Objective

Implementing the Nifty GUI system to change between the main framework screens, in this case: Splash Screen, Loading Screen, Main Screen (Menu) and World Map Screen. After that, a simple select and gesture system was implemented comprising 3 functionalities:

• Select any character in the 3D world map
• Deselect all of them by tapping twice anywhere on the floor
• Identify 2 fingers on the screen and if it's true, only if it's true, move the camera in the world.

Where is the main source code?

You can find the files under the following package com.aerolitos.prj44, in the ./src path.

Where is test compiled APK?

The APG was compiled and tested in Galaxy S7, and everything worked as expected. You can find these files under the ./dist folder.

How to compile it?

You'll need the following applications installed and set up to compile it yourself:

• Jmonkey Engine 3 SDK - Since we're using Nbandroid and Netbeans 8.2 is incompatible with it, you'll need JME SDK 3.1-beta2-b001-SNAPSHOT Link
• CodeWorks for Android 1R6 - I had problems using the newer versions, so this one would work for us Link

Hints

• Use JME3 SDK and configure in Options the proper Android SDK path (In my case was C:\NVPACK\android-sdk)
• Open project properties and check the following config
• Pay atention to the JDK version set in Sources section, otherwise you'll get error stuff (I used JDK 7)
• In the Compiling section uncheck the compile on save option
• Check the Enable Android Deployment option in the Mobile section
• Still in Mobile section, specify the Android Target option (For my project I used Android 6.0)
• Enable the Developer Mode in your Android and the USB Debugging feature before running
• Clean and Build and the Run with your smartphone plugged in
