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”.
Going mobile with OpenGL ES
Apr 18th
Many things have changed since the first time the public put their hands on the first mobile phone device as these days the end user rarely makes their choices when buying a mobile equipment based on their telephony capabilities. In fact, nowadays these devices are one of the most popular entertainment platforms out there. The main problem for application developers is that these platforms tended to be very heterogeneous from point of view of hardware architecture as well as that of API support. Meanwhile things have changed. While the underlying hardware still varies a lot from device to device the work of application developers has been eased by having cross platform mobile operating systems and open standards. In particular OpenGL ES that is an embedded version of the popular graphics API. In this article I would like to talk about some of the big players of the mobile OS industry and about using OpenGL ES for creating impressive mobile applications.
