So I was a tad inspired by Nillervision for trying to help his kid get into game programming and motivating him instead of mentioning the many pitfalls you can come across . So I got to work on a fairly simple Android game development framework which his kid can learn eventually or anyone else who may be interested in it once it's finished. That takes quite a lot of the hard work out of developing mobile games. Here is some examples a long with a screenshot of an example game.

 

Create Game Object

package com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;

import com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework.interfaces.GameObj;



/**
 * You can easily create a new game object
 * by implementing GameObj
 */
public class Player implements GameObj {
    //New Bitmap
    private Bitmap player;
    //X / Y
    private int x,y;

    public Player(Context context)
    {
        //Get player image
        player =  BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.player);
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void update() {
    //Update code for the object goes here
        //Example code may be moving the object to the right
     //Object moves to right at a speed of 13

        x+=13;
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public Bitmap getBitmap() {
        return player;
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void setX(int x) {
    this.x = x;
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void setY(int y) {
    this.y = y;
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public int getX() {
        return x;
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public int getY() {
        return y;
    }
}

Creating a New View

 

Below is a simple View using the Framework all you have to do is extend the Game class

package com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework.core.Game;
import com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework.core.Graphics;


/**
 * Game Views consist of just 2 required methods and a constructor
 * The game loop and threads are automatically 
 * created in the Game class all you have to worry about is
 * update() and render()
 * Created by steve on 9/25/15.
 */
public class MyView extends Game {

    public MyView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void update() {
    //All updating takes place here
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void render(Canvas canvas) {
       //All drawing takes place here
  }

}

Lets Draw Something On Screen Using Our Game Object

package com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework.core.Game;
import com.rizodev.theandroidgameframework.core.Graphics;


/**
 * Game Views consist of just 2 required methods and a constructor
 * The game loop and threads are automatically 
 * created in the Game class all you have to worry about is
 * update() and render()
 * Created by steve on 9/25/15.
 */
public class MyView extends Game {
       //Reference our game object Player
     Player player;    
     //Reference the frameworks graphics class
     Graphics g; 

    public MyView(Context context) {
        super(context);
       //New instance of created Game Object
      player = new Player();
      //Call static method getGraphicsManager
      g = Graphics.getGraphicsManager();
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void update() {
    //Call objects update method
     player.update();
    }

    @[member="OverRide"]
    public void render(Canvas canvas) {
      //Create new paint
       Paint p = new Paint();
      //Clear last frame
      canvas.drawColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 0, 0));
      //Draw the player on the canvas
      g.drawImage(player,player.getX(),player.getY(),canvas,p);

  }

}

Thanks for posting your work webdesigner93. What should use to compile the code. Android Studio?

Yes it's all coded in android studio when i package up the basic framework in a day or so i'll send you it
