Fellow geeks,
We are pleased to announce that we have once again teamed up with Packt Publishing and we are organizing another Android book giveaway just for you!
As you have noticed, we love Android programming and of course Android game development here at Java Code Geeks. So, we are thrilled to have some Andengine books to give you!
Andengine is a free Android 2D OpenGL Game Engine and it is the same engine we used to create our Android Game, Arkdroid.
The book we are referring to is “AndEngine for Android Game Development Cookbook“, written by Jayme Schroeder and Brian Broyles.
5 lucky winners will have the chance to win a copy of Packt’s book on Android (ebook and print format). Read along to find more details about the contest.
