How to Make Doodle Jump with Felgo

How to Make Doodle Jump with Felgo

Introduction

Hey there, good to see you.

Today we are developing a clone of the world famous game Doodle Jump. Most of you probably know this game from when it was a booming hit at all app stores. However, ancestors of Doodle Jump existed long before modern touchscreen devices were invented!

In case you've never heard of Doodle Jump, you can find it on Google Play or iTunes.

In this tutorial you will learn a couple of things:

• First, I will show you how to create a Doodle Jump game in Felgo.
• Then, we will have a look at how you can integrate online leaderboards and achievements with the Felgo Game Network This will boost the player's motivation.
• Next, we will add multiple scenes and integrate the Google Analytics plugin. Google Analytics enables you to track the user's in-game behavior, to further improve your games.
• And finally, I will introduce you to ChartBoost and AdMob. These two plugins will allow you to monetize your games.

This tutorial assumes you already had a look at Getting Started with Felgo and Qt Creator.

In case you prefer to directly look at the source code of the Doodle Jump demo game - you can find it along with the other demos in the Felgo SDK. See here where to find the demo in your SDK directory.

For an overview of the game features, see Doodle Jump Game. Also have a look at the games Chicken Outbreak and Chicken Outbreak 2 which are quite similar to Doodle Jump.
