SoccerSkillz is now open source. :)

As I work on the next project(which is actually going well) I keep facing a lot of problems with mobile game development. Some related to AndEngine and some because I am new to game dev in general. One of the major problem for me was that I could not find many open source finished android games. Agreed, there are many example code, specially with Andengine and various tutorials. But these are isolated piece of codes. I struggled and am still struggling with how to structure my game overall. How to use scenes, entities. What game design principles to apply, how to integrate menu and UI.

There are a couple of tutorials which help a lot. Specialy http://www.matim-dev.com/full-game-tutorial---part-1.html. But still there are not enough open source games. I wonder whats the reason for it.

Anyways, enough blabbering. I have put the source code for soccerskillz on github here:

https://github.com/ninja-td/soccerskillz.

Its not a very complicated game(neither was it meant to be). But it does have some key features:

1. Open source published android game using Andengine.
2. Uses Physics and Collisions.
3. Uses a splash screen and transitions.
4. Uses ClipEntity which I had to code since the version of Andengine I was using did not have it.

I dont know how well commented the code is. But I will be happy to explain if people are interested.

Also feel free to develop, mod the game. But if you make a commercial game some how :) do give me credit.

The Next Step

So after the first published android game I am ready to start on the next project. I already had a lot of ideas I had written down at various points of time. They are in varied complexity and varied genres. But the important think was to pick up something which I will remain interested long enough to see it through.

Keeping these things in perspective and the ongoing soccer world cup I decided to go with the simple swipe soccer game I had in mind. This is inspired by some very old PC soccer game I used to play back in college. I don't recall the name but I can recall the gameplay in my mind quite vividly. It was top down and really simple to control but at the same time immensely fun.

To make this fun and playable for the mobile I have some changes to controls that needs to be done. I know this is going to be a longer project and probably the first actual game. I will try and keep posting the development logs so that I can track my progress and stay focused and finish this sooner.
