What you need for this book

Learning AndEngine is meant for complete beginners in Android game development, but you should know the fundamentals of Java programming. Having some knowledge of the Android platform is beneficial but not required and no knowledge of AndEngine is expected.

All the required software applications are open source and can be obtained for free from the Internet. Therefore, an Internet connection is required. The first chapter of the book helps you download the software and set your environment.

To follow the tutorial in this book, you should own an Android phone or tablet and a PC or a Mac that is able to run the Eclipse IDE and Android SDK. The examples can be run on an Android emulator but it is not recommended.

Martin Varga is a professional Java developer with a passion for teaching and developing mobile games. He has worked as a senior software engineer in several domains, including telecommunications, mentoring juniors and leading teams of developers. When it was announced that Java will be the language of choice for the Android mobile platform, he seized the opportunity and started his indie game developer career. He is the author of Mr. Dandelion's Adventures, an Android game made with AndEngine, and a few other games used in his tutorials, which are published on his website http://android.kul.is. Alongside the tutorials, he is also trying to promote other indie developers' games and writing game reviews. He's an active member of the AndEngine community and several game development websites, answering questions of newcomers in the indie game development scene daily.
