I've updated my AppGameKit game, NeonTic Tac Toe, to be using AppGameKit 2.
It's written in Tier 2 for iOS, a mix of C, C++ and Objective-C.
It runs on iPhone, iPod and iPad.
I still have plans to port the game to Tier 1, so I can also deploy to Android.

Version 1.3 was released today after being submitted to the App Store just 2 days ago.
What's new:
- iOS 7 & 8 compatibility
- iPhone 6 & 6 Plus support
- Improvements & bug fixes

Depending on how much of your coding is in C++ and not in Objective C, most of it can be used for Android development.

My WIP uses the exact same code/header files for building in all environments: Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS.

There are only about 10 lines in the files that differentiate based on platform. This is what my template.h file looks like:

#ifndef _H_APP
#define _H_APP

/////////////////////////////////////////
// CONSTANTS ////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////

#if defined(AGKWINDOWS) || defined(IDE_MAC)
#define DEVICE_WIDTH 960
#define DEVICE_HEIGHT 640
#define DEVICE_POS_X 32
#define DEVICE_POS_Y 32
#define FULLSCREEN false
#endif

// this is required by AGK for Mac and Windows
// but we will also use this ourselves
#define WINDOW_TITLE "Help YeeYee Get Home!"

// Link to AGK libraries
#include "agk.h"

// include our defined types
#include "ta_types.h"

// the std:: classes
#include <string>

/////////////////////////////////////////
// CLASS DEFINITION /////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////
class app
{
	private:
		TA_USHORT		app_state;		// state app is in
		bool				did_end;			// flag for game has ended
		std::string		app_err_msg;	// error message for error state

public:
		// main vars
#ifdef IDE_MAC
		unsigned int m_DeviceWidth;
		unsigned int m_DeviceHeight;
#endif
	
	public:
#if defined(IDE_ANDROID) || defined(AGKIOS) || defined(IDE_MAC)
		// constructor
		app() {}

// destructor
		~app() {}
#else
		// constructor
		app() {memset ( this, 0, sizeof(app));}
#endif
	
		// main app functions
		void Begin( void );
		void Loop( void );
		void End( void );

private:
		void closeThisApp(bool noforce=true);
		void checkForExit();
		void hadAnAppError(const char* errmsg);
		void inBadState();
};

extern app App;

#endif

// Allow us to use the LoadImage function name
#ifdef LoadImage
#undef LoadImage
#endif

#ifndef _H_APP
#define _H_APP

Thank you for the tip, I never looked into the Tier 2 template_android project. For some reason I always thought it would be an Android Java only project. So, very cool to know I can reuse my C++ code.

I have tried importing the template_android project into Android Studio on my Mac, but haven't had any luck getting it to build and run yet. I might need to open this project in Eclipse with the ADT plugin in order to be able to build and run. I'll give that a try tomorrow.

I haven't tried building Android in AppGameKit V2, yet.

I recently looked at the guide for it and it has changed a fair bit from V1.

It is on my list of 'things to do very soon'. I am expecting/hoping that it won't be any worse than V1 (initial setup was a pain, but okay after that).

Cheers,

This guide ( http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/guides/25_android.htm ) only mentions Windows and Linux. Do you think this would work on Mac OS X too?

It is supposed to, I think. But setting some of the non-AGK stuff up on a Mac is probably different.

I remember trying to set up on my Mac. The biggest pain was finding the right paths and their lengths.

@ Ancient Lady: I've managed to set up AppGameKit 2 with Eclipse on my Mac by following the Android guide: http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/guides/25_android.htm

I did have to switch to the Android 3.2 SDK in each project in my workspace to get rid of all errors in the Facebook SDK, probably related to not being compatible with the Android 2.3.3 SDK that I chose because I thought I needed that to be able to build and run on my Android 2.3.5 device.

Anyway, it's successfully running AppGameKit 2 projects on my device, so now the next step will be to reuse my C++ code and try to get NeonTic working on Android.

To be honest I hate Eclipse, I wonder if I can do a setup like this for Android Studio or IntelliJ.

Cool! Good to know that the guide is good.

I need to get back to work on this.

I haven't tried them. The actual code compilation happens outside these tools. They are for putting the Android apk together with the AppGameKit glue stuff. They might work.
