To be honest, I had some ideas for games/apps for android phones and they had that 'engine' which pretty much made them for you. It wasn't fun however and they canned the project, so I figured f*ck it, I'll do a proper android tutorial (which recommended Eclipse as there was an android emulation plugin).
I already know how to write in DataBasic (not an OOP, its from the 70s or something) so I figured it wouldn't be too hard to pick up...
Yeah... well that plan fell on it's face because it was all java based and I didnt know java or know how a OOP language worked for that matter.
So anyway, I'm about 700 pages into this java text book (looking forward to getting to the swing library bits)
Trucking on...
