i would love to make a simple game like doodle jump i.e. the player jumps on platforms and moves up the screen and you tilt the phone left and right to move the player
so i was wondering is there any tutorials or books out there that explain how to make a game like this?
What I would personally do is make a game like that using keyboard controls for the computer. then after you do that, youll have the basic structure for making it for android.
as for tutorials for android, ive havent found anything that great, or that i would recommend :/
just remember that the tilt is just another form of input to your program, if you can make the game with buttons, changing it to tilt will not provide a great challenge once you know how to access the data from the accelerometer.
