But the vast majority of what your talking about is nothing specific to Android. There's no 400 line post that someone can write up here and you can read and say "hey, great, now I can go out and program awesome Android games!" It's just not like that. Making games is tough, and there's nothing Android specific about the difficulty of it: you have to work with some slightly different tools than on desktops, but the difficulty isn't necessarily Android. Game programmers work for years to acquire skills that give them the ability to make quality games, and it's certainly not something that you can read in a list of steps on a newsgroup. If you want to learn how to make simple games for Android, there are a number of books that you can read: they give a much better write up of things than posts you'll find in this group (and of course, nobody has any economic incentive to write a book and post it on a newsgroup..). There are several good beginning Android games books, all of them mentioned in the history of this group, but nobody can tell you how to write your game: that goes against the fundamental activity involved in making games (creativity..)
