Best Beginner Android Games 2024 - Fun & Easy Mobile Games for New Players | Play at Home, Work or On the Go

I just finished reading and coding from all 678 pages of Mario Zechner's and Robert Green's book Beginning Android Games 2nd edition and I wanted to give others insight into my findings about the book.http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Android-Games-Mario-Zechner/dp/1430246774/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360183484&sr=1-1&keywords=beginning+android+games+2nd+editionFirst off I would like to say that I am completely satisfied with the purchase of this book.I was attempting to write my first games based off random blogs and articles online and I was totally missing many important concepts and wasting time.Also, please note this is not a LibGDX book. I actually bought it thinking that it was but I learned way more than I ever knew in creating a custom framework.Usable for Beginners [9/10]Yes if you have never made a game before this book walks you through every step of the way. If you have never or have very limited experience on programming then I do not think this book is for you since games are a rather more advanced form of programming.Readability [10/10]This book is written in a light helpful tone that really holds your hand the whole time. It made the experience fun and sometimes funny.Grammer and spelling mistake proof[8/10]There are a few mistakes in this book, sometimes even the code is incorrect. Using the mode [...] uses with a book bug bounty might pay off and keep amazon from getting a % of your profits.Correctness of Concepts[10/10]I am not a professional developer however I do my research and I have found no faults with this book. And the best part is with every simplification of a concept the book informs and encourages you that there is much more to this concept and you can look it up with suggested readings.Exampled and provided resources [10/10]Every example, image, sound, etc. is provided free of charge in one quick usable location.Closing Comments: After reading this book can you go out and create a top selling android app? probably not. However, this book does open your eyes to the world of creating apps. After reading the whole book I feel motivated and inspired that I can create a successfull app but at the same time I understand that this is no small venture and it will take lots of time, sweat, and bloodshot eyes. Before I was sailing blind and this book did exactly what I expected it to do, it gave me a bearing. All in all I am happy and I would buy any other game programming books released by these authors. In particular I would like to see a very short and concise LibGDX book which assumes you have read this book first.Personal Comment: I dont believe I am alone in this but most of us programmers became programmers because of a good game got us hooked. I like many others write business software everyday and while I am happy, creating games fills me with hope. So I would like to thank, Mario and Robert for teaching me and Google for the low barrier opportunity to get started in the world of games.
