A few questions...

Hi ethael,

Unfortunately Basic4GL Mobile doesn't support networking, so multiplayer isn't possible.
And it doesn't support controllers like analog sticks. But you can create on-screen touch controls pretty easily.

You can definitely build apks for Google Play with Basic4GL Mobile. A couple of the tutorial programs are on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.basic4gl.demo.platformer and play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.basic4gl.demo.twinstick). The instructions for creating an APK are out of date though, so until I get a chance to update them for the latest version of Android Studio, they might be a bit difficult to follow.

There shouldn't be any problems creating large maps. Tilemaps are stored pretty efficiently.

I'm not sure which tile map editor you're referring to..(?) But most 2D tilemap editors should work okay with the Basic4GL Mobile tilemap library. (As long as they don't have reflected or rotated tiles).
You just have to export the tile numbers to a file in a format that you can read into the code.


If you're still interested I suggest you give the free version a try first. It works exactly the same as the paid for version apart from creating the apk for Google Play, although you can still run your programs on your own Android phone to see exactly how the app would run. That's the best way to determine whether it does everything you need it to do. You can always upgrade to the paid for version later, if you're happy it does everything you need.
