Hallo Mario,
ich finde den Schritt mit der Dokumentations-Initiative eine sehr gute Idee. Das Framework ist absolut gelungen und toll aufgebaut. Es gibt auch sehr viele gute youtube Videos von dir zu dem Thema, die Wiki, die Users-Wiki, etc.
Es fehlt allerdings (meiner Meinung nach) das Dach über all diese Dinge. Eine gut aufbereitete, schnelle, online verfügbare API die kein “pain in the butt” ist. Sorry. Extrem gut aufbereitetes Learning Center inkl. API, Video Section, Beispiele inkl. Code, Tutorials und Migrationsanleitungen für das Javascript-Framework ExtJS gibts auf http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/ –> das ist absolut toll zum Einlernen und hat mich wahnsinnig schnell auf Track mit diesem Framework gebracht. Bei libgdx hab ich da leider etwas länger gebraucht (bzw. bin ich auch noch nicht auf der Höhe auf der ich gern wäre).
Falls du Interesse hättest, selbst ein vergleichbares APO/Learning Center wie die ExtJS Jungs auf die Beine zu stellen und du willst das nicht allein machen, schreib mir. Bin St. Pöltner, vielleicht kömma ja mal was arrangieren.
Gratulation nochmal zu dem gelungenen Framework! Ziehe meinen Technikerhut!!
LG, Michael

Mario!

I just wanted to thank you so much for writing such a great book. It’s been my favorite technical book I’ve ever read. The book was entertaining, fun, informative, and laid out in a great fashion. Below is my review I left at amazon and for you to use if you ever need. I doubt you will because you already have so many great ones! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and keeping the open source movement alive.

– REVIEW –
This really is a great book for beginning Android and in general, all gaming development. With this book you will follow Mario and his great sense of humor through game development concepts from scratch to using the framework you create.

With this book you learn the nuts and bolts of creating a great gaming framework. Mario goes step by step through creating a nice framework. He provides great detail in the examples and always gives a thorough explanation. You’ll start at the lowest level and build up. Learning this way will allow you to learn the concept and build upon then. Eventually you start building a framework and continue to reuse the code through out the book.

This book is laid out great and really builds upon itself. Mario is a great teacher and has an excellent way of making the material fresh and fun. His approach is engaging, entertaining, and will keep you wanting to move from chapter to chapter. I have never enjoyed a technical book so much and never read through one so fast.

Thanks Mario!

Absolutely fantastic series!

Based on this I could make a neat highschool project though it’s more of an Alpha version.
It’s on github if anyone’s interested: https://github.com/matyicsapo/MultiVerse

All thanks to Mario!
