Game programming Development process[edit] Prototyping[edit] Programmers are often required to produce prototypes of gameplay ideas and features. A great deal of prototyping may take place during pre-production, before the design document is complete, and may help determine what features the design specifies. Prototypes are developed quickly with very little time for up-front design and mostly act as a proof of concept or to test ideas. Game design[edit] Though the programmer's main job is not to develop the game design, the programmers often contribute to the design, as do game artists. Programmers often closely follow the game design document. Production[edit] During production, programmers churn out a great deal of source code to create the game described in the game's design document. While many programmers have some say in a game's content, most game producers solicit input from the lead programmer as to the status of a game programming development. Testing[edit] Nearing completion[edit] Maintenance[edit]

Since there’s clearly a huge amount of interest in Android game development, here’s an overview of how Android games work and what you as a developer should know. Step One: Decide on a Target Device Class Second generation devices generally have WVGA screens, much faster CPUs and GPUs, and support for OpenGL ES 2.0. Step Two: Pick a Language Step Three: Carefully Design the Best Game Ever
