Welcome to the Sandblaster Development Blog

Hello! I'm Logan, and I've made a simple toy for Android phones called Sandblaster. It's a falling sand game heavily inspired by the games you find at http://fallingsandgame.com/sand.

I've been working on this game off and on for two weeks now (having started it in earnest on December 30, 2008), and it's come a long way already. In the process I've learned an awful lot about development on the Android platform, the pseudophysics behind falling sand games, optimizing Java, healthily absorbing user feedback, and more. I've made the game open source from the beginning, so everyone can see a lot of the bad code I write (and hopefully some good code too), and perhaps help me make it better.

I've decided to start this blog because I don't want to forget what I've learned in the process. I also think it could become a forum for people who like the game to learn how it works, anticipate upcoming features, and provide me with good feedback. Expect several posts soon about Android, optimization, game ideas, and more!
