Please, DO NOT publish this same game to Google Play. Use it as a blueprint for your game development

Features

• Runs on Android and desktop
• On Android, uses Google Play Game Services and AdMob

Setup

You need to add the following string resources to your Android project in order for the module to compile:

    <!-- Google Analytics: Replace placeholder ID with your tracking ID -->
    <string name="ga_trackingId">UA-XXXXXXXX-X</string>

    <!--
        App ID generated by Google Play Game Services. Replace placeholder ID with yours
    -->
    <string name="app_id">XXXXXXXXXXX</string>

    <!--
        Google Play Game Services IDs (achievements, leaderboards). These are the IDs configured
        for this particular game and you don't need to set any values for them. For your game you
        would have your own achievements, leaderboards, quests and put those strings instead
    -->
    <string name="achievement_getting_started"></string>
    <string name="achievement_like_a_rover"></string>
    <string name="achievement_spirit"></string>
    <string name="achievement_curiosity"></string>
    <string name="achievement_5k_club"></string>
    <string name="achievement_10k_club"></string>
    <string name="achievement_25k_club"></string>
    <string name="achievement_50k_club"></string>
    <string name="achievement_10_jump_street"></string>
    <string name="achievement_100_jump_street"></string>
    <string name="achievement_500_jump_street"></string>
    <string name="leaderboard_high_scores"></string>

    <!-- Google AdMob Unit ID. Place your ad unit ID here -->
    <string name="ad_unit_id"></string>

Can't find google play services, Build Model fails

Hey there,

I'm trying to include your project in a teaching curriculum (simply as something to deconstruct at the end of the course, not majorly incorporated), but I can't seem to get it to build. The error output is as follows:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring project ':android'.

  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':android:_debugCompile'.
  Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.4.52.

Clearly we just need to point it to the right rpository for Google Play Services, or I need to get the right version locally, but I wasn't quite sure how to do it.

I was able to work around the issue by just removing the compile instruction for GPS, but then obviously I can't build android builds. Desktop builds work just fine, though, so I think I can still work with this!

Yours is the first libGDX game I've been able to get running on Windows in Eclipse, after trying quite a few! Thanks for putting all of this up!

how to add acheivement

i am trying to add game leaderboard but didnt success can pls give any tutorial from where i can understand and make it pls

Maintain string resources

Thank you very much for the great tutorial and for providing the source code, it is the best libGDX tutorial I've found.

I am not able to compile the game as I am not sure how to update the string resources. I thought in the res/xml folder there should be strings.xml, but there is only app_tracker_config.xml, which doesn't look like the place to update.

Best regards,
Stoil

Add to F-Droid

It would be neat to have this also distributed through http://f-droid.org/
