Mobile Game Development

> Platform constraints and optimization principles.

---

1. Platform Considerations

Key Constraints

| Constraint | Strategy | |------------|----------| | **Touch input** | Large hit areas, gestures | | **Battery** | Limit CPU/GPU usage | | **Thermal** | Throttle when hot | | **Screen size** | Responsive UI | | **Interruptions** | Pause on background |

---

2. Touch Input Principles

Touch vs Controller

| Touch | Desktop/Console | |-------|-----------------| | Imprecise | Precise | | Occludes screen | No occlusion | | Limited buttons | Many buttons | | Gestures available | Buttons/sticks |

Best Practices

  • Minimum touch target: 44x44 points
  • Visual feedback on touch
  • Avoid precise timing requirements
  • Support both portrait and landscape

---

3. Performance Targets

Thermal Management

| Action | Trigger | |--------|---------| | Reduce quality | Device warm | | Limit FPS | Device hot | | Pause effects | Critical temp |

Battery Optimization

  • 30 FPS often sufficient
  • Sleep when paused
  • Minimize GPS/network
  • Dark mode saves OLED battery

---

4. App Store Requirements

iOS (App Store)

| Requirement | Note | |-------------|------| | Privacy labels | Required | | Account deletion | If account creation exists | | Screenshots | For all device sizes |

Android (Google Play)

| Requirement | Note | |-------------|------| | Target API | Current year's SDK | | 64-bit | Required | | App bundles | Recommended |

---

5. Monetization Models

| Model | Best For | |-------|----------| | **Premium** | Quality games, loyal audience | | **Free + IAP** | Casual, progression-based | | **Ads** | Hyper-casual, high volume | | **Subscription** | Content updates, multiplayer |

---

6. Anti-Patterns

| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Desktop controls on mobile | Design for touch | | Ignore battery drain | Monitor thermals | | Force landscape | Support player preference | | Always-on network | Cache and sync |

---

> **Remember:** Mobile is the most constrained platform. Respect battery and attention.
