Android Development Tutorial Lesson 2 | Creating Game Interface Concept

The second tutorial is all about the game interface concept and how its elements connect with one another. You’ll find out how to implement various classes and create game resources to be used later in the game development.

00:25 Now let's create the game. The first thing we look at the tasks, and the second we look at the gameplay. Our task is to create a Scroller game. A spaceship is flying through the corridor and is collecting bonuses. The player's goal is to collect a certain number of bonuses, not colliding with walls of the corridor.
00:26 Then we look at the application interface. It will include Main Menu, Pause Manu, Menu Lose, Menu Win, and Game. Now we can see the connection between our elements of the interface, so let’s look at each interface individually.
1:01 Main Menu
We will place the buttons in Main Menu, such as Start Button, Game Title and Background.
1:20 Pause Menu
Pause menu will consist of Background that has two buttons, Continue Button and Main Menu Button.
1:37 Win and Lose Menu
These menus will consist of Background, Header Text and Main Menu Button.
1:56 Game
On the game screen will be placed Playing Field, Pause Button and Score Panel. In order to implement the gameplay, we should bring Ship Class, Bonus Class, Barrier Class and Background Class into play.
2:19 Then let’s take a look at Resources, which we will use in our application. These Resources are Main Menu, Background, Title and Start Button.
2:42 Next in Pause, Win, Lose Menu will also be used some Resources as Buttons and Background. In the game screen we will be using Ship, Bonus, Barrier, Background and Pause Button Resources.
2:14 In the next lesson we will prepare the application resources and create our project.
