Alien Shooter: Vengeance

Is there some place that I can go to get an ID or the 'canonical' name for these games? I suspect that they are the same game, but it's very hard to say for certain.

The storage methods used in android are

☛ a) Shared Preferences: Store private primitive data in key value pairs Internal Storage: Storage of private data on device memory

☛ d) SQLite Databases: In private database it stores structured data

Briefly, yes. Zynga's Café World and PlayFish's Restaurant City uses Away3D.

I think developers might use more of 3d engines because 3d is not everyone's cup of tea - they can just focus on implementing game logic and mechanics instead of meddling with math. However they would shy away from game engines like Flixel, for reasons that Nick Wiggill has mentioned. (eg. risk of middleware)

Various tools required for developing games are

☛ a) Garbage Collector : Non-deterministic memory management could be a problem

☛ b) Lack of third party libraries: Most of the available libraries do not support Java. Java has huge class library built in but they are not game related

☛ c) Not supported by game Console: Java is not supported by popular game consoles.

☛ d) Smaller Community: Most game programmers use C++ , so if you are developing games on Java, you can expect least help from others as very few programmers can give you the solution for your query.

I would say that I am very creative in areas that I am good at producing materials for, and would be more than happy to learn about areas I am not so good at and be more creative in them.

To reduce game lag you can either lower the performance setting for the game or by upgrading certain parts on your computer.

Vertex Buffer Object is a method for uploading vertex data to the video device for non-immediate mode rendering. Vertex Buffer Object is an OpenGL feature.
