first of all thanks for book, it is very help full. I have three Questions.
1. I m curious that as android studio updated, is there any plan of your to write new version of this book.
2. specially in kotlin like “Learning kotlin by building android games”.
3. and any book for 3d game development using only android studio (openGL_Es) without using third party.

The same line of code and the message says GameState expects ‘this’ to be a boolean, which GameEngine cannot be. Where has this gpne wrong?

I’ve got to page 472 without a hitch, but now I have an error message in GameEngine when initiating mGameState (mGameState = new GameState(this, context). ) The message tells me the call requires API of 33 (current min is 24). How do I deal with this?

I just checked the GitHub link and all the files for chapter 22 and 23 are in the chapter 22 folder here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Java-by-Building-Android-Games-Second-Edition/tree/master/Chapter22 and the specific file you refer to is here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Java-by-Building-Android-Games-Second-Edition/tree/master/Chapter22/Java/Levels

Good luck with the project it is quite an achievement for a student to get this far without the help of a teacher!

All the best,

John
