TeenyWar is my clone of the real-time strategy game Nano War. I made it for the Android course at BME in the fall semester of 2018.
You can play against an AI or other humans on premade levels.

You can pick from pre-made levels from a list. You can play against an other person on your local network with automatic discovery. You can also play against the machine on 3 difficulty settings. The game has optional music. You can persistently save the color of your units, and the difficulty.
- I made a MediaPlayer wrapper to play the music. There are different pieces of music playing in menus, single player mode and multi player mode. The music can be muted. (I only uploaded a small segment of each piece.)
- I drew the levels using SurfaceView, through a central component for performance reasons. Detecting touches is handled through this too and the units corresponding touches are calculated indirectly.
- I used SharedPreferences to save settings.
- I used Gson to serialize my model objects. This is convenient for both reading from / writing to files and network communication. It also made the levels easily editable by hand.
- Network communication is handled through KryoNet. The symmetric, double client-server architecture I made was supposed to be more robust, and able to handle more simultaneous players in the future. The game can only be played on a local network and uses KryoNet's host discovery. If I started over now I would ditch both this architecture and KryoNet.
- I used EventBus to handle in-game events, which made for a more elegant model. This way multiplayer and local events come from the same bus as far as the game logic is concerned.
- The levels and the player's score are written into files persistently in JSON.
- The 3 enemy difficulties use three simple distinct strategies.
