Android Tile-Based Game

Author: Dan Ruscoe (dan@ruscoe.org).

This is an example of a basic tile-based, 2D game using Android's Canvas. It can be used as a base for your own games.

This code provides a simple way to build maps based on your own tiles, player movement / tracking and detection of collisions with any number of different tile types.

This code is used in the Android game Radius:
