Thanks a lot, your tutorials are really good
Thanks for the tutorials, personally I’ve found more information in here than in most books I’ve bought, hope everything works well for you.
Thanks again.
I see you were gonna be doing some more lessons around December time but none have arrived yet. I hope some do soon because I’m cracking through with these ones like a hot knife through butter. I’m gonna be well and truly finished with them by the end of the month and then I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I guess I’ll just pick up were your posts left off and start posting my own tuts haha
FYI I was forwarded to this site initially by JavaCodeGeeks in a post I found from 07/11
Hi!
I started your Game tutorial (with the moving Droidz) about 2 months ago. I expanded code and combined tutorials, eventually leading to the finished product : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=happyworx.nl.Applez .. I hope you like it and recognize your tutorial in it (it all started by replacing the droid by a basket
.
Love your tutorials, they are fun to read. I still concider myself to be a amateur in Android Development, as I mainly write code by trial and error, without really understanding the basics.. will pick it up along the way, though.
Thanks and Keep going!

Really great tuts that I ever seen in openGL…
Excellent tutorial. Your presentation is much more beautiful than our lecturer’s method.
Hi,
I happened upon your website looking for resources on Android game app development recently, and I just wanted to say thank you for this website. Your tutorials are easy to understand and quite brilliant. Looking foward to future articles.
Regards,
Gabe
Thank you. Thank you. looking forward to the completion
Hello Tamas,
your articles are AWESOME. I developed one full game for Android, but my coding style currently sucks. Thank you so much especially for two posts about designing in-game entities. I hope you’ll write more on this topic soon!
Best regards,

Thank you for your effort invested in making and updating these posts. Keep up the good work!
Hello! Are you still developing your game? When you’re going to release some beta version?
Hi, thanks for the interest.
Yes, although I was in hiatus because of day-job. I have just resigned so in about 2 weeks time expect some activity here.
I have so much in the pipe-line.
still too busy for new lessons? :S
Hope you will find time soon.. We are waiting for new tutorials. Previous were super good!!! Thanks
