Readme

This is the source code for the game 'Symbol Jump' which can be found on Google Play. 'Tria' is just an internal code name I used for this project.

How to download the source and build the game

Please note that I am writing this from memory, so there might be some uncertainties or errors. Regardless, you might find this helpful. Downloading/installation section uses a .bat file so it will only run on Windows. On other operating systems you will need to do the steps in the batch file manually.

Prerequisites:

• Install Java Development Kit 7 (JDK) or later version.
• Install Eclipse. I was using 32-bit Eclipse 4.4.0, but any later (and probably some previous) versions should be fine. I'm also guessing you could use 64-bit versions, but you should probably also have a 64-bit version of Java then. You could probably also use some other IDE, such as Android Studio, but I didn't use it when making this game so I cannot give you any instructions on this.
• Install Standalone Android SDK Tools.
• Install ADT Plugin for Eclipse (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/).
• After installing ADT Plugin, go to Window->Android SDK Manager, find the SDK path if necessary and install Android stuff necessary for development. From 'Tools' folder I select: 'Android SDK Tools', 'Android SDK Platform-tools' and latest version of 'Android SDK Build-tools'. From 'Extras' folder I select: 'Android Support Library' and 'Google USB Driver'. And finally I select the folder with the latest Android version (at the the time I am writing this, the latest version is 'Android 5.1.1 (API 22)').
• Install USB drivers for your mobile phone if necessary. For example, I was using Samsung Galaxy S3 and was able to download the drivers from here.
• Install Gradle for Eclipse (http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle). You will need this to download LibGdx library.
• Install Git (in the unlikely case you don't have it already). You can find a Windows version of git here. You can also find some documentation on git here.

Downloading/installing:

• Clone this repository to some folder on your disk (git clone git@github.com:mrzli/tria.git).
• Clone libgdxgamelibrary repository to the same folder where you cloned 'tria' project (git clone git@github.com:mrzli/libgdxgamelibrary.git).
• Create a new Eclipse workspace. I usually put the workspace in the same folder where the repositories were cloned.
• Import game projects. In Eclipse select File->Import..., then Gradle->Gradle Project, then browse to the folder of 'tria' repository and press Build Model (in case of problems read on).
• If it whines that it can't find SDK location for Android, create a file called local.properties (or edit existing) in 'tria' folder and add the SDK path line like this one (use your SDK location): sdk.dir=C:/Tools/Android/android-sdk. Select all projects for import and click OK.
• If you different version of Android API than what is used in this project, do the following changes in android project. In AndroidManifest.xml change android:targetSdkVersion to your version, and do the same in file project.properties to target=android-## line.
