Time for action – displaying raw graphics

Let's make DroidBlaster more interactive with some graphics and game components.

    ...
    struct Location {
        Location(): x(0.0f), y(0.0f) {};
    
        float x; float y;
    };
    
    #define RAND(pMax) (float(pMax) * float(rand()) / float(RAND_MAX))
    #endif
  2. Create a new file, jni/GraphicsManager.hpp. Define a structure GraphicsElement, which contains the location and dimensions of the graphical element to display:
    #ifndef _PACKT_GRAPHICSMANAGER_HPP_ #define _PACKT_GRAPHICSMANAGER_HPP_ #include "Types.hpp" #include <android_native_app_glue.h> ...
