    AndEngine is a free and and open source game development engine for android platform, we can say that it is a 2D OpenGL Game Engine which uses OpenGL ES technology having features like to provide gravity effect for object which shows a quick graphic output.

    You can find more on andengine from http://www.andengine.org/forums/

     

    Hence, if you are Looking for game development in android, this is a cool game engine with which you can develop your dream game.

     

     

    Let's  start with the basics of integration.

    In order to integrate it in your app follow these steps:

     

    Step 1: Create an android project with an activity, add jnilib and lib folder under your project directory.

     

    Step 2: Add jar files from following link to your  app.

    https://github.com/amitrai98/GameDemo/tree/master/app/libs

     

    Step 3: Copy the jni files from the following link to your app’s jni folder.

    https://github.com/amitrai98/GameDemo/tree/master/app/src/main/jniLibs

     

    Step 4: Inside your build.gradle folder add these lines to complie the library you added in step 2.

      

     compile files('libs/andengine.jar')
    
       compile files('libs/andengine_box2d.jar')



     

    Step 5: You are ready to go now, Now create your activity and extend it from BaseGameActivity

       Implements its various listeners for sensors and other effects. Customize it in your way.


     

    I am providing you  my activity here you can go through it.
