I have taken a look at the google video about game programming for android, although I haven't had the time to watch it all of the way through yet, it seems like a great start. A big part of why i'm trying to do it, the way that i'm trying to do it, is because i'm trying to prevent the manipulation of the graphics from the client-side of the application (this is supposed to be a client/server type of game, although it is still pretty basic). Again, I would like some kind of package that included these for the most part, so I can do a simple md5/sha-1 checksum on 1 file, instead of each file, everytime the client loads. I appreciate all of the feedback thus far, as well.
