What environment should i use for puzzle Android game? Android studio or Unity ?

Question

I'm new at coding. I have just learn Java and for game development UI I have just learned Adobe illustrator. but some people are saying unity is better for game development. so will u friend's please suggest me what environment I should be using to make interactive puzzle game.
One more think what thinks I should keep in mind while designing game UI for Android games?

Thanks a lot in Advance.

Answer 1

Unity is much better for game development because it uses low level calls to the graphics card but if you're making a mobile game I personally think that's overkill so I'd recomend the defold engine made by the creators of candy crush it was built from day one to support smartphones and from what I know its completely free. the only downside however is no java. So if you really want java I'd go with libgdx which is what niantic useed to make ingress and some speculate that they used it to create pokemon GO aswell.
in short:

defold and libgdx seem like the best choices for your project

Answer 2

thanks a lot Blazing Code. However I would like to know what kind of basics I'll be needing to start with defold or libgdx? I'm expecting a Board Android game with little minimal graphics in it.
thanks again.

Answer 3

there is a brilliant blog/youtube channel called gamefromscratch which has brilliant tutorials on libgdx and a few on defold I highly recomend it, it also goes through a lot of the concepts involved in making games too
