platform, what hope does Android have? The iPod is already a bigger gaming target platform than all Linux distro's combined.
Android will not succeed as a gaming platform, and therefore won't succeed at all.
And no, this isn't about the GNAA supporting the Prop-8 marches in front of the Mormon Temples in Los Angeles. You see, this day in age, people don't have an actual product in implemented proto-type. They sit down and think of the future interest and the failure, then decide to sell that future to whomever is silly enough to go down that path until their death. Consider the Amish perspective; they're the ancestors to the marketer-class. They knew that marketing was a gimick, so they created the greatest ploy and plot to take over as much land as possible and stay under a cloak of simplistic living to avoid the Brittish Crown collecting Income Tax on their former colonists. Just 20 minutes ago I saw an advertisement on Television about a company using Amish labor to produce a 1-foot deep by 1-foot tall by 2-foot wide portable fireplace unit and that is completely contrary to their scripture. There is a patern in the economy that looks upon the possibility of standards and distinguished societal structures and political subdivisions to disregard their charter and just jump into the myre and slop that their forefathers and grantors waved from them. Consider all the other business models that will fail, but the greatest one was of the market-droid who was sold down river by the Amish. The most successful models are the most taxed, simple because it's Governments cut of the drug that people are willing to pay such high initerest on such little yield. Booze, tobacco, prostitution, and porn are all forewarned and despised in the Holy Bible that there evinces a diametric plot of society to create a worker class inspired by progress and efficiency to work maintenance and grunt-work to carry the ancestral denizens of simple living Amish caste through the present. The same story is seen in the tribes of Israel conspiring against Benjamin to sell him down the well as a slave to Egypt, yet he saves them all by his wit to progress where they could only speculate as dreamers.
As for me, seeing how all the Beer Taverns, Smoke Shops, Video Arcades, and Porn Stores are slowly merging into their customary futures as laundromat general-stores to compete against Walmart I am looking at a dream that none dare venture towards; a dream so cunning that it'll work by the willingness of the sweat and blood of the new form of brainless slave that pays for the privilege to power by enterprise: the physical fitness dweeb. My design is inexpensive in a 3-tear product placement that not even Walmart would dare such: A library with exercise equipment and internet kiosks to fill with paying-pettlers to generate power to run a next-door laundromat, where the people pay again to wash their clothes and generate heat that runs the bakery of the nextdoor bar and grill, where paying-patrons pay to receive cooked vegetarian food raised from the rooftops and drink an endless mine-shaft of beer brewed underneath, and the next-door vintage video arcade houses all the ripped ROM and custom mimic cabinetry to house the biggest marijuana-growing franchise in the verry housing which the embedded Linux computers don't occupy. It all starts with sheep of Billy Blanks, Chuck Norris, Jazzersize, LA Fitness, and 24 Hour Fitness, to harness their power, so people like me
Can Prepare the World For...THIS
My pinball gallery is almost complete!
I think all the attempted iPhone clones suck. Android included. Android is just another one. Based on Linux instead of BSD like the iPhone.
