Thank you & Intro
Thank you for buying the Smash N Break game template. This game was developed using AndEngine. It comes with Czech, German, Spanish, Slovak, Vietnamese and Chinese translations. It’s easily customizable and re-skin-able. Game has a level editor which allows you to create and add new levels. This editor is a stand-alone part of zip file you downloaded. Just install it on your phone / tablet and you can create levels right away. After you’re finished with level pack, use the icon to share it. You get the basic idea how to play and use the game if you try it for yourself. Download it @ http://m.halmi.sk/smashnbreak.html. In case of any questions just write me an email: rootko@gmail.com

Unzip it and copy NDK folder path to clipboard.
Start Android Studio and select Import Project. Find the SmashNBreak folder...
Open local.properties and change the ndk.dir variable, so it points to your NDK directory. Don't forget to escape '\' with '\\' if you're on Windows.
Before you start to customize Smash N Break’s graphics, sounds and levels to your liking, you should change some constants. Open file app\src\main\res\values\constants.xml and change values:

Now open app\src\main\java\sk\halmi\smashnbreak\helper\Constants.java and customize following:

You can also experiment with the other constants in the Constants.java, just make sure you make a copy when changing things. Don’t forget to change the name of game. Do so in app\src\main\res\values\strings.xml. It’s under app_nameidentifier. Also change the name of game in translated strings.xml in values-cs, values-de and others...
Smash N Break is easily customizable and re-skin-able. All the in-game graphics files are located in folder app\src\main\assets\gfx\, all the menu graphics are located in folder app\src\main\res\drawable\, sounds and music are to be found in app\src\main\res\raw\. Just replace them with your own with the same name and appropriate resolution and you’re good to go. Your game will be looking anew in no time.
If you want to create new level packs / levels, the easiest way to do this is use the built-in (or standalone included in zip file) level editor. After each save file is created in Android device in SmashnBreak directory. Those files can be used directly in game, just put them in app\src\main\assets\levels\ directory and add them in the Constants.java as described above. If you use stand-alone editor, you can easily share the level packs via icon. Send it to your email, add it to assets folder and add it to Constants.java and new level pack will be available for your users.
If you plan to release your Smash N Break clone in the Google play store, you need to change the application ID. Open app\build.gradle and change the line applicationId 'sk.halmi.AndBreaker' to your package id.
