libGDX
Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework
libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, your browser and iOS. libGDX provides a well-tried and robust environment for rapid prototyping and fast iterations. libGDX does not force a specific design or coding style on you; it rather gives you the freedom to create a game the way you prefer. Publish your games on Windows, macOS, Linux (including the RPi!), Android, iOS, and HTML5, all with the same code base. libGDX comes with batteries included. Write 2D or 3D games and let libGDX worry about low-level details. Heavy emphasis is put on avoiding garbage collection for ART/JavaScript by careful API design and the use of custom collections. libGDX is a well proven and reliable framework with a sound base and documentation. Furthermore, there are plenty of games built on top of libGDX, many of which are open source. -

It's a game based on a puzzle survive sistem.
The game tells us the story of Ik, a mayan young man. As we know, the entire Mayan Civilization disappears in some point back in time, but actually they went to another place, a better one (Something like " In a galaxy far far away"). The problem? Well, Ik didn't make it, he was left behind. So, abandoned in this world, he found Ok, the stone dog (I know, the names are little confused because they are based on Mayan Language). So, Ok tells our hero that he has to climb the Tower of Challenge to reach the other wolrd, where his people is. That's when the game begins. -

Android Game Engine
Multi-threaded game engine for Android
AGE is a multi-threaded game engine for Android with OpenGL ES2 shader-based rendering. In-depth GL knowledge isn't necessary to start; use the OBJ loader to import models from Blender and elsewhere, attach textures, and start rendering! Threads run different activities, e.g. initialization, framerate, timer, game cycle. Apartment model with message passing. The drawing cycle is inverted from typical game loops. Framerate has a dedicated timer, and SurfaceView is in on-demand rendering mode. Game Objects (GOs) opt-in to services by implementing the "marker" interface for each one it wants. GOs enter the system via Install Pipeline, an asynchronous "standard" implementation that keys on the marker interfaces and performs the "protocol" for that marker. There are also Event and Uninstall pipelines. Reference by name is encouraged. A trip through the pipeline includes a Bind Name List; allows GO to connect to interfaces in other GOs on the other End.
