It's all Fun & Games on Android
summary
Builds a demo Android game that showcases a haptic library of 124 predesigned tactile effects and proves they make games feel richer and more profitable; chooses 960x720 cartoon assets to cut APK size and memory use, targets min API 8 with target API 17, and uses Google support libs plus NineOldAndroids for animation compatibility. Implements a Rolodex pageflip via rotate 3D sample code, plays short sounds with SoundPool + OGG, and reports real integrations taking ~30 minutes—project ships on time after focused QA.
