AndEngine - Getting Started Tutorial - 2012 - Part 2 of 2

This tutorial will show you how to get started with AndEngine GLES2 by creating your own personal Android project and using some of the AndEngine sample code within it.

AndEngine is a powerful tool for building Android games, particularly physics based games which need Box2D. Box2D is the same physics engine that is used by Angry Birds.

Ok i am having a weird problem. i followed your video and i am having 3 errors with the code. In org.andengine.opengl.font there are 2 methods that return IFont when it the compiler says it should not. unload() and load()

Second issue is the same in 2 different places. It is an uncaught "throws new AndEngineException(...)". This happens in org.andengine.extension.tmx.TM­XLayer.java and org.andengine.extension.opengl­.EGLHelper.java

@michaelbpaulson Unfortunately sometimes Nicolas Gramlich (inventor of AndEngine) updates the extensions but does not update the examples. You have some options: 1) Wait until Nicolas updates the examples (you can keep checking by right-clicking on them in Eclipse, then choose Team, then choose Pull) or 2) Delete those examples that are throwing an error. or 3) Come to the forums for more help and possible work arounds...

Hello! Nice work. AndEngine supports 3d, or only 2d? (meshes, 3d objects, etc?)

[skaulius]

@l201012 Hi, AndEngine does not support 3d. You can try "libgdx" instead

Thanks a lot skaulius, excellent videos. Would be fully set up only that Nicolas has updated some AndEngine source files but hasn't yet updated the examples.

@tmcthree check out careful about librarys (right click over the project-->Properties-->Android­) if you already add andengine and extensions as a library and it's red it means you don't have them at your Project Explorer Panel you must add them, if you don't know how, check the frist part twice :D
