AdMob extension for cocos2d-x (Android)
Mar 24th
Lately I switched from Java based Android development to native C++ code and started using the famous cocos2d-x framework for implementing my second Android game Henhouse Trouble, that I released almost a year ago. At that time I had quite some trouble with interfacing third party Android libraries like the AdMob SDK. Finally, I managed to get a working solution based on this article. While the article was extremely helpful for me in getting my own solution up and running, considering that I have minimal experience with JNI, I thought that AdMob SDK integration is quite a common task to deserve its own easy to integrate cocos2d-x extension. In this article I’ll present a step by step guide on how to integrate AdMob advertisements into your cocos2d-x 2.x.x application using the extension.

Finally, I would like to talk about the future development of Pocket Soccer that many people were interested in.

Just released my first Android game
Mar 14th
I am happy to announce that I’ve just published my first mobile game on the Android Market. I have experimented with creating games earlier, especially targeting the PC platform, however I never accomplished to release such one due to lack of resources, especially in the domain of artwork. Hence I turned to mobile platforms as there even a one-man-show game can bring loads of fun time to the players. So here we are now: after loads of abandoned PC projects, here I have my first published game called “Pocket Soccer”.
