Introduction

Codename: Galactic Pickle is a game that a friend of mine and I are creating that will be a game similar to OGame for the Android platform. My guess and hope at this point is for the game to work on all versions of Android 1.5-current (at time of writing, 2.2). I have worked a bit on the game already, but the first go was a very bad start due to no experience with the platform previously. Still, I do not have a great grasp of the Android platform yet, but I plan to journal the experience here to help myself keep on top of the work and to hopefully help others get started on Android applications in the future.

Eventually the plan with the game is to have the code base all be in python. With ASE this will be possible, but not for a while. For the time being the server will be written in python using the Twisted networking library and the client will be written in Android's Java-like language. Planning and details for the game will be up on a wiki at game.aweenet.net though currently is being revamped as it was originally used for a different game idea. I am thoroughly excited for this project and hope this will also help others.

 WARNING: Each individual post may seem random, out of order, but the proceeding is basically my thought process as well as programming process and all is written as I work on the project. Each post will have highlights at the end though.
