In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to integrate Admob in the Space Soldier project using BuildBox. The project will include a space-themed game where soldiers need to shoot asteroids and spaceships to survive. We will cover step-by-step instructions on how to set up the Admob integration, add an ad to the game, and also cover some advanced topics to increase the chances of ad monetization success.

What you need

1. BuildBox: A user-friendly game development software that allows us to create 2D games without requiring coding knowledge.
2. Admob: A popular mobile ad network used by many game developers to monetize their mobile games.
3. Space Soldier Project: A pre-built space-themed game project provided by BuildBox.
4. Android emulator: To test the game on a real Android device or emulator.

Why Choose Admob?

Admob is widely used in the mobile gaming industry due to its:

1. Easy setup: Simple integration process with minimal configuration.
2. Wide reach: Admob's ads are seen by millions of users worldwide.
3. Multi-platform support: Supports both iOS and Android platforms.
4. Precise targeting: Allows us to target specific ad types, formats, and frequencies.
