Welcome

V0.1

This project is intended to be a beginners guide to Android games development. This project is set out as a series of tutorials focusing on how to create a tile based pathfinding simulation app. The aim is to introduce some concepts in game design such as the game loop and some AI. This is all in context to Android as well. The project can serve as a foundation for many tile based games and I strongly encourage you to expand and go beyond what is covered in these tutorials.

The Series

1. Project Overview and Initial Setup
2. Game Loop and The Drawing Panel
3. Creating Models and the Tiled Map
4. Moving Objects
5. A Star Search Algorithm

At the end of the project we should have something similar to this, where the red circles are agents that can find a path to the green target. This can be customised according to the specific needs of your game, for example the red circle could be replaced with Bitmaps.

Have fun! :)
