I want to create my own mobile app game

[feathertoad]

Does anyone here happen to have his/her own mobile game? I have lots of cool ideas and I really want to create. I could really use some advice if you have done this before. Thank you!

I've done the FutureLearn course on making an app game in Java for Android [https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/begin-programming]
It was useful to see how things are done & at the end you end up with a Pong-style game of your very own!
I'm a lousy Programmer and that was about as far as I wanted to go with Java or Android until someone is willing to buy me a few SDKs and a whole lot of support... and a time-scale to learn it by - I work well under deadlines...

Awesome! I'll have to look into that. Do you know of any good companies that help in the developing process? Like Buildfire or Xamarin? I found them by searching Google but don't know anything about either. In that class did they talk about companies that could help?

None were mentioned in the course, it was a teach yourself deal. There was an android/Java emulator [free to download and use] that we programmed through [but I've forgotten the name of that...]
good luck!
