F1 Carissa

Although this was a fairly simple feature to implement, I did run into a few weird problems. For instance, when I first had made the item in Blender and exported it, it was only showing the top view, not the front view. To fix this, I switched around the x, y and z coordinates in […]

Pong

For the final project, I had decided to implement the game of pong. Whoever gets a score of 10 first wins!

I plan to have a Game Activity, a View that will extend SurfaceView and implements the SurfaceHolder.callback.  My overall goal is to make Pong in a very simplistic way (nothing too fancy..), and if all goes well, perhaps researching into animation for the game (I feel animation is […]
