Recensioner i media

"Android Studio game development, a self-described mini-book of 95 pages (excluding the front matter), is a recent arrival to the scene. ... The book teaches how to load images, and very briefly how to respond to user input and the basics of collision detection. ... this mini-book can only be recommended to programmers with some previous experience in game development, maybe not in Android, and who know nothing about OpenGL ES." (Hector Antonio Villa-Martinez, Computing Reviews, March, 2017)
