Install Android SDK Components
http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html
 Android is packaged in such a way that the base Android SDK is
distinct and separate from each API versions of the Android
SDK. To develop an Android app, you also need to download
at least one Android platform and the latest SDK Platform-tools.
 Launch the SDK Manager by double-click the SDK
Manager.exe file at the root of the Android SDK directory.
 The SDK Manager shows all the SDK packages available for you
to add to your Android SDK. As a minimum configuration for
your SDK, we recommend you install the following:
 The latest Tools packages (check the Tools folder).
 The latest version of Android (check the first Android folder).
 The Android Support Library (open the Extras folder and
check Android Support Library).
Once you've chosen your packages, click Install. The Android SDK
Manager installs the selected packages into your Android SDK
environment.

- Intro to AndEngine 
Free open source OpenGL ES 2 android game engine
 OpenGL ES 2 - Open graphic library embedded
system version 2

Advantages:
 Free and open source.
 Most important aspects of every game are covered
already by engine.
 You don't really need OpenGL experience (but
might be useful, obviously)
 Fast and, well designed and organized engine.
 Relatively big, active and helpful community.
 Great engine extensions.
 Plenty of examples, showing off engine capabilities.

- Intro to AndEngine  Drawbacks:



There is mostly no code documentation.
Sometimes slower comparing to other engines.
Lack of documentation – difficult to start with
 Has
great examples: great way to check
and understand how it works
 Developer community – you might always
expect help from different developers

- AndEngine Core Features 
Engine:


Controls the whole game; synchronize and update
the Scenes
IResolutionPolicy:

It tells the engine about how to deal with the
different resolutions of different devices.
 RatioResolutionPolicy - keep everything scaled in
in proper ratio (disadvantage - black lines might
occur)
 FillResolutionPolicy - fill whole resolution
(disadvantage - images might be stretched)

- AndEngine Core Features 
Camera:


Scene:



A Camera defines the rectangle of the scene that is drawn on
the screen, as not the whole scene is visible all the time. Usually
there is one Camera per Scene. There are subclasses with more
functions, example:
 BoundCamera - you might specify bounds for your scene.
 ZoomCamera - you might enable zooming, pinch zoom, and
scrolling camera.
The root container for all objects to be drawn on the screen.
Has a specific amount of Layers, which themselves can contain
a (fixed or dynamic) amount of Entities.
Entity:

An Entity is an object that can be drawn, like Sprites,
Rectangles, Text or Lines; has a position/scale/color/etc.
 Sprite - entity with texture
Tower of Hanoi

CST594 – Mobile Computing
Android Presentation
- AndEngine Core Features 
Texture:



A Texture is an 'image' in the memory of the graphics
pool.
On Android, the width and height of a Texture has to be
a power of 2 (in latest GLES2 this rule is not required, so its
really useful to reduce memory usage) Therefore
AndEngine assembles a Texture from a couple of
ITextureSources, so the space can be used better.
TextureRegion:

Defines a rectangle on the Texture, used by Sprites to let
the system know what part of the big Texture the Sprite is
showing.

Now that you know a bit more about AndEngine, it’s time
to download the source code and set up the environment.
 Note: Since AndEngine is hosted on GitHub, you could
always clone the git repository for AndEngine to get the
source code for the project. However, this requires that
you have git installed on your machine and that you are
able to work on the command line.

Open up your browser and go to the AndEngine github
page. You should see a link on the page to download the
repository as a ZIP file. Use that to download a copy of the
AndEngine project. Or, you should be able to use this link to
download the file directly.

Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a convenient location on
your hard drive.

Now that you’ve got the source code for the game
engine, if you want, you can also download the code
for additional AndEngine extensions. In this tutorial,
you will not be using any of the extensions but you will
need all of them in place if you wanted to try out the
AndEngine sample project, which is also available on
GitHub.

The sample project is a great way to learn the
different ways to use AndEngine and you can always
get the latest sample project and the extensions by
downloading each of them from GitHub, setting up
the projects, and building the sample

Before you start coding, there are a few things you should know about
AndEngine:
 OpenGL ES 2.0: The currently developed version of AndEngine is the
GLES 2.0 version. This version requires OpenGL ES 2.0 support in
order to function. So you need to make sure that your device (or
emulator) supports OpenGL ES 2.0. If you are using the emulator to
test, then you need graphics acceleration support and this is there
only in the latest SDK Tools version. As of this tutorial, the latest SDK
Tools version available is revision 19. Make sure that you have at
least this version installed. To upgrade, please follow the instructions
given here.
 Android 4.0.3: You also need Android SDK Platform API 15, Revision
3 or higher in order to test OpenGL ES 2.0 based code on the
emulator. So make sure that you’ve upgraded to at least Android
4.0.3, which is API 15. You emulator used for testing AndEngine
code should be using Android 4.0.3.
 Emulator: If you are using the emulator to test AndEngine code, you
need a virtual device which has GPU emulation enabled and is
running at least Android 4.0.3. So check your virtual device
configuration and edit it if your device is not set up appropriately.

With that done, it’s time to start Eclipse, the IDE usually used for
Android development. So go ahead an start Eclipse.
The version of AndEngine that you downloaded from GitHub
already contains an Eclipse project file. You can simply import
that by going to File->Import …
Select “Existing Projects into Workspace” from the dialog and
click “Next”. A new dialog should open where you must
specify the location of the AndEngine project.
Click the “Browse” button and browse to the folder where you
extracted the AndEngine source ZIP file. The existing project
should be detected and show up automatically in the dialog.
Click “Finish”. And you should have the project imported into
your Eclipse workspace – it’s that simple :]
If by some chance the extracted source is missing the Eclipse
project information, you can create a new project by going to
File->New->Project. A window like the one shown in the image
below will open. Select Android Project and click Next.

Give the project a name: I suggest sticking with
“AndEngine.” or “AndEngine Library”.

Select the “Create project from existing source”
option. Next click the browse button, go to the
location of the AndEngine source code and select
Open. Once you’ve found the right location, press
Finish. This will create a new project called AndEngine
(or AndEngine Library) that you can view in the project
navigator.

Your AndEngine library project is now ready. This way,
you can add your AndEngine (library) project as a
library to your tutorial project and the AndEngine
library will be compiled in as part of your project.
