Impossible Trap Challenges: (Android Studio+Admob+Reward Ads+Inapp+Remove Ads+Leaderboards)

Introduction

Welcome to the Impossible Trap Challenges tutorial! In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of creating a mobile game using Android Studio, integrating AdMob for monetization, and implementing reward ads, in-app purchases, and leaderboards. We will also cover how to remove ads and track player progress.

The Impossible Trap Challenges game is a fun and challenging puzzle game where players must navigate a ball through a series of increasingly difficult obstacles. The game will feature various levels, each with its own unique traps and challenges. The goal is to complete each level without losing the ball, and the player will be rewarded with points and badges for their progress.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Android Studio installed on your computer
• Basic knowledge of Java programming
• A Google Play Developer account
• A Firebase account (for leaderboards and achievements)

Step 1: Setting up the Project

1. Open Android Studio and create a new project.
2. Choose "Empty Activity" and name your project "Impossible Trap Challenges".
3. Set the minimum SDK to 21 (Android 5.0) and the target SDK to the latest version.
4. Create a new folder called "assets" and add the game's assets (images, sounds, etc.) to it.

Step 2: Creating the Game Logic

1. Create a new Java class called "Game.java" and add the following code:

   public class Game extends AppCompatActivity {
   private GameView gameView;
   private int score;
   private int level;
   
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
   
       gameView = findViewById(R.id.game_view);
       score = 0;
       level = 1;
   }
   
   public void updateScore(int points) {
       score += points;
   }
   
   public int getScore() {
       return score;
   }
   
   public void increaseLevel() {
       level++;
   }
   
   public int getLevel() {
       return level;
   }
   }

   This class will handle the game's logic, including updating the score and level.

Step 3: Creating the Game View

1. Create a new Java class called "GameView.java" and add the following code:

   public class GameView extends SurfaceView {
   private Game game;
   private Paint paint;
   private int ballX;
   private int ballY;
   private int ballSpeedX;
   private int ballSpeedY;
   
   public GameView(Context context) {
       super(context);
       game = new Game();
       paint = new Paint();
       ballX = 100;
       ballY = 100;
       ballSpeedX = 5;
       ballSpeedY = 5;
   }
   
   @Override
   protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
       super.onDraw(canvas);
       canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
       paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
       canvas.drawCircle(ballX, ballY, 20, paint);
   }
   
   public void update() {
       ballX += ballSpeedX;
       ballY += ballSpeedY;
   
       if (ballX <= 0 || ballX >= getWidth()) {
           ballSpeedX = -ballSpeedX;
       }
       if (ballY <= 0 || ballY >= getHeight()) {
           ballSpeedY = -ballSpeedY;
       }
   }
   
   public void checkCollision() {
       // TO DO: implement collision detection
   }
   }

   This class will handle the game's graphics and physics.

Step 4: Integrating AdMob

1. Add the AdMob SDK to your project by adding the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.2.0'
   }

2. Create a new Java class called "AdManager.java" and add the following code:

   public class AdManager {
   private AdView adView;
   private InterstitialAd interstitialAd;
   
   public AdManager(Context context) {
       adView = new AdView(context);
       adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
       adView.setAdUnitId("YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID");
   
       interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(context);
       interstitialAd.setAdUnitId("YOUR_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID");
   }
   
   public void loadBannerAd() {
       AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
       adView.loadAd(adRequest);
   }
   
   public void showInterstitialAd() {
       if (interstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
           interstitialAd.show();
       }
   }
   }

   Replace "YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID" and "YOUR_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID" with your actual AdMob ad unit IDs.

Step 5: Implementing Reward Ads

1. Create a new Java class called "RewardManager.java" and add the following code:

   public class RewardManager {
   private RewardedAd rewardedAd;
   
   public RewardManager(Context context) {
       rewardedAd = new RewardedAd(context);
       rewardedAd.setAdUnitId("YOUR_REWARDED_AD_UNIT_ID");
   }
   
   public void loadRewardedAd() {
       AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
       rewardedAd.loadAd(adRequest);
   }
   
   public void showRewardedAd() {
       if (rewardedAd.isLoaded()) {
           rewardedAd.show();
       }
   }
   }

   Replace "YOUR_REWARDED_AD_UNIT_ID" with your actual AdMob rewarded ad unit ID.

Step 6: Implementing In-App Purchases

1. Create a new Java class called "InAppManager.java" and add the following code:

   public class InAppManager {
   private InAppPurchaseManager inAppPurchaseManager;
   
   public InAppManager(Context context) {
       inAppPurchaseManager = new InAppPurchaseManager(context);
   }
   
   public void purchaseItem(String itemId) {
       inAppPurchaseManager.purchaseItem(itemId);
   }
   
   public void consumeItem(String itemId) {
       inAppPurchaseManager.consumeItem(itemId);
   }
   }

2. Add the In-App Purchase SDK to your project by adding the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:4.0.0'
   }

   Step 7: Implementing Leaderboards

3. Create a new Java class called "LeaderboardManager.java" and add the following code:

   public class LeaderboardManager {
   private Leaderboards leaderboards;
   
   public LeaderboardManager(Context context) {
       leaderboards = new Leaderboards(context);
   }
   
   public void submitScore(int score) {
       leaderboards.submitScore(score);
   }
   
   public void getLeaderboard() {
       leaderboards.getLeaderboard();
   }
   }

4. Add the Firebase SDK to your project by adding the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:20.0.0'
   }

   Step 8: Removing Ads

5. Create a new Java class called "AdRemover.java" and add the following code:

   public class AdRemover {
   private AdManager adManager;
   
   public AdRemover(Context context) {
       adManager = new AdManager(context);
   }
   
   public void removeAds() {
       adManager.showInterstitialAd();
       adManager.showRewardedAd();
   }
   }

   Step 9: Integrating Firebase

6. Add the Firebase SDK to your project by adding the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:20.0.0'
   }

7. Initialize Firebase in your Application class:

   public class MyApplication extends Application {
   @Override
   public void onCreate() {
       super.onCreate();
       Firebase.initializeApp(this);
   }
   }

   Step 10: Testing and Publishing

8. Test your game thoroughly to ensure that all features are working correctly.
9. Publish your game on the Google Play Store.

That's it! You have now completed the Impossible Trap Challenges tutorial. Congratulations!
