You can check out AndEngine as well, it is a free 2d opengl engine. It has a multiplayer extension based on java sockets but this part is incomplete, you should look out for more info on java.net.* for multiplayer purposes.

Another free opengl engine is Rokon.

Both use opengl es 1.0 and are compatible from android 1.6 onwards. I´m actually starting a 2d project based on AndEngine and have no complaints so far.

Since its not that intensive i woudn´t sugest to go for c++. I heard that not all devices are compatible with the ndk, but it is just hearsay, if some one can confirm this better.

@jug6ernaut

Thanks for your comment. Clarify me a lot.

About the server, do you have any suggestion where should I place/rent a server?

I'm living in south-east asia. I'm worry about lag issue will accur to US and Europe user when they communicate with server in this region. Our infrastructure is 10-20 years behind yours.

@rastanthology

Thanks for your comment. As you suggest, I think we will stick to Java as we planned. Plus, I'll take a look on AndEngine and Rokon.
[Android Software Development] MacDegger:
1.- You don't need a webbased server for gameplay. You can just pair the devices over bluetooth or send the data over wifi (hell, if you wanted to make it really expensive and laggy, you could send the data over sms :P). I think, connectivity wise this would be the way to go, not only because people some have data limitations in their phoneplan.

However, sending the gameplay data to a central server and distributing it back to the other player would make data collection and tracking easy, but that would be equally easy (and less data intensive for your data costs on your server) with a robust log you send to your server as you grow the game. Of course, even your peer-to-peer game will have a kind of client/server infrastructure, internally/programmaticaly speaking: maybe both devices run a client and a server, as you'll need classes/threads which send data, receive data and process data. Depending on the speed of the game and send/recieve speeds, you might want to have one of the devices be the one which has absolute say over timings/positions, or you might allow both devices to keep track and have some kind of collaborative conflict resolution :)

2.- pick the programming language you're best in. If you have to pick up c/c++ whilst you make the game, you're only doubling your frustration :) Make that be a factor in your choice of framework/engine, too. For a 'simple' game, you might just use pure java and libraries. For the game you're describing, you don't need the speed of c/c++. Nowhere near :)

3.- that's not a question :) 2D boardgames have a better chance of scaling well than even a 2d fast moving action game; I'd say that if you don't make it too complex (hundreds of transparent .png's simultaneously moving), most android devices should be able to run a 2 player boardgame without AI. Be sure to use suitable (correctly scaled etc) graphics, maybe even have multiple data sets for diff. devices.

4.- depends :) Sometimes, learning to use a game engine takes as much time as building those few things you need from scratch or using smaller routines/code/libraries. Design your program, find out what you need and then stack up "how much time will it take to build these classes/systems ourselves, to our exact specs" against "how much time will it take to find an engine which does kinda what we want, learn how to use the systems we want and modify them for what we want (and maybe not end up with exactly what we want)". Sometimes the (learning of the) engine is simple to learn and use, and saves you much time ... sometimes it doesn't :)

5.- yes. Depends on traffic (amount of connections, size of data). If you only sends logs etc and not realtime (gameplay) communications, you might have enough with one server. If you have many, many users, you might need more, and if the data has to have low latency, you will have to get more geographically situated servers.

6.- don't forget sound. Test your game on people. Prototype first, fast and often and don't be afraid to change the gameplay if what you prototype doesn't seem to be found "fun" by the people test your game :)

Good luck!
[Android Software Development] XeCeL:
@MacDegger

Thanks so much. You just gave me a lot of Idea. I mean I can see the whole picture more clearly with your answer. Cheers!!

One more thing I want to know. If this game can be play only via BT or WIFI. Will people buy it?

As we plan to sell it in the market in the future. Even the gameplay is fun, nice or whatever. But, the game cant be play unless you have a friend with Android device and this game installed. That's sound not so interesting game anyways (at least for me).
[Android Software Development] rastanthology:
I woudn't like to be pessimist but i don't think so. The best approach would be to release a free version with webview adds and a payed version add-less. From what i heard you might be receiving the same profit from both versions
[Android Software Development] XeCeL:
I'm thinking about that too.

Free version with adds and less feature.

Paid version without adds and full feature.

Still don't have a clue how google adds works. Pay for each view or something I guess.

Appologies if asked before but I did do a search and unfortunately not found the answer I was looking for.

I have a HTC G2 on T-Mobile that has been officially upgraded to 2.1 update 1.

Ever since doing this I have had issues with my Audi Car kit :(

Previoulsy all was working fine.

Having upgraded, I've noticed the following;

My car kit downloads all the numbers so that you can use the steering wheel to access and dial numbers. However all these numbers have been downloaded with a number of '-' in them and as a result I'm unable to dial any numbers via the car kit. Having checked my contacts onthe phone, no such '-' exist. Has the upgrade changed the character set or something??

Anyone experienced this or got any fixes? Would really appreciate the help. Many thanks.

Hi,

because of all this 'nordic' upgrade i've started to wonder - are they differences between those android versions?

I had Germany 1.6 version, now i have nordic but to be honest - i cant see any difference between them.

Do you know any?
[XPERIA X10 General] Gorbachov:
There are no major diff. Probably only operator specific settings will be aplied on some "versions".

I believe update was not rolled out for all devices because you can imagine the massive load that has to carry out the servers of SE and the network.

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Well, generic firmware is going to be the most basic type.

Differences come into play when you talk about Carrier specific-changes. For example, Docomo's X10 has a special APN setting and new OS hooks for push i-mode mail, which won't work on any other firmware.
[XPERIA X10 General] p.domain:
Yes, i think so but are you sure (about this diffs)?

About the servers - i dont think that SE upload FW on their own servers - they probably are using technogy like akamai or similar.

Im porting a MIUI FRG83 rom to HD2.

I followed those steps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8867035&postcount=546

I used files from HD2froyov3 and hastarin r8.

Its working but I have performance issue: in home/menu it stutters a bit when scrolling. So I downloaded fps2d, and saw the poor performance: avg fps: 10.

I tried with another miui build for hd2, made with the same miui base and kernel, and there is no stutter and with fps2d the avg fps is ~50.

(also tried logcat on the build saw no error)

I wonder if anyone can help me figure out what is making the performance being poor ?
