Tic-Tac-Toe tutorial for Android indie developers
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make programs and “Apps” for the Android Operating System?
Perhaps you have a great idea for a game for Android Smart Phones. Maybe you know a potential business partner who needs a mobile application solution to a specific problem.
In either case, knowing how to make mobile Apps for the many versatile Android phones, tablets and other technology devices is just good business in today’s digital environment.
After searching through several YouTube pages, I found that there are many difficult Android tutorials out there. Most of them require advanced debugging skills and cover complex touch interaction that is daunting to say the least.
But I felt lucky to find the Tic-Tac-Toe tutorial series by Indiedevelopment.co and it was easy to follow along. Even though though there were a few spots where I had to deal with deprecated code, it was still a smooth tutorial series. It had very few, “Road Block” moments where one just hits his or her head against the wall with critical errors.
Below is a YouTube video that I made that shows the finished project in action on a 7 inch tablet. I’m running Android 4.1.1 and the games runs very smooth and the built-in-sounds and menus work great.
